ELA: Saturday has three syllables; families visited garden, volunteers measured plants and compared records over four weeks. Main idea is measurement and comparison of plant growth.

Science | Parent Check
Science: sequence seed, seedling, mature flowering plant, new seed; water/light/appropriate temperature depend on species.

History and Social Studies | Parent Check
History: Alabama statehood 1819; Indigenous communities predate it. Source age and origin matter.
Verify all facts and source attributions against actual maps, credible archives and primary documents where available. Do not accept invented sources or quotations.
Scripture | Parent Check
Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4-9 addressed to Israel. Love Yahuah, remember commands and teach children diligently.
Keep Scripture within its literary and covenant setting. Distinguish what the passage explicitly states from personal application or later interpretation.
Assessment and Reteaching
Record independent, guided or reteach for each objective. If a student struggles, explain with new examples and reassess using unfamiliar material. If independently strong, offer the appropriate higher-grade or Advanced Scholars tasks. Keep identifying information and completed work private.
