★ Bible/Character Study:
○ Contentment- To be satisfied in my present circumstances
knowing that God is providing for my every
need.
○ Memorize by Week 20, January 28th:
■ Hebrews 13:5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be
content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never
leave you nor forsake you.”
○ Sing Amazing Grace a few times this
week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jbe7OruLk8I
○ Family Discussion: Larry Burkett, a Christian financial
counselor, says that contentment is an attitude of the heart.
Once the attitude has been modified and all has been
transferred to God, contentment will be evident. We have
been discussing in class how we need to practice good habits
(character traits) so they will become a part of who we are.
Help your child practice these traits at home. Practice being
content. When your child complains, help him/her to
find something to be thankful for so they can learn to be
content.
■ Read together the story about Abram and Lot in Genesis 13: 1-
18. The Lord had blessed Abram and Lot with much wealth. What
was happening among their herdsmen? Abram suggested that they
part and he gave Lot first choice. Lot chose the best land for
himself. How did Abram react? Did he show contentment? What
did the Lord do? In verse 18, what did Abram do when he moved
to the new land? Later God makes a covenant with Abram and God
then calls him Abraham.
○ Family Activity: Continue to have each person tell something
good about their day at dinner or a convenient time as you
train your child to be content. Extension (optional): Add
sentences to your jar of ways you have been blessed, to be
read at Christmas, or New Year’s Day.

Week 19Lessons 71-73
Let’s play ‘7 Questions.’ I will pick one of the letters from
our alphabet, and you will try and guess the letter. You can ask me
questions, but I can only answer yes or no. So, your question must
be the kind that have yes or no answers. Your goal is to try to
guess my letter in seven questions or less. If you guess my letter
in seven questions or less, you win. If it takes you more than
seven questions, I win. I’llkeep a tally of how many questions
you’ve asked.
Lesson 71 – Combination ar
Echo these words and listen for the sound that’s the same in
each word. far card startWhat sound do you hear in that’s the same
in each word? /ar/ Write far, card, and start on the board. What do
you see that might make the /ar/ sound? a and r Let’s code these
words. Code each word with a breve over the a. Now, let’s sound
them out. Do these words sound right to you? no They should be
saying /ar/. The bossy r is changing the sound the vowel a normally
makes. It’s giving the vowel an unexpected sound. Who remembers
what we call two letters that come together to make an unexpected
sound? combination Right. This is combination ar. How do we code
combinations? with arcs Correct the coding. Do these words need any
other coding? k-back on c
What other combination have we learned? combination er Great!
Sometimes these combinations will look like combinations, but they
won’t act as combinations. Write dare, dart, and derrick (this is a
typeof crane) on the board. When you see a combination followed by
a vowel or the letter r, it not usually acting as a combination.
Let’s code these words and I’ll show you the difference. The word
‘dare’ follows the ‘vowel consonant e’ pattern. In ‘dart,’
combination ar is followed by the letter so it makes its usual
sound. In the word ‘derrick,’ combination er is followed by the
letter r, so it makes more of a short vowel sound. Just remember
that when you see a combination followed by a vowel or the letter
r, it may not be acting as a combination.
Now, look at your worksheet. Write your name neatly on the space
provided at the top of your page. For #1-10 I will say a sound, and
you will write the letter or letters that make that sound on the
line.1. /v/ - v || ve 6. /ū/ - ū, u-e2. /j/ - j 7. /ī/ - ī, i-e ||
y 3. /ks/ - x 8. /ā/ - ā, a-e || ay4. /k/ - k, c || ck, k, ke, c 9.
/ŏŏ/ - oo5. /ō/ - ō, o-e 10. /ē/ - ē, ee || ee, y
#11 and #12 Let’s practice spelling. Put your finger next to
#11. Spell the word ‘any.’ Repeat with #12.12. many
For #13 I will give you three words. I want you to write down
the sound that you hear in all three words.13. part, car, art –
ar
#14 through #16 We will use our new sound to spell some
words.14. car 15. farms 16. dark

contraction.17. carp 18. parking 19. yardstick 20. gargle 21.

Lesson 72 – Digraph ch
Echo these words and listen for the sound that’s the same in
each word. chart bench chimpWhat sound do you hear that’s the same
in each word? /ch/ Is this a voiced or an unvoiced sound? unvoiced
Write the words chart, bench, and chimp on the board. What letters
do you see that might make the /ch/ sound? c and h How many sounds
do you hear? one How many letters are making that one sound? two
What do you think ‘ch’ is? digraph; two letters that make one sound
Is digraph ch a vowel or consonant digraph? consonant digraph Why
is that? because it’s made up of consonants How do we code
digraphs? underline them Finish coding the words.
Look at your worksheet. Write your name neatly at the top of the
page. For #1-10 I’ll give you a sound.You write the letter that
makes that sound on the line. Be sure and code the vowels, so you
know if it was the long or short sound.1. /ar/ - ar 6. /ā/ - ā, a-e

words. Put your finger next to #11. Write the word ‘myself’ on the
line next to #11. Repeat with #12.12. sleepy

Lesson 73 – Combination or
Echo these words and listen for the sound in the medial
position. cork sort forgetWhat sound do you hear in the medial
position? /or/ Write cork, sort, and forget on the board. What do
you see that might make the /or/ sound? o and r Right! These two
letters come together to make an unexpected sound. What do we call
that? combination This is combination or. The o looks like it
should be coded short. But if the o made its short sound, the ‘or’
would say something like ‘are.’ How do we code combinations? with
arcs Finish coding the words.
