Preparing for Week 6

Week 6 is upon us...30 more weeks to go and this school year is officially over. 3 more weeks and we will be on our first break.

Language Arts we are picking back up with verbs. We have studied nouns, so now we are moving on to verbs. Verbs are action words, so we will be doing lots of action oriented things to help explain verbs. Also going to be using Youtube to find some music to help explain verbs.

Math is moving on to the TWO family. We worked on the ONE family, and now we are moving on. Tater is using M&M's and blocks to learn how to add. It keeps her fingers moving and she is engaging more of her body. She's a kinsthetic learner, so using her whole body makes the learning process easier.

In science we are still learning about the 5 food groups, but now we are learning about the food pyramid and how to make a healthy plate. So, we will still be learning how to eat healthy.

In social studies, we are going to learn about community helpers. This lesson will take about 3 weeks to complete. This will take us to the end of the our first 9 weeks. Kinda did that on purpose. I love when lesson plans come together to make things easier on us all.

So stay tuned for week 6 as we travail along.

**You may be wondering why I've not mentioned anything about Jr Bug or Lady Bug. Well its simple, they are babies and as much as I want them to learn, I want them to play and grow more. So with that in mind, I am consciously not planning on teaching them. I will of course involve them in Bible study, saying the Pledge of Allegiance, and they will sit in for part of the lesson plans, but that's it. If they want to participate I'll let them, but they don't have to. **
