September 6-17, 2010

Religion: Our second chapter is “We Believe in the Holy Trinity”. We will discuss the mystery of one God in three persons.

Math: In Ch. 2 we are learning how to use a number line to find a sum, doubles plus one facts, and adding 3 numbers.

Science: We are learning about the functions of a plant's parts. Our seeds have grown well and we are those plants as visual aids. Checking out the root system is cool! We also discovered that grass seed can grow in tiny rocks without soil and through panty hose!

Soc. Studies: We are comparing the characteristics of urban, suburban, and rural communities. We are also learning about the importance of laws.

English: We have begun learning about nouns and verbs. We code the nouns in yellow and the verbs in orange. This is called Multisensory Grammar.
