Religion: Unit 2- Session 10 Celebrating Advent-

Advent is a time to prepare ourselves and our homes for the celebration of Jesus’ birth.

The liturgical year begins with Advent, which starts four Sundays before Christmas. It is a time when we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Savior. During Advent, we pray and sing to welcome God the Father into our hearts as we think of the light he brought to the world through Jesus, his Son. 

  • Discuss how through the prophets like Isiah, God has called us to prepare the way for Jesus.
  • Explain that Advent is a time to prepare our hearts and homes to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
  • Define ADVENT
  • Song O Come, O Come, Emmanuel link here

Science: Standards

DCI-3-PS2.A.3

Each force acts on one particular object and has both strength and a direction. An object at rest typically has multiple forces acting on it, but they add to give zero net force on the object. Forces that do not sum to zero can cause changes in the object's speed or direction of motion. (Boundary: Qualitative and conceptual, but not quantitative addition of forces are used at this level.)

DCI-3-PS2.A.4

The patterns of an object's motion in various situations can be observed and measured; when that past motion exhibits a regular pattern, future motion can be predicted from it. (Boundary: Technical terms, such as magnitude, velocity, momentum, and vector quantity, are not introduced at this level, but the concept that some quantities need both size and direction to be described is developed.)

DCI-3-PS2.B.2

Objects in contact exert forces on each other.

DCI-3-PS2.B.3

Electric and magnetic forces between a pair of objects do not require that the objects be in contact. The sizes of the forces in each situation depend on the properties of the objects and their distances apart and, for forces between two magnets, on their orientation relative to each other.

Words to know:  force, friction, magnetism, mass, weight, gravity

What forces cause motion? What is gravity?

Activity: How does gravity pull an object?


Social Studies: Finding Places in the United States: Lesson 2 (cont’d)

Vocabulary: cardinal directions, map key, symbols, scale,

Essential question: Where in the world is our community in the US?

Learn how to use map scales and estimate the distance from their community to famous landmarks in the US.

Objectives:

  1. Single out a landmark for which your community is known and commemorate it with a drawing.
  2. Use map skills to locate communities on a map, determine directions, and measure distances between various locations.
  3. Review cardinal directions and intermediate, compass rose vocabulary words
  • The 50 States
  • Mapping the United States- labeling a map of the US with vocabulary words

Learn more about these famous landmarks:

  • The Statue of Liberty
  • The Willis Tower
  • The Everglades
  • Mount Rushmore
  • The Grand Canyon 
  • The Golden Gate Bridge
  • Label these landmarks on map of the US in book-
  • Use a ruler to and the map scale to estimate the distance between our community and the landmarks: Willis Tower, Mount Rushmore, the Everglades
