I guess I'm not going to have a chance to type out this week's schedule. I'm lucky to actually DO this week's schedule. We've been keeping pretty busy. Nathan follows his morning assignment sheet really well. By the time I'm ready to "do school", he's almost done with his assignments. Yesterday, we talked more about kings and queens and how God is the King of Kings. We sang Crown Him with Many Crowns and made an Orb. We learned more about the coronation ceremony, especially that of Queen Elizabeth II. We also read about the annointing of King Saul and King David. We've already made a scepter and crown, so we will be having a coronation ceremony of our own this week.
Today during our Konos time, we read Revelation 4 to learn about the throne of God in heaven. Nathan illustrated the throne from what we read. We also learned more about King Henry VIII and his wives. We learned that Henry VIII was a talented musician and wrote Greensleeves. We sang Greensleeves and What Child is This?
Next, we read about stained glass windows and made our own using sun catchers. Now Nathan is writing his first paragraph about King David. He's a little apprehensive about writing, so I'm trying to ease him into it as much as possible. It's not my favorite subject either, so it doesn't help my confidence level all that much when my child acts like holding a pencil is the worst form of punishment.
We are definitely behind schedule today, since Nathan went to work with me last night. We didn't get moving until after 11am this morning. |
