Tuesday

Good  evening,

We had a busy day in First Grade.
Bible:  Wee reviewed Ruth and recited our memory treasure.

Superkids:   We reviewed our long vowel tricker words (tiny, robot, super, over...) and practiced  our contraction words.  We also reread A Super Day at Happy Land.  Thanks for having your child read it last night.

Math:  Lesson 91.  Today we began adding ten to a number.   I  used dimes and pennies to show how.  32 cents plus a dime is 42 cents.  Do  lesson 90 for homework

Writing:  The kids had to write several sentences in response to my book about Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad.

Social Studies:  Today I read "Sweet  Clara and The Freedom Quilt."  It is about a slave girl who becomes a seamstress.  She listened well to what people said about the nearby landscape and made a quilt map.  She and many others escaped to freedom by knowing her map.

Sweet Clara and "Aunt Rachel" study her map quilt.  

Everyone brought home a library book to read tonight.  :)

Please mark your child's church attendance sheet, too.  Thanks.  I got a bit behind.
