Bible:
Our Bible One book will look at the life of Moses. These are great stories
that the students enjoy. Thank you for assisting your child with
memorization of the weekly Bible verses.
Reading:
We will cover a great deal of information this month, such as: dividing
words into syllables, adding suffixes to root words, compound words,
opposites and new specials sounds. We are on phonics chart number 12. There
is a phonics test every week, so encourage good attention during phonics
lessons! The outside reading goal total should be 900 pages or more read to
date.
Spelling:
Our spelling tests list 15 words per week. Please assist your child with
studying the spelling words throughout the week.
Math:
Are you ready for a list of what we will cover this month? Here goes: place
value over 100, number facts to 9 (both addition and subtraction),
temperatures, liquid measurement, inches & centimeters, money, counting by
25’s, dozen & half dozen, half hour and lots more! The most important
criteria is to keep reviewing those flash cards. If you do not have some
already, (make 3x5 cards—addition & subtraction). The numbers are getting
larger and pretty soon we will run out of fingers. We have studied the tap
method of counting and it proves to be a better process than counting on
fingers. We have weekly Math Speed Drills, and your assistance with daily
home review will increase your child’s speed and accuracy.
Social Studies:
We will talk about Martin Lither King Jr. and then cover material on famous
Americans.
Science:
What do you know about wheels, ramps, levers and magnets? This is our
science focus for this month. It is amazing how God has given man the idea to
be able to find ways to make machines to work easier and faster.
Missions Emphasis:
Later this month and into February, we’ll be focusing on missions. ACSI
usually has great materials for our children that teach them to focus outside
of themselves and their world. In February, we’ll be having a special
offering for ministries. We will keep you posted.

Special Note from Mrs. Anderson:
I just wanted to say thank you for all of the love and gifts that I received
from you for my birthday and Christmas. I know it was a one-two monetary
punch. Just know, I appreciate every gift, act of kindness, hugs, and love…
you were truly a blessing to me. I pray for God’s blessings to shower upon
you and your households throughout this New Year.
Happy Birthday!
