MATH- We introduced place value, as in tens and ones. We have been bundling ten ones to make a ten. Dienes Blocks is the fun math tool we use to teach place value. You can practice at home by giving your child a bunch of straws to count. Each time she/he gets ten, she/he bundles them and puts a rubber band around them. You could provide a challenge by giving your child a handful of pennies. Have him/her group them into tens and some left over. Exchange the ten for a dime. Next we will be learning about using "my friend 10" to make it easier to solve problems such as 9+8.
BIBLE- November's Bible verse is... I love You, O Lord my strength. The Lord is my fortress, my rock and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. Psalm 18: 1-2 We learned about Saul's jealousy of David and Jonathan's friendship with him.We will retell the Thanksgiving story and read Bible verses having to do with being thankful to God.
HISTORY- Ask your children to name the two rivers in Mesopotamia. We will learn about the writing system called cuneiform, ziggurats and Hammurabi's Code of Laws.
