Memory WorkGreat job on memory work this year! Consider memorizing a Bible passage as a family over the summer!

Dear parents, 

I can't thank you enough for trusting me with your children this year!  Teaching them has been my pleasure, with ALL my heart!  I pray God's blessings on your time together this summer.  May your children continue to grow in virtue and wisdom wherever the Lord leads. I will pray for their sweet little souls by name whenever the Spirit prompts.    

With lots of Love ~ Mrs. Kuhn

Bible:
I encourage you to continue the habit you've built this year of daily Bible study with your child! There are several more lessons in your Gospel Project book to keep you going through the summer.

Math:
If you're interested in having your child maintain their math skills over the summer, I recommend completing the Extra Practice book. If your student would like a challenge that builds upon what we learned this year, let them give Intensive Practice book 1A or Intensive Practice book 1B a try! If you're allowing some screen time, Fluency by Heart is a great way to keep skills sharp. 

Reading:
On Tuesday your student will bring home a passage titled "The Knight and the Dragon," which they should read aloud to you. There are a few words (surprise, awake, hear, alone, people, agrees, doesn't) with sounds that we have not explicitly taught which you may need to guide your student in decoding. An extra sheet of lined paper is provided for students to use in answering the comprehension questions in complete sentences. Handwriting should be neat and all words should be spelled correctly. Please return only the lined paper on Thursday. Keep the story to read again later!

Plan your summer reading! What books will you read aloud with your family? What audiobooks can you listen to in the car on the way to the pool? What books will your child read independently? Maybe get them started on a fun series. Will you join a reward program? Check your local library for details. Read, read, read over the summer! 

Check your email for a PDF packet of summer reading activities. 

Last Day:
Students will not need to bring their binder or any books on the last day of school, but they should still bring their backpack for carrying things, as well as their lunch and water bottle. They won't need an afternoon snack unless you would like them to have something other than the options we will have available: popcorn/chips, fruit, cotton candy, juice, and water. We will be playing outside games in the afternoon, so consider applying sunscreen before school that day.

Dear Parents:

It's been a long year, yet a quick year as well. The finish line is definitely in sight! We still have a lot of fun learning ahead this week, and we will squeeze every moment out of the time we have remaining!

"Don’t you know that the runners in a stadium all race, but only one receives the prize? 
Run in such a way to win the prize." -1 Corinthians 9:24

Striving for excellence with you,
Mrs. Kuhn


Bible: 
This will be our last week of The Gospel Project lessons, but I encourage you to finish the final six weeks of the book with your children this summer!

Please return your borrowed copy of The Early Reader's Bible on Tuesday, May 13!

Math: 
We will finish our Singapore 1B books this week! What an accomplishment! I'm so proud of all of the hard work and growth I've witnessed in math this year. I hope you and your student are too!

Reading:
It's time for the last Phonogram Assessment of the year! Please complete Phonogram Assessment #6 and leave it in the Language Arts section of your child's binder. I will look for it there on Thursday, May 8th. 

This week we'll work through the last of the 1st grade OPG lessons, finishing up with phonograms that spell /ôr/. The rest of OPG will be covered in 2nd grade. 

Decodable words in "Love God When You Hurt" from the Early Reader's Bible (sight words in parenthesis): Love, God, When, You, (was), a, good, man, who, so, gave, him, things, (one), day, something, sad, to, man, ran, up, to, and, (said), bad, took, some, (of), your, then, too, then, all, so, these, them, from, me, but, they, sick, (would), not, I, will, at, times, He, told, stop, made, well, new

Please return The Early Reader's Bible to school on Tuesday, May 13th!
Lesson 31 is called "Putting It All Together," and your student will be playing several games that will allow you to assess their mastery of the topics we covered this year. Use the information you gather to plan some personalized spelling practice for your student over the summer. 

Grammar:
For the Final Grammar Review, students will respond orally to the questions and parents will write their answers. I am providing a hard copy so that you won't need to write in your FLL book and so that you can turn the Final Review in to me when it's complete.

Return both pages of the Final Grammar Review to school for grading by Thursday, May 8th.

Geography:
Since we have successfully learned the names of each African country, now students can use this interactive online map to review all the countries of Africa (click the "learn" button to have the country names read out loud). Have the maps and songs ready to help students as they play!

History:
Questions for discussion for SotW Ch. 39: Our book says that Nero was the worst Roman emperor of all. Do you agree or disagree with that statement? Use examples to tell why. Why did Christians refuse to worship the Roman emperors? What choice would you have made? What idea did Christians have so that they could keep meeting without anyone knowing? Constantine at first worshipped Apollo, but later decided to follow the true God. What was the turning point in his life? 

Journal sentence: Christians in Rome were persecuted until Emperor Constantine put an end to it. 

Science:
Ocean Animal Report: Students may choose any animal from G&B/MB to research and complete all sections of the form. Students should use neat handwriting and write in complete sentences, including proper capitalization and punctuation. All words should be spelled correctly. If your child needs to spell a word that has not been taught, please have them copy the correct spelling. Extra handwriting lines are provided for students who wish to use them instead of or in addition to the lines on the form. There will not be an oral component to this assignment. The report is due by Thursday, May 8th.

Memory Work:
I'm proud of every child's dedication to their memory work. My hope is that the verses, poems, hymns, and books of the Bible would pop back into their minds as the Spirit leads. I pray that the students would internalize in their hearts the truth, beauty, and goodness their minds have memorized.

Dear Parents:
As I reflect on the quickly-approaching end of this year, I want to thank you for all of your amazing support! It has been a priviledge and an honor to partner with you. 
Love,
Mrs. Kuhn

Math: 
This week we will finish our current unit with subtracting double digit numbers. Take your time. Allow your child to use manipulatives to build and rearrange numbers to visualize what is happening when working these subtraction problems. Don't gloss over this step! Their concrete understanding is KEY to them being able to move on to mentally manipulating numbers confidently rather than simply following a procedure as many of us were taught to do as children. Continue to check over WB pages covered in class for completion and understanding.

For the remainder of the school year, our lessons will cover money. Pay close attention to the assigned page numbers this week, as I have split one of the lessons into two days to cover it more thoroughly. Let the students experience using physical money (either real or play coins & bills) for TB and WB exercises whenever possible! You may find that using a 100 chart to add values of coins can be helpful (click here for a video showing this method).

Reading:
This week we'll continue in OPG with r-controlled (bossy R) vowels, moving on to the /ôr/ sound. Remember that with dictation for reading lessons, we are aiming to make a multisensory connection in the brain between the sounds and the letters in the words. We are not expecting the students to know the rules yet for when to use OR vs OUR for the /ôr/ sound, so it is absolutely fine and even necessary to tell your student, "Spell 'court,' and use the OUR phonogram when you spell the /ôr/ sound."

Also note, when you teach OUR in OPG Lesson 159, the phonogram card only lists one sound, the sound of /er/ as in journey. Go ahead and pencil in /or/ as in four as another sound for OUR. 

In the Flyleaf reader "Junk?", you will need to guide your student in decoding "collect" using the 4th sound of o instead of its short sound as they would expect in a closed syllable. Also, since we have not taught the "sure" ending, you will need to give that sound to your student when they decode "treasure." 

Decodable words in "Building New Walls" from the Early Reader's Bible (sight words in parenthesis): New, walls, for, the, king, but, (one), day, sad, why, (are), you, so, long, tore, down, my, (said), they, (what), do, want, me, to, do, please, let, go, home, (build), may, went, he, found, some, did, not, like, this, his, (have), (was), something, that, God, him, came, see, helping

Decodable words in "Esther is a Brave Queen" from the Early Reader's Bible (sight words in parenthesis): Is, a, brave, queen, a, man, came, to, see, Queen, someone, wants, kill, the, man, (said), what, can, I, do, ask, king, to, help, us, but, (could), not, this, she, time, must, me, him, be, want, her, went, did, he, (what), for, please, help, my, bad, them, will, too, not, like, so, now, they, that

Phonogram Game Ideas   
Practice App

Composition:
Custom Handwriting Practice Sheets   

Spelling:
In Lesson 30 we will teach the spelling of the /ou/ sound with either OU or OW. Just as in previous lessons with OY/OI and AU/AW, deciding whether to use OU or OW at the end of a word is straightforward. English words don't end in U, so OW will be used at the end of words (except in the word thou). At the beginning of words or in the middle, there is less predictability because OU or OW can both be used. Again, lots of exposure to the word bank (pg 187 in the activity book) and word sorts (like this one and this one) will help. 

Grammar:
For the Final Grammar Review, students will respond orally to the questions and parents will write their answers. I am providing a hard copy so that you won't need to write in your FLL book and so that you can turn the Final Review in to me when it's complete. If you need to print a new one, you can find it here

Note- Final Grammar Review pg 166 is assigned next week, but you may complete it this week along with pg 165 if you prefer. Return both pages together for grading by next Thursday, May 8th.

Geography:
Since we have successfully learned the names of each African country, now students can use this interactive online map to review all the countries of Africa. Have the maps and songs ready to help them as they play!

History:
Here are some questions for discussion as you teach SotW Chapter 37-38: How was Jesus different from all of the other religious leaders we've learned about in our history lessons? Why was Jerusalem such a special place for Jewish people? What happened to the Jewish temple when the Romans attacked it? Why did the Romans choose to destroy the temple? 

Journal sentence: When their temple was destroyed, the Jews were forced out of Jerusalem.

Science:
The Good and the Beautiful has inexplicably omitted sea birds from their latest version of the Marine Biology unit! Therefore, we'll be using sources outside of the text to discover interesting facts about these feathered friends. Please view the video Penguins for Kids with your student and ask them to orally narrate as you go. You can use these questions to aid in your discussion: How does the coloring of a penguin help keep it safe? In what ways is a penguin's body suited for swimming? What kind of fish do penguins think tastes the best (trick question!)? How do you think a group of penguins got the names "raft" and "waddle"? If you were a penguin, would you think it more fun to glide through the water or slide on the ice?

Journal sentence: Penguins swim easily through water, but they waddle upright on land.

**Looking ahead**
This week students will be bringing home a "My Ocean Animal Report" page. The report will not be due until NEXT Thursday, and working on it will be the only assignment for science next Wednesday. I don't want anyone to feel rushed, so I'm assigning it now to allow plenty of time for students to complete it. It will be graded based on the following guidelines:

Students may choose any animal from G&B/MB to research and complete all sections of the form. Students should use neat handwriting and write in complete sentences, including proper capitalization and punctuation. All words should be spelled correctly. If your child needs to spell a word that has not been taught, please have them copy the correct spelling. Extra handwriting lines are provided for students who wish to use those instead of or in addition to the lines on the form. There will not be an oral component to this assignment. The report is due by Thursday, 5/8.

Memory Work:
Quarter 4 poem: Rock of Ages will be due this week, 5/1.  Here is a link to the song that we practice in class. This artist does substitute "commands" for "demands" in the 2nd stanza, so I will accept either of those words as correct.
