Recap of what we learned May 13th - May 17th

Bible Study - We learned the story of Samuel's Birth from 1 Samuel 1:1-2:11 and the story of Saul Anointed King from 1 Samuel 9-11.

Bible Words for the week: Samuel's Birth- "Call to Me and I will answer you." Jeremiah 33:3

Saul Anointed King - "The Lord is the true God...and the everlasting King." Jeremiah 10:10

Central Truth: Samuel's Birth - God hears our prayers, and through His word, He calls us to serve Him.

      Saul Anointed King - Evil surrounds us in this world; we rely on the power and faithfulness of God for

   deliverance.

Grade-Level Truth: Samuel's Birth - God hears our prayers and answers them.

  Saul Anointed King - God gives us leaders to guide and care for us.  

ELA - We continue working on new spelling patterns that we can recognize to help us read words.

This week we talked about bossy e. Bossy e happens when we find vowel, consonant, e in a word. The e tells the vowel to say it's name and then is silent.

 We reviewed open and closed door words where when the only vowel in a word is at the end of the word it will say its name, like in so and no. We also learned about when letter I is on its own it is always uppercase and it says its name. Lastly we worked on reading to comprehend, not just reading to read. After our chapters of our newest reader, the students had to answer questions about what they read. 

We reviewed the tricky words a, the, of, from, one, all, what, where, words, to, and was. We also learned the new tricky word once.

We also reviewed double letter words like 'll' in well, or 'ss' in grass.

We continued our Zach and Ann reader which has more sentences per page and practices all the reading skills we have learned so far. We also have comprehension questions to answer after reading to make sure we are reading to understand not just reading to read.

 We also learned and practiced how ck says the /k/ sound and is usually found at the end of a word. 

Math -We continued working on subtraction and learning about take away. Students have listened to math stories and illustrated them to show taking some away. They have also made number bonds to show the total they started with, the part that was taken away, and the part that was left. They also wrote number sentences with a minus and equals sign. 

Students also worked on listening to word problems and deciding if they would need to create a subtraction sentence or addition sentence to help them answer the question.
