Miss Hentges' Hmeroom

Welcome to Room 307!

Religion:  The first unit deals with Revelation.  We have dealt with creation and temptation.  An introduction to the 10 Commandments and the image of God is complete.  Next comes a study of making Christian choices as we live in a community.
 
Math: We are into long multiplication.  Those that practice and know the basic facts are speeding along.  Those that don't are plodding!!
 
Reading:  Most are terrific personal readers.  Some are not.  Keep the literature reading up.  Practice makes perfect.
 
Spelling:  Is your child tackling the challenge words IF they are capable?
 
Literature:The Cay has wonderful social and personal values to discuss.  Ask your child about Timothy and Phillip.

 Meet the Challenge!
 
We often have math challenge problems.  Ask your child about them.  Have your child share them with you...maybe you will be stumped, also!!
 
If it takes 12 minutes to cut a log into 3 pieces, how long will it take to cut another log into 4 pieces? 
 
I visited with  a number of families about logical thinking puzzle type books that promote problem solving.
Here is one you can try ordering from any book store.
