Religion
We will begin Chapter 6 Jesus Shares God’s Love-Students will explore how we share God’s love with others, discover the ways Jesus showed his love for us and that Jesus was raised from the dead and gave us all new life, and that we are all called to share God’s love with others as Jesus did.
Virtue of the month: Kindness-Kindness is under the umbrella of Justice. Kindness means expressing genuine concern about the we-being of others: anticipating their needs.
Ways to cultivate kindness: reach out to someone who is sitting alone or being left out, be quick to notice others’ needs and offer to help, and think of others before myself. These are just a few things that you can do.
Saints associated with kindness are: St. Aelred of Rievaulx, St. Veronica, St. Martin de Porres, and St. Camillus de Lellis.

Mathematics
January Number Corner begins, and students find familiar routines infused with fresh elements. Calendar Grid markers feature single equations and story problems with missing addends, minuends, or subtrahends, and students tell math stories to match the equations and use various strategies to solve for the unknown parts. They return to collecting coins in Calendar Collector and record their collection on a graph. They also learn to use known facts to solve related facts of 1 more or 1 less. Finally, they meet a favorite frog’s little sister and join her in skipping across the number line by 5s as they come within a decade of reaching the 100th day of school.
We continue with Bridges Unit 4 Module 1: Module 1 works to familiarize students with the number line as a mathematical model and an operational tool. Students use a life-sized number line to locate and identify numbers, and to begin to model addition and subtraction problems. Later they play a game in which they help a frog jump along a number line. In addition to helping students develop confidence with the number line as a computational tool, the activity helps deepen their understanding about the relationship between addition and subtraction.
