I hope you all had a relaxing, and delightful thanksgiving with your family and loved ones.  I spent the day with my family, took on the mall on Friday, spent Saturday doing household things, and spent Sunday with my husband for our Anniversary.

This week brings us…

READING-TRANSPORTATION  “What are some different ways (modes) of Transportation?”

We’ll also review story elements  (characters, setting, plot, solution)

PHONICS- short a sound    at    am   ag   an    ap

MATH-We begin Module 3 in our Math Program, comparing different  lengths, using math vocabulary taller than, shorter than, with aligned and non-aligned endpoints.

SOCIAL STUDIES-We will be discussing “NEEDS AND WANTS.”  Rather timely, huh?

“Scientists have recently determined

that it takes approximately 400 repetitions

to create a new synapse in the brain-

unless it is done with play, in which case,

it takes between 10-20 repetitions.”

-Dr. Karen Purvis
