Thank you Lord! The weather is much more enjoyable today! Princess literally begged to go out to walk for our P.E. today since we've been stuck inside exercising for a while now. Then we did an extra 'lap' around the neighborhood! It's about 55 degrees with plenty of warm sunshine and the slightest breeze....feels like heaven to us. One of the roosters came to meet us as we came back from our walk.
Our bible studies this week will include the study of King David from 1Samuel 16 through 2Samuel 8. We'll have in-depth study and use our worksheets to reinterate that knowledge located here. Our language arts this week is through Time4Learning. The chapter includes a story about 'Maps and Globes' where we'll get our questions, phonics and spelling words. There is a full packet where she will practice writing sentences as well as work on reading comprehension. She just loves it! Social Studies focuses midway through American Revolution TImes. The spine will be the text pages from Time Travelers. We have come to the portion of the era where the troubles begin in Boston. Some of the projects will be: writing famous quotes in cursive; making a 'bad news in Boston' map showing Paul Revere & Dawes route and the patriots route to Lexington & Concord; scrolls of important documents such as the book 'Common Sense' by Thomas Paine and The Declaration of Independence; profile of Benjamin Franklin; and being a 'compositor' like Ben. Our living books are: 'Toliver's Secret', 'Revolutionary War on Wenesday', Faith of our Founding Father', and 'George vs. George The American Revolution as seen from both sides." Science will be very fun with our continuation of Botany. I borrowed the BEST book from our library called, 'Science for Kids 39 easy Plant Biology Experiments' by Robert W. Wood. Alongside our study of seeds, plants and trees will be very fun experiments answering such questions: How plants prevent erosion; Why plants have roots; Why plants have leaves; why plants need sunlight, and How plants breathe. Grammar, Math and Read Alouds will continue with diligence. As you can see, we are very busy and enthusiastic learners!!
