Bible:

• The Lord leads Israel by a cloud and pillar of fire
• The Lord sends quail (did you know that an omer is equivalent to over 6 bushels and the person that gather the least amount of quails gather 10 omers!!  Isn't that a crazy amount of birds?)
• Twelve spies in Canaan
• Wandering the wilderness because of disobedience.
• Moses disobeys God and strikes the rock a second time.

Memory:

• Joshua 24:15 ...but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
• Reviewed books of the Old Testament that we've learned so far.

Phonics/Reading:  He quickly read through our first Christian Liberty reader It is Fun to Read.  This was great for confidence building!  He does seem to read better sentences rather than just groups of words. 

Math:

• Whole, one-half, one-third
• Problem solving which involved 4 numbers and figuring out which combination equaled a fifth number
• Introduced and practiced carrying in adding.

Literature:

• Wind in the Willows - chapter 2 "The Open Road"  Rat and Mole take a trip with Toad in a caravan.  The trip is upset by a motor car that spokes the horse and wrecks the cart, but Toad has found his new passion
• Pilgrim's Progress - "Peace in the Palace"  The women out fit Christian with armor to help him in his journey.  Christian also rests and refreshes himself

History Lit:

• The Little Duke - chapter 7 Life is not good for the Little Duke when he gets to the home of King Louis.  His oldest son is cruel and impossible to get along with and the Queen is not much better.
• And Island Story - chapter 34  "The Story of how Blondel Found the King" and 35 "John Lackland - the Story of Prince Arthur"  It was great that Cameron remembered reading about Blondel in CHOW and was actually excited that he knew what was going to happen.  Chapter 35 was very sad because we started reading more about the wicked King John.  He murdered his very own nephew, who should have been king.

Nature Lit:

• Burgess Animal Book: chapter 27.  We learned about different foxes: red fox, silver fox, black fox, gray fox, kit fox, desert fox and arctic fox.

Poetry by James Whitcombe Riley: Can I just say, "YUCK!"  I'm not enjoying Riley at ALL.  I think it is mostly because of the way it is written.  There are many misspelled words to add flavor I guess.  But it makes for incredibly hard reading.  I think we will do all we can with our other poet before we come back to Riley.  Here is portion of "Bumblebee"

An' ac' so slouchy an' all fagged out,
Danglin' their legs as they drone about
The hollyhawks 'at they can't climb in
'Ithout ist a-tumble-un out ag'in!
Wunst I watched one climb clean 'way

• When the Frost is on the Punkin
• Little Orphant Annie
• The Raggedy Man
• The Bumblebee
• Granny
