Week Three: September 15-19, 2014
A Whole Week of Multiplication!!
We have now completed five full lessons of multiplication. We have learned so much in five days! Talk to your child about the many concepts and vocabulary words we have learned over the past week: factors, products, equal groups, count-bys, repeated addition, and 5s times tables.
Our First Journeys Story: A Fine, Fine School
This week we will begin our weekly stories with A Fine, Fine School. We will be analyzing the structure of the story, investigating multiple meaning words, reciting the short vowel sounds, and identifying the subject and predicate of a sentence.
Each night (Monday thru Thursday), your child will bring home some brief practice pages for grammar and spelling. Consideration will be given on Wednesday nights for religious education classes, but the homework is still expected to be completed for Thursday.
