Happy Friday! We had a great week back to school after 3 weeks off!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas break! I went to Seoul for 4 days with my mom, then went to Tokyo and spent a few weeks with my parents there.
We had a week of reviewing procedures and getting back into the swing of school with some New Years activities!
Reading: We did a review week to focus on the CAFE Reading strategies. We use the board kind of like a cafe menu, if we’re stuck while reading, we can look at it and it will give us different strategies on how to read! We’ve already practiced a lot of strategies but we still have more to learn! On Friday, I had each child pick one (Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, and Expand Vocabulary) to see which one they need to work on the most for the rest of the school year.
Math: We finished up Chapter 4! We learned some good and handy addition strategies to help us with some harder addition facts. We had a test today! Next chapter will be subtraction strategies.
Bible: After a review of everything we’ve learned so far, we jumped back into the story of the Israelites after they left Egypt with Moses. God told 12 men to go spy out their homeland, Canaan, but 10 came back with a bad report, “The people are too scary we can’t go!” and 2 came back and said, “It’s ok, God will help us, let’s go!” The people listed to the 10 men’s report and as a result, God was unhappy and he made the Israelites wonder around the desert for 40 years! Wow!
Spelling: We jumped into long vowel sounds this week!
Writing: We did a fun New Year’s Resolution writing this week as well as started Reviews and Opinion writing!
Next Week:
Spelling Words: go no so boat coat rode home hope old told give said
Bible Memory: “Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
