Spelling/ Literature: This week, we will be reviewing the sounds and letters that we have learned. We will play games that allow us to practice identifying letters by sound, sight, and formation. In Literature, we will read Christmas and winter themed stories, and identify them as narrative or informative writing.

 

Unit Study:  We will be reading several stories related to Christmas and winter.
 

 

Math: In math, we will complete Chapter 9: Comparing Sets. In this chapter, we will learn to compare two sets one-to-one to find the difference in the number of objects. This week we will focus on comparing sets up to 20, comparing sets to find the difference, and combining sets. Comparing sets is the most basic form of subtraction. Combining sets lays the foundation for simple addition. We will use manipulatives to further our understanding of these concepts.

 

Nature Study: This week, we will be reviewing the animals we have learned about during this semester. We will review the characteristics of each animal class.

 

Bible: This week, we will be reading the stories of “The Birth of Jesus” and “The Shepherds’ Visit.” Please feel free to read and discuss these stories at home with your child.

 

Show and Tell: There will be no Show and Tell this week.
