Happy Golden Week and Children’s Day!
We had another great week at OCSI!
This Week:
Reading: We learned about Author’s Purpose. We learned that there are three reasons why an author might write a story: To Entertain, to Inform, and to Persuade. We looked at all different kinds of books to see if it was to entertain us and make us laugh and tell us a story, or to inform us and teach us about different facts. The students did a great job figuring out the difference between the two.
Here’s how we learned our spelling words this week.

Math: We did a lot of work this week with the hundreds chart and counting by 10’s and 1’s. I hope the students all see the relationship between adding numbers and numbers at 10’s and 1’s. Today, we did some double digit addition with silly stories with animals.
Bible: We are continuing the exciting story through Israel. Now Solomon has died and the kingdom split into two: Israel in the North, and Judah in the South. They will both have lots of kings, mostly bad, but God is continuing to fulfill his promise through the entire story. Today we started the story of Elijah on Mount Caramel where he had a competition with the prophets of Baal. God won of course! :)
