Dear Parents,
I'm so encouraged about our virtue this week as we begin to reiterate in class the seriousness of how God views honesty! Honesty, the Godly choice of abandoning exaggeration and lies for biblical truth and reality! I'm praying we would all be encouraged this week regarding truth-telling in class and at home.
This week, I'm excited for our new math unit of measurement! This unit is always so fun for the kids. They love to use their rulers! I like to watch them learn how to think critically about how big or small everyday objects are, and to estimate regarding what's reasonable (or an unreasonable length!) We will definitely be busy using our rulers this week!
Thank you for the chance to be apart of your child's learning on school days! I'm so thankful and ready for this next week!
Blessings in Christ,
Mrs. Poncy
Important Info:
Reading: Increasing Fluency: This week, emphasize reading with your child and encourage them to use expression in their voices. Model reading paragraphs for them and have them copy your voice inflections. Also, because the paragraph length in the OPG lessons can sometimes be shorter, consider reviewing paragraphs of past OPG lessons if you noticed errors when reading with your child.
Math: It would be helpful to have a ruler handy at home and a measuring tape for workbook practices this week. Although we move on from addition/subtraction, please choose a couple of word problems, (you can get these from textbook practices previously assigned) and have your child work a couple of addition/subtraction word problems at home on school days. We want to keep giving them opportunities to think critically about what word problems are asking them to do. Have them do number bonding, draw pictures, and underline key words to help!
Memory Work: As we begin to study the Council of Nicea timeline card this week, (the Divinity of Christ) we will start memorizing the 2nd grade history poem, the Nicene Creed, due on 11/26! This is a wonderful opportunity to reiterate the truth that Jesus was fully God and fully man through this beautiful liturgy with your child! (I will also send a hard copy of this home on Monday.)
