📅 This week Sep 28 – Oct 2
Four checks this week: the Starburst on Tuesday, the Skeletal System test on Wednesday, the Bible quiz on Thursday, and the decimals quiz on Friday. Math goes first on every ride.
🌙 Tonight (Sunday), for this week
- Science The Skeletal System test is Wednesday. Your teacher posted: review bones with partners, Blooket and other games over the weekend. Ten minutes tonight: point to bones and name them, and say the skeleton’s three jobs.
- English The Starburst assessment is Tuesday. Monday’s class practices one on The Tale of Peter Rabbit: 3 characters, 2 ways they influence each other, 2 other influences.
- Bible Memory verse: Psalm 111, verses 1 to 6. Verse 6 is new this week, so read it once tonight.
- Math Nothing is due Monday. This week is adding and subtracting decimals, with a quiz on Friday.
🚗 Review in the car
🚗 Monday morningMath first, then bones for Wednesday’s test.
Ask it out loud, answer, then tap to check.
1Math: what is 3.45 + 2.3, and what do you line up first?
Line up the decimal points: 3.45 + 2.30 = 5.75.
2What are the three jobs of your skeleton?
Support, storing minerals, and making new blood cells.
3Point and name: skull, ribs, spine, thigh bone and kneecap. What are the thigh bone and the kneecap called?
The thigh bone is the femur (the longest bone in your body) and the kneecap is the patella.
4Say Psalm 111, verses 1 to 5. Then try verse 6.
Check it on your memory-verse sheet. Verse 6 is the new one: God showed his people the power of his works.
⭐ Challenge, beyond the minimum
⭐What is the long bone in your upper arm called?
The humerus.
⭐Which bones protect your heart and lungs?

🚗 Monday afternoonOn the way home: a decimal, the starburst for tomorrow, then bones.
Ask it out loud, answer, then tap to check.
1Math: what is 7.5 − 2.25? What do you do with the empty place?
Write 7.5 as 7.50, then subtract: 7.50 − 2.25 = 5.25.
2Do a starburst on Peter Rabbit out loud: three characters, two ways they influence each other, two other influences.
For example: Peter, his mother and Mr. McGregor. His mother warns him to stay out of the garden, and Mr. McGregor chases him. Other influences: the tempting vegetables, and the net that catches his jacket.
3Why is the inside of a bone built like a honeycomb or a truss bridge?
It makes the bone strong but light.
4How does a broken bone heal?
A blood clot forms at the break, soft new bone bridges the gap, and it hardens into bone over several weeks.
⭐ Challenge, beyond the minimum
⭐Which part inside a bone makes new blood cells?
The red bone marrow.
⭐What is 4.6 + 0.75?
4.60 + 0.75 = 5.35.
