Many Seconds In Second

Math: 

We will begin our unit on two-digit subtraction with and without regrouping.  Your child will learn two methods for solving two-digit subtraction-expanded method and ungroup first method.  Your child may use any one of these methods that they understand, can explain, and can do fairly quickly.   In explaining any methods, your child is expected to use the “tens and ones’ language.

Bible:

We continue to study the Parables of Jesus.  Last week we learned the parable of the mustard seed and yeast.  These two parables point to the small beginning of the kingdom of God and the tremendous growth what will follow.  We also learned how Jesus should be an integral part of all areas of your life. 

As a class, we made bread to show how a little bit of yeast can work through the bread dough can make the bread expand and get bigger and bigger.  Our classroom smelled yummy on Tuesday while we cooked the bread.  Look at some of us enjoying the homemade bread!
