October 11-13
I lost my entries for the rest of this story, so in the interest of time, I am going to briefly summarize each day. We only did 4 days for this book, since we had Columbus Day on Monday
A brief summary of things that we did each day, supplementing our FIAR curriculum:
Bible Leading Little Ones To God by Marian M. Schoolland Lesson 12: "God Is Almighty" Lesson 13: "God Is Faithful" No lesson on Friday
Math Several lessons in Saxon K (we skip lessons that are too easy, so we're cruising through this book and will be beginning Sazon 1 in January)
Reading Practice Friends Old And New Dick and Jane reader
Read-Aloud Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
Story Review We found these matching cards for How To Make An Apple Pie and See The World here. We did them each day to review the story. Each match included the country card with flag, the transportation used in the book to get there, and which ingredient was picked up in that place.
DAY 2
Bible Application Wheat/Harvest John 4:35-38
Language Arts Repetition "But if the store is closed..." Brings the story full circle, making us think we're going on another journey, then the book abruptly ends!
Penmanship/Art Draw Write Now, Book 1 Chickens pgs. 10 & 11
Geography Sri Lanka and England Maps Flags
Science Evaporation This experiment didn't work because it wasn't warm enough for the water to evaporate. We filled a shallow pan with salt and water. The water was supposed to evaporate, leaving the salt behind, just like the girl in the book got salt from the ocean by evaporating the water. Oh well, at least he learned a new word!
DAY 3
Bible Application Hospitality Romans 12:13 2 Kings 4
Language Arts Vocabulary Words: ingredients superb locate elegant coax, persuade native plantation I made flashcards for these words, we discussed the meaning of each one, then he played a matching game with them, pairing the word with the definition. These were hard words, so I was lenient! But he did a good job anyway, and learned some new words in the process.

DAY 4
Bible Application God is the God of EVERY nation! He created all things, everywhere! Psalm 113:4 Genesis 1:1 Colossians 1:16
Penmanship Write vocab words from Day 3
Geography Matching game: Match country name to its flag
Social Studies My MIL was visiting, so she and DS made apple pies and we delivered them to all of our neighbors! This developed our hospitality lesson from earlier in the week and gave him some wonderful quality time with his Nan. Plus, the neighbors loved the pies!
Math My MIL helped me out by creating some math flashcards, cutting apple- shaped cards out of construction paper and putting addition and subtraction problems on them. DS is moving into double-digit addition and is still working on simple subtraction.
We will be taking next week off from FIAR to have a "workbook week". There are some things I feel like we need to concentrate on that will best be learned by focused "book work". Although I prefer to not do this type of schooling with him, it serves a purpose from time to time.
Then, we will be starting Mike Mulligan And His Steam Shovel by Virginia Lee Burton.
