more on plans with Maryland unit

I am almost done planning for this week. Well it depends on how long it'll take to do the Bible lessons! Character trait this week: Gentleness. Ya think God is trying to tell me something with these character traits??!! I wasn't so gentle with a woman today who complained to me about my daughter at the library. My dd wasn't so bad, this person blew it outta proportion and I was tempted to slam her. Gentleness along with self control would be good ones to look up for me alone, huh? (though I did exercise self control - nobody got hurt! ) I'm excited that we're gonna be learning about Harriet Tubman. She was a true hero of the Underground Railroad. Her bravery is to be admired and I would consider her a role model for my girls, though honestly at this point, I don't know tons about her. But I think enough to say what I just did.. I found a great hands on activity to go along with learning about Harriet Tubman: make a journal and write about what it's like to be a part of that. Like pretend you're her, or you're one who gets helped by her. I think this would be good experience for my girls. And no, we're not black or even partly! But I'd like to think if I were alive during those times, I'd be helping the black slaves escape to freedom. Other lessons for this week: flower detective (black-eyed Susan), animal detective - MD's state bird.. for MD we'll also learn about crabs and their state tree of course.. There's not as much with this unit, but I hope the girls enjoy learning about the civil-war era and all that. That's all I can think of saying right now. Besides the fact I think I'm getting sick...  |
