Math

In Math we will be finishing Module 2 this week.  It is all about unit conversions and problem solving with metric measurement.

I want to also point out another important resource for your children (and you).  The videos associated with the lessons are available to the students in their virtual classrooms for math.  Scroll down to the bottom and find Resources.  There you will see Mrs. Grucky's Virtual Classroom.  Click on the green words Eureka Math and the students will see all 5 videos for Module 2.  You can watch the 15 minute video with them and solve and discuss problems together.  This is what we do in class, too. I may ask the students to watch the video for the next day as homework and come prepared to ask questions.

We are continuing Chapter 5 Shaping Earth.  Lesson 2 is titled The Moving Crust and found on pages 212-221 in the large green Science textbook.

This week the focus is the Theological Virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity or Love.  The students will memorize the prayer The Act of Faith found on page 12 in the Finding God religion textbook.
