We will have a blast this year working our way through the core subjects: English, math, science and history with a concentration on US history and government. Lesson plans will be given for 5 days. On core days, we will utilize games, labs, songs, and collaborative projects while using our texts as foundational learning opportunities. Lesson plans are provided in Mellow Yellow Education platform.

Weekly Bible verse memory will be planned. Core Days will include Biblical Integration across subject areas. Core will provide the foundation for learning and we will get messy, be loud, and enjoy our friends in the process.

Horizon 3 is a strong comprehensive approach to math, with review built into each lesson throughout the year. Math will encompass measurement (metric and US customary), geometric shapes, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division calculations, fractions, telling time, Roman numerals, counting money, word problems, multi-step calculations and word problems to highlight main skills.
