Only a Boy

• Saturday, April 12, 2008 - Week 31

Posted in Week in Review

Bible:

Worked on a "Bee-attitude" lapbook that we saw at Jamin's blog.  We will finish it up next week.

Missionary stories with the Millers Chapter 9 and 10.  Chapter 9 was about a missionary lady that had an orphanage in Egypt.  Chapter 10 took place in Mexico and centered around two teenage boys that walked to far off villiages to preach the gospel.  These are good at helping us work on our big world map that is hanging up.  A friend gave us this great cloth map that has been invalable.  Anytime there is a country mentioned in our reading we find it on the map.

Memory:

Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving; and into his courts with praise; be thankful unto him and bless his name.

Math:

  • adding 3 digit numbers with carrying
  • tally makrs
  • subtracting from 13
  • doubling
  • time word problems (30 minutes = half hour and figuring out what time characters needed to leave)
  • early multiplication (in first grade!  who'd of thunk it)
  • greater than, less than or equal too

Literature:

Free Reading:

  • We have been reading Pinnochio by Carlo Collodi for quite a few weeks.  We usually read our free reads at bed time.  Narrations are not expected from free reading selections but I always did a personal recap and was always surprised that he was able to recall details from weeks before. (Yeah, it took us a few months. LOL)  I have never ever read Pinnochio but have seen the Disney version.  They are almost two completely different stories.  Disney's Pinnochio comes across as guilable, sweet, innocent.  The real Pinnochio was obstinate, disobedient, and unproductive but does make a change towards the end of the book. 
  • Another free reading book we polished off this week was Saint George and the Dragon retold by Mararet Hodges.  It was not very long.

History:

Nature

Poetry from Oxford Book of Children's Verse

  • Tumbling, anonymous
  • If You See a Tiny Fairy, by William Shakespeare
  • Rain, by Robert Louis Stevenson
  • Daffadowndilley, by Christina Rossetti
  • Little, by Doris Aldis

We both were giggling at "Little"

I am the sister of him
And he is my brother.
He is too little for us
To talk to each other.

So every morning I show him
My doll and my book,
But every morning he still is
Too little to look.
