Important Dates:
1-25: Pizza day and MEXICO song due.
How wonderful to see all of the sweet, smiling faces back today! We hope you had a restful break full of family time and beautiful memories.
We are excited to jump back into learning this week and will pray for a smooth transition back to homeschooling for everyone this week.
*We have added our third poem for memorization. It's a beautiful one! Take a moment to really discuss with your child the meaning of the melodious words.
Above the Bright Blue Sky by Albert Midlane
There's a Friend for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
A Friend who never changes
Whose love will never die;
Our earthly friends may fail us,
And change with changing years,
This Friend is always worthy
Of that dear name he bears.
There's a home for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
Where Jesus reigns in glory,
A home of peace and joy;
No home on earth is like it,
Nor can with it compare;
And everyone is happy,
Nor could be happier there.

Reading
Objectives: to begin reading and accurately blending words and sentences that begin or end with ch and end with nch, tch
- Please begin each lesson by having your child read over previous words and sentences. The mini-books are a great way to review as well.

- Every Thursday, you will do the lesson up to and including "Spell with Tiles". Every Tuesday, you will finish the lesson, and dictate the 10 words for your child to write on manuscript paper. Please make sure to put the paper from 'Spell on Paper' in the green folder, so that we can check it every Wednesday. Paper used for spelling in kindergarten should be manuscript lined paper (with a top, mid, and bottom line) to reinforce proper letter formation.

- This week we begin our unit on planets! Here is a fun song we will be singing in class to help memorize the planets:
Planet Song(tune: This old Man)
There are 8 planets, that I know
I can name them all, can you?
There is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter
Saturn, Uranus and Neptune
Memory Work
- Please take a few minutes each homeschool day to review memory work! (Poem, Proverbs verses, Geography song) Just a few minutes each day can make a big difference in their memorization. We are training their minds to memorize easily! You will be amazed at their ability to do so, if you persevere in that training.
