Elementary School Lessons

My children are up before the sun is up. They HAVE to wake up at 5am (half an hour earlier for the oldest child) to get ready for school. There are days that there’s no more time for breakfast, just a quick drink of warm milk or a few spoonfuls of oatmeal before the school service goes beep-beeping.

More often than not, they just bring their breakfast with them to school. Sometimes they bring sandwiches or oatmeal. And fruits and/or milk. Plus other food I’ve prepared for them.

They have to be in bed around 8 – 8:30 pm. And while they are sleeping, I have to get their stuff ready: uniforms for the next day and snacks to bring. I also check on their bags to see if they have extra shirts to use and/or all their school stuff are inside.

I want to say I can’t wait for summer which means I don’t have to wake up at 4:00 everyday but that would mean 3 bored and hungry kids in the house.

Decoding is the ability to translate written language (units of sounds and/or phonetics = letters symbolizing sounds and words) as spoken words.

Decoding is the ability to put together letters to form words like C-A-T being read as “cat”

Decoding is a very important skill in developing the reading skills of children.

• Children should be able to recognize the letters of the alphabet first and match the phonetic sounds that go with each letter before they can begin to decode. First words to be read are the CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words
• Children should be able to put letters together through phonetic sounds to be able to decode, like the example above C-A-T for cat
• Alongside decoding, children should be able to sight -read commonly used words for incorporating with the decoded CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words

How to start decoding?

Start with familiar names and brands that are used on a daily basis and you are starting in the right direction. So better start “reading” those labels like street signs, consumer products, brand names (be careful with these though for the child might get used to reading expensive brand names, LOL)

Don’t forget to have the children “read” their names too, even if they can’t write it yet 🙂

Addition with Regrouping

• In adding numbers with regrouping, align the digits according to their place values.

• Add the ones first, the tens next, the hundreds, and then the thousands.

• Regroup to the next higher place whenever the partial sum is more than 9.

Properties of Addition

• The commutative property of addition tells us that the order or position of the addends does not affect the sum.

• The associative property of addition tells that the grouping of the addends does not affect the sum.

• The identity property of addition tells us that when zero is added to a number or when a number is added to zero, the sum is the number itself.
