New Chapter: Telling Time and Calendars
We also begin to learn about elapsed time, the amount of time between when an activity begins and when it ends.
We will study time again later in the year, so this is just a basic start.
Addition Practice
Continue to work with your students on addition and subtraction facts. Here are some examples of what we have been working on.
~Doubles: They know these pretty well, but extra practice is always good.
1+1
2+2
3+3
4+4
5+5
6+6
~Adding 2: The rule we have used is starting at the larger number and then adding the smaller number. We have learned that when adding you can put the addends in any order and still get the same sum.
2+5
2+6
2+7
2+8
2+9
Bible
Lessons for the rest of 2016
We will begin our study with the story of Elijah and the Widow and his opposition with the false prophets of Baal from 1 Kings. We then will study Josiah the Young King.
We will begin our study of Christmas the last week before break. I love this time of year and the study of our Lord's birth.
