<span style="font-size: large;">This week we finally got around to doing to last two projects for the sun in our Apologia Astronomy. The first project was to make a solar eclipse</span>. <span style="font-size: large;">This was an awesome visual project for the kids.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The 2nd project was to make a sun viewing box. They wanted their daddy to help with this and I'm glad he did, because I was a little bit confused on how it all went together.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Thomas finished his Dolphin Adventure book, and is now reading Stone Fox. This book is an adventure book, but its more of a mystery to us. We are anxious to keep reading to find out why the Grandpa is so sad. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He is skipping around in his Singapore Math book since he is still reviewing. And he still LOVES Life of Fred. I have to admit, its better than I had imagined.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In language arts, he's learned all the capitalization rules, and now moving to period rules. He's also learning about different types of nouns.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Nathaniel is moving along in his phonics/reading. He's on his 3rd reading book and is reading more quickly. He's almost ready for his test in Math U See on the color blocks.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">*We had special meetings at church last week, and I got too busy/tired to update the blog*</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Things we've been slack on the past couple of weeks</span>:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Prairie Primer: We've taken a short break after reading the 1st book. The main reason is because we have a LOT on our plate{s} right now. We are almost finished with the Abeka science, health, and history and that will give us more time during the day. Hopefully next week, we'll start the 2nd Little House book.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sarah's schooling: Daniel {my husband} prints off Sarah's school work for me, and I didnt give him the flash drive to have it printed. I've been just letting her play!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Apologia Astromomy: We've been working on this, but we still havent finished the last 2 projects on the sun.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thomas worked on all his work but I'll just post the fun stuff!</span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thomas</span> <span style="font-size: large;">started a new reading genre: Adventure. To kick off his reading he had a little scavenger hunt. He LOVES these hunts and asks every once in a while to do one. This one caught him completely by surprise. </span><br />

His math lesson this week{s} is to memorize his color blocks. To be honest, I wasn't sure how long this would take.

Once again, the weather was perfect and we had a great time.</span><br />

However, now we are behind on our Apologia Astronomy projects. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hattie is really enjoying the Leap Pad letter factory movie. She tells me every day that she wants to watch the "E Room". It amazes me at how fast little ones learn and catch on. She played with blocks and shaving cream this week too.</span></span></span><br />

So far I really like it. There are two things I would change and that would be:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">have a better way to open right up to the week I need instead of having to keep the planner open at all times</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">have a place to write little reminders of things I need for each day</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: large;">Other than those.....its a really cool planner!! I love the design, and that it's spiral bound. I love how its designed just for homeschoolers too.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's what my 1st planned week looked like. I highlighted after completion, and circled when we didn't get a task completed for that day.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #e69138;"> <span style="color: black;">Together:</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">Like the weeks before: we pray, read from the Bible, do a little devotional, and read a Bible based story every day. Then we work on the calendar, and the daily learning notebooks together. The kids have really enjoyed these so far.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: black;">Other things we work on together:</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: black;">Prairie Primer week 3:</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">We looked a little bit every day at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Country book. The kids enjoyed seeing pictures of what it was like to live back then and to see examples of things like the cabins and flowers talked about in the book. </span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">We learned about wasps stings and how to treat them. Once again I learned something too.......I learned not to pull a stinger out with tweezers but to scrape it with a card or knife because pulling the stinger out will release the venom into the body~my poor kids.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">This week we started lesson 2 on the sun. We've learned a few interesting things about the sun:</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">if you stare into the sun, you can go blind and not even feel it because you dont have pain sensors in your eyes. </span> </span></span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">if you were standing on Pluto it would still be dangerous to look into the sun </span></span></span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">the sun is like a big ball of fire that God put in the perfect place so that the earth would get just what it needs from the sun. </span></span></span></span></span></span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">We practiced doing these 2 things {revolving, and rotating} and we all got a little dizzy. </span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">And for the fun part of this week, we melted chocolate with the sun, and a magnifying glass. All the kids enjoyed this!!</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This week went by really fast! We doubled up our work on Tuesday so that on Wednesday we could have mostly a free day~we still had to do just a little work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I put tabs on the pages that we need to do and here's what the shelf looked like after lunch on Tuesday from doing double the work.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thomas had a <a href="http://crosschristianacademy.blogspot.com/2013/09/thomass-9th-birthday.html">birthday</a> this week! He turned 9 years old. He did get to have a break on his big day, but he still worked the rest of the week.</span></span></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Thomas worked on his Life of Fred Math Apples book and is almost finished. This is usually the very first thing he wants to do from his workbox. He thinks Fred is funny and silly. He also worked on his Singapore math and is still reviewing what he learned last year.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">He's learning capitalization rules and correct punctuation marks in his language lessons.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">He's still working on learning the phonograms in All About Spelling, but almost has them all learned. The vowels are tricky!</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">In his reading program he's still on the biography genre, and is reading about Amelia Earheart. He likes that she's a little tom boy and is very brave. He is almost finished with this book and is excited to move on to the adventure books next.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> In his cursive writing book, he's learning/learned the letters: r, i, t, u, and p {I think that's all so far~just going by memory}. </span> </li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Nathaniel:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Nathaniel insisted that since it was Thomas's birthday this week that he should get to have a day off too, so he decided to double up his work as well. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">We are focusing on his math and reading and he's in lesson 2 of Math U See Alpha. He watched the video that went with the lesson and said it was <span style="color: cyan;"><i>easy </i></span>and went right to work writing the numbers 1-20. In his reading/phonics he's working on blends and reading 3 letter words. He's enjoying this program and feels confident in what he is assigned. To see him happy, makes me overly happy! He has different activities every day with his phonics...some days its reading, some days a game and even some cutting/pasting action!</span></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sarah worked on the letter I this week. She had a lot of fun working and building. She has a few papers each day that I get ready for her to work on, some days 1 is enough and other days its 5 or 6.</span> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> I put Sarah's papers in this shelf on these trays and she pulls them as she wants to do them.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Thomas wanted to meet his daddy for lunch so we drove {around an hour} just to eat lunch with him. Then I took the kids to sweet frog which Thomas loved. I bought him a few odd things at the Dollar Tree {a laser light, a whoopie cushion, and some silly spray}. He got most of his school work done yesterday so he could have today to play with Jeremiah, which he is doing now.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I can honestly say that Daniel and I have been blessed to call this little boy our own. He loves the Lord, and his a very giving, honest, and friendly person with a silly side to go with it. My prayer is that he has many many more birthday's just like this one. </span>Crystal Crosshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02759109209300915575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269640971332815107.post-75065910081267683582013-09-09T06:24:00.000-07:002013-09-09T06:24:52.152-07:00September 2-6 Weekly Review<span style="font-size: large;">We've just finished our 2nd week of school and I'm already falling behind on blogging.

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: orange;">We took pictures early Monday</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> morning to start off our school year. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> This is year has 2 new "firsts" for me:</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: center;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> my 1st time not using a "boxed" curriculum</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">my 1st time homeschooling a preschooler</span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">#1. The first year I homeschooled {Thomas only} we used all Abeka. It was kindergarten, and simple to follow and keep up with lessons. The next two years, I used Heart of Dakota, {both boys did 1 guide together} and I loved it because I could open my teacher manual and there was my whole day planned out for me in 9 square boxes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">#2. I sent both of my boys to preschool from the time they were 3 until it was time for kindergarten, and last year when Sarah was 3, she went to preschool. This year I decided to </span><span style="font-size: large;">preschool her at home. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So far this week I've learned that:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. I think I have put a lot on us this year {click <a href="http://crosschristianacademy.blogspot.com/p/curriculum-2013-2014.html">here</a> to see what we are using}</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">and</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">2. I thought I had everything planned out as far as a lesson plan, and quickly learned by day 2 of this week that I need a better system {after forgetting to do a few things on the 1st day}.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: orange;">************************ </span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This week was a little slow with us trying to figure out a new routine and understand our new books and how they each work.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm not sure how I want to go about the weekly reviews so I'll try a few different ways until I find one that I like best. This week I'll go by each child. And, I'll just post highlights, and <i>try </i>not to go into too much detail.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: orange;">************************ </span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">{<span style="background-color: white;">I didn't </span>take a lot of pictures since the days flew by and we were trying to get the hang of things again. I will try to get more next week!}. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: orange;">************************ </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: orange;"> </span></span><span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">All together:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"> We started out each morning with prayer followed by reading our Bible. We read 1 chapter of Proverbs per day, and we also read Psalms 91 every day. I read in our devotional book, and a Bible story. They also worked in their daily notebooking journals everyday together.</span> </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The boys:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="color: black;"> <span style="font-size: large;"> We started the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Little-House-Woods-Charming-Classics/dp/0060797509/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1377895295&sr=8-2&keywords=little+house+in+the+big+woods">Little House in the Big Woods</a> and read the first 4 chapters {1 chapter per day}. After each chapter, we did activities that corresponded with our reading from <a href="http://cadroncreek.com/shop/the-prairie-pack-b/">The Prairie Primer</a>, and also from the <a href="http://cadroncreek.com/shop/the-prairie-primer-binder-builder-lapbook/">Binder Builder </a>that I bought to go along with it.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">Examples:</span></span></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">*I mixed Epsom salt and water, boiled it, then let it cool. Once it was cooled the boys painted designs onto colored cardstock. Once the paintings were dry it look like Jack Frost had left a pretty picture on the window.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">*We watched a YouTube video on someone whittling. Of course, Thomas LOVED this and was amazed at the things that can be made. </span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">*The boys wanted to watch someone make butter, so we pulled up a YouTube video of that, and now the kids want to make butter. {I have to get the "stuff" at the store, but we will be making butter in the near future!}.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">*We looked up what a Brindle Bulldog looks like and also talked about bears, owls, and panthers.</span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Thomas started his cursive writing and he is really enjoying practicing everyday. So far, he's learned lowercase<i> i</i>, <i>u</i>, and <i>t.</i></span></span></span></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My only form of planning this week has been these sticky tabs. Thomas wanted to keep them after each lesson.</span><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Nathaniel:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> I am happy so far with my phonics choice for Nathaniel. I put him back in Kindergarten phonics {for the 3rd time}. He keeps telling me how easy it is, and how much he is enjoying the games and simplicity of the work. {He didn't actually say it that way, but you know what I mean}.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He also started lesson 1 in Math U See Alpha and will be ready for lesson 2 next week. He loves the blocks, and I am amazed at how fast he picked up the place value and the meaning of it. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Nathaniel saying his numbers and their nicknames. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sarah enjoys this part too. She tells everyone about the numbers "one-ty, one-ty one, one-ty two etc."</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Sarah:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Sarah has worked on the letter A this week.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">She has had so much fun with "school" and always asked for more "work". Some of the things she has done are:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">sticker art</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">coloring</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">cutting/pasting</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">dot art </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">find the letter A in a paragraph</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">making an A with the geoboard</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;">I ordered her the Leap Frog movie Letter Factory and in 2 days she has probably watched it 6 times. I have also found her in her room making the shape of an A with different objects. She is so sweet and so eager to learn</span>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Okay so this is the only picture I have of Sarah from this week. She is watching her new movie.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Hattie:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Hattie has really surprised me this week. She wants to be right in the middle of everything. She wants to color, make "dots", and build with blocks just like the rest of the kids. I dont remember the boys ever doing this, and Sarah always entertained herself at that age, so this was new to me. She was even watching the Leap Frog Letter Factory movie and saying the letter sounds along with the rest of us. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'm back to blogging! We've been "out of school" since the beginning of May and I took a blogging break! I'll start back with interviews I did of the kids today. I found this interview idea on a fellow homeschool mama's <a href="http://www.childhoodbeckons.com/">blog</a> and knew right away that I wanted to start doing this yearly!!</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">History: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This week's focus was on Abraham Lincoln and the Transcontinental Railroad. Here is a little about what we learned about Abe.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Abraham Lincoln:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*born in Kentucky</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*born in a log cabin</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*moved many times as a child</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*16th US President</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We also looked at a comparison chart of Abraham Lincoln and Bro. Branham and the boys were amazed at the similarities.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">While Lincoln was president, he approved of the Transcontinental Railroad that would cross America. Two groups of people worked on the railroad, the Irish and the Chinese. We read a story about a boy named Mike, who was from Ireland. Mike was a "water boy" and helped carry water to the men, including his father, that worked building the railroad. The water the men drank was hot and stale {yuck}. As the railroad was coming to completion, the 2 groups of men had a race by trying to "outlay" the other group. The boys had a sock race to see who could get more socks in a basket.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We filled in the last of our timeline this week as well.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When the track was finished people from all across America came to celebrate. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Science:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We filled 2 cups with water. One with HOT water and the other with COLD. Then we put food coloring in both at the same time. We could see that the food coloring in the HOT water went to the bottom faster. This is because when something is hot, the molecules move more quickly.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We also read where the Chinese workers had to blast through mountains to build the track. We learned about the 3 layers of the Earth. And then we made our own example of the Earth.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Bible:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-size: large;">A merry heart doeth good like a m<span style="font-size: large;">edicine:</span></span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">but a broken spirit drieth the bones.</span></span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-size: large;">Proverbs 17:22</span></span></i> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We talked about our attitudes, and how having a positive attitude will make others happy, and a bad attitude with make others sad, and not want to "play" with us. We talked about what a "good medicine" does, and how we want to stay healthy and happy. We named some people we know that are always cheerful and how it feels to be around cheerful people.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">History:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This week we talked about a little girl named Hilda that had came from Norway with her family {dad, mom, and 2 brothers}, to live on the Great Plains. In Norway, Hilda had a really nice house and lots of friends. When Hilda's family moved, they had to live in a sod house and she had no one to play with, and she complained a lot, missing home. In the winter, Hilda's dad and brothers went to town to get supplies, and on the way back they were caught in a snowstorm. God was watching over the men and the oxen led them back home. In the spring, a group of covered wagons came through and stopped at Hilda's house. Hilda fogot how sad she was {missing Norway} because she was busy playing with the babies that were in the wagons. Hilda's mother told her that one of the wagons would be going back to Norway and that she could go back with them and live with her grandmother. Hilda decided to stay with her family.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Science:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We talked about different kids of dirt and colored a map to show what kind of dirt the western states have. We learned that in the Great Plains the dirt was dark black which was good for growing crops.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Indians taught the pioneers how to grow corn and wheat. We read about seeds and the different parts of a seed. When found the little "helicopter's" outside {aka maple seeds} and broke a few open to see what we could find. We also made a replica of a seed with playdough and covered it in saran wrap to be a coat for the seed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Art:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We talked about snowflakes and how that no 2 snowflakes are exactly the same. We also made paper snowflakes and compared them.</span> <br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Geography:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We found Norway on the globe, and seen how far it was from the Great Plains. We talked about how different the land was in Norway and the Great Plains. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Storytime:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> We started our last book genre today: Folk Tale. Our book is The Apple And <span style="font-size: large;">The Ar<span style="font-size: large;">row</span></span>. To introduce the folk tale genre we played telephone. I told a story to Thomas, he then told Nathaniel and then Nathaniel said it aloud. The story was basically the same, but with some details added or taken away. Folk tales are often changed as they are retold. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We talked about the words: compare and contrast. We talked about the differences and similarities between the setting of the story and our home. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We talked about virtue, and found that in the story the father wouldn't bow to the pole and hat and thought he was showing virtue.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">********************************************</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Abeka:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In our Abeka studies, we learned about percipitation, and about the atmosphere. We also talked about slaves and America's future. </span>Crystal Crosshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02759109209300915575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269640971332815107.post-33281275881826471612013-04-25T06:09:00.000-07:002013-08-12T05:22:20.285-07:00Sarah's 4th Birthday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">History:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This week our focus was on the Oregon and the California Trail. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> We started the week off with a story about a little girl named Nell, who had traveled the Oregon Trail with her family. She was 10 years old and was left alone by her father to take care of her twin siblings for a few days. Why, you ask? Her mother was sick and her father needed to take her to a nearby town to get medical help. While caring for the twins, Nell gave them some molasses and a feather to play with until they fell asleep. Nell accidentally fell asleep along with the twins, and awoke to strange noises outside. It was a BEAR!! He had smelled the molasses and opened to door to find it. Nell threw the molasses jar outside and then shot the bear with a pistol. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After reading about Nell and the Oregon Trail, we read a story about a boy named Ken. Ken traveled alone to meet his father on the California Trail. Ken's father had went to California to find gold, but he didn't find very much and opened a store instead. During Ken's journey west, California became the 31st state in 1850. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We made a bar graph of the population in California in the years: 1848,1849, and 1852.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">*The huge increase in population is because gold was found during that time in California.</span><br />

What would it be like to have a paw instead of a hand? We found
out......with paws you cant pinch things!! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">History:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some Pioneers traveled west in "wagon trains". They had lots of rough days/nights and some even died along the way. We read about a boy named Dan who was traveling west with his family. Dan was a busy boy, everyone wanted his help with the daily chores on the way. I'm thinking it must be the name "Dan" because my husbands name is "Daniel" and is called on for help quite a bit. One morning Dan heard a noise that turned out to be a stampede of buffalo headed toward the camp. The mules and oxen were scared by the stamped and scattered across the prairie. Dan had a very <span style="font-size: large;">interesting</span> life, one night while hunting with his father, Dan found an abandoned wagon. A strange sound was coming from the wagon, and lo and behold, it was a baby. Dan's mother took the baby in and cared for it just as her own. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you know what the 2 longest United States rivers are? We do! The Mississippi River and the Missouri River. We found them on a map, and traced them with our fingers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Science:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We read about the American buffalo, the Bison.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After learning some information about Bison, and seeing pictures of them, the boys pretended to be bison. They wallowed, horned trees, and stampeded. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We learned that Bison grow to be 6" tall and 10" wide so we made an outline on the floor to be the same size as the adult bison. As you can see, the Bison would swallow up both of my boys.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We also read about vultures {birds that fly on a column of warm air}. We used an index card to be a vulture and blew on under the arc of the card and tried to make it "fly". When Dan found the wagon, there were vultures circling around it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">************************************</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> We actually did more last week in school, but I waited to long to write the blog post, and have forgotten some of what we did. Lesson learned! We have been on spring break this week and my mind is a little fuzzy trying to remember a whole week back.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We took a mini vacation to Kentucky/Indiana from Friday-Sunday of last week to visit some friends. We had a great time and the kids did NOT want to leave. They are already begging to go back as soon as it gets warm.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> The girls in the story met Johnny Appleseed and they learned not to judge someone by their appearance, but rather by whats on the inside. Johnny Appleseed gave them apple seeds to plant once they settled.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As the O'Neil family were traveling down the Ohio River, they came near an Indian camp. Everyone on board was scared, but everyone stayed calm. They children obeyed <span style="font-size: large;">their</span> parents and kept calm and quiet. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Its important to keep God's word with us at all times. The Pioneers traveled with God<span style="font-size: large;">'s wor<span style="font-size: large;">d, and had to dodge boulders along the way.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So far, we are enjoying this book. I have found that I have to stop and explain what some things mean, but they understand the gist of it. Some of the words in the book are not in our everyday vocabulary, and I dont have much "farming" knowledge.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After reading for 5 days, I had Thomas pretend he was Peter in the story and he dictated a letter as I wrote it down to his brother.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">A few things we learned about the Wilderness Road:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">*it was very narrow</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">*it was a part of an old Indian trail</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">*35 axmen helped Daniel Boone clear the road</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We thought of how hard it would be to travel with no bridges to cross water, or no tunnels to go through the mountains. We take a lot for granted today!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I placed sticky notes around the house with {X}'s on them and the kids followed the trail. They had a lot of fun pretending to be axmen and chopping down trees. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> We filled in another part of our timeline with "Daniel Boone" this week!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We read a story about a little girl named Molly. She and her family were
leaving North Carolina {our state again}and traveling to Kentucky for
good farm land. Molly's mother made her a journey dress for the trip.
This was a task but Molly had never had a new dress before so she was
really excited. Lots of steps had to be taken before the journey dress
was finished. {see science section for steps}</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> We looked at a map of the United States and followed the Wilderness Road. We also learned about the Cumberland Gap, which my boys have been to, but we had no clue the history of this place!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">making the journey dress:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">*Her father sheared the sheep for wool for the new dress. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">*Molly washed the wool until it was white and clean. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">*The wool was carded {or brushed}, and then put on the spinning wheel</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">*Next, it was put in the dye pot and dyed {blue}, and then put on the loom and she wove in the woolen yarn </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The kids got a cotton ball each and pretended to pick out sticks, and then brushed it. They rolled it to make "yarn" and then dip dyed it. They had a lot of fun with this.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">While on the journey to Kentucky, Molly's family had hard times. Once Molly and her baby sister were sitting under a tree and a wildcat almost jumped on the girls. Luckily, Molly's brother Johnny shot the wildcat with his rifle and saved his sister's lives. He was proud of himself, and he even earned a gun. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The boys LOVED learning about rifles this week. Of course, they probably know more about guns than I do, and I probably actually learned the most.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We learned that the rifles used back then were 4 feet long.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> We taped a ruler to a yard stick and "made" a rifle.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Storytime:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We finished Mr. Popper's Penguins this week. I think this has been the most enjoyable book so far. However, for some reason my boys have a hard time remembering that it is a HUMOR book. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Next week, we start a new genre: <span style="font-size: x-large;">rea<span style="font-size: x-large;">listic fiction.</span></span></span><br />

We <span style="font-size: x-large;">seen the different parts of the flower and talked about the p<span style="font-size: x-large;">u<span style="font-size: x-large;">rpose of each part.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Bible verse:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;"><i>He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;"><i>and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;"><i>Luke 16:10</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We talked about the words <i>trustworthy</i>, <i>faithful</i>, <i>dishonest</i>, and <i>unjust</i> and what they meant. The boys named some small things they could be trusted with: making beds, following directions without getting distracted, and helping with brother/sisters. We then talked about how working hard at these tasks will lead to being trusted and given bigger tasks as they get older. We also read the story of the boy who cried "wolf" in our Abeka reader. We talked about how one little lie leads to more and more lies. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">History:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We are still studying about our first President, George Washington. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We read a story about a little girl named Betsy this week. She was from Salisbury, NC which we found to be really neat because that is really close to where we live. George Washington was coming to Salisbury and there was going to be a parade in his honor. Betsy was really excited because she was going to be a flower girl in the parade. She had a beautiful dress that she would wear, and she just loved looking at it. Her mother brought her some not so happy news.......she wasnt going to be able to be in the parade. Her mother had to go away to tend to her sick aunt, and she {Betsy} had to stay at home to take care of her grandmother who couldnt be left alone. Betsy was sad, really sad with this news, but she obeyed her mother and didnt grumble or complain. While Betsy was working on her sampler and imagining what the parade would be like, she had a visitor. She fixed cornbread and milk for her visitor, and told him about how she had wanted to be in the parade, but her plans didnt work out. Betsy's visitor was very pleased with the meal, and before leaving revealed that his name was........George Washington!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is our homemade cornbread, and yes, this was my first time making cornbread!! *recipe at bottom*</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We learned about how much George Washington loved the land, and the animals that he had. He also loved people, and love to be a "cheerful" giver. He fed the needy corn and fish. He also made sure that the animals he had were taken good care of. We pretended that our living room was a farm, and the boys had "jobs" on the farm tending to the animals and the land. By the time they were done, they both were saying how hard of a job it would be to really have all that work to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Geography:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> We also learned that George Washington lived in Mount Vernon after his Presidency. He loved the land and took very good care of it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I read directions aloud to the boys describing where George Washington lived at Mount Vernon. I made the boys sit apart from each other so we could compare their drawings when they were finished.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Science:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We read about George Washington sharing <i>herring</i> to the hungry people. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some facts we learned:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">*herring live in the North Atlantic Ocean</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">*they swim in schools</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">*they grow to be 17" long</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">*they are nicknamed "sawbellies"</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I described to the boys what a herring looked like, and Thomas drew as I read the description. Then he colored and painted according the my directions. {Nathaniel decided that he would opt out this time.}</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Storytime:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We are still reading our humor book, Mr. Popper's Penguins. We are all enjoying this book still, and look forward to the next chapter every day. We talked about the differences between something that is silly, and realistic humor. And we talked about the importance of humor being used in an appropriate way. We are still talking about cause and effect, and we made a list of cause---->effects of one day's readings. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We talked more about the Godly character trait: JOY. In the chapter we read that day, the Popper's didn't have money, but they didn't let that depress them. Instead, they decided to let the penguins put on a performing act to make them some money. They never seemed sad or worried at all =)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Health:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This week we talked about safety during a storm. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Science:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We talked about baby insects, and bees. We found it interesteing how that bees keep cool in the summer by acting like a "fan". Some of the bees stand at a door of the hive and fan thier wings back and forth to cool the air and a few other bees stand at another door and fan out the hot air. They also keep cool in the winter by "snuggling" together, just like we do in our family!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">History:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We read more about the Separatist, and then about American Indians. We learned about different Indian tribes and where they lived, and all about the different houses they built. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">********************************************************************************</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thomas finished another Emerging Reader book this week: Tornado. He really enjoyed this book a lot. He's excited about his book next week to call Animal Adventures. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Nathaniel worked hard this week to get his work finished. He did get sick at the beginning of the week, but pressed on and with a 104* fever, still finished his school work. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The boys are excited because on Saturday they are going to take their 4 wheelers to <a href="http://www.carolinaadventureworld.net/index.html" target="_blank">Carolina Adventure World</a> to ride!! They got new, well new to them, helmets and are ready for the trip.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">And before I end with recipe of the homemade cornbread, I wanted to share that I made a facebook page for our homeschool "status" updates. So far, I've enjoyed being able to post from day to day about what we are doing or "deals" I've found online. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made a ba<span style="font-size: large;">dge at the top <span style="font-size: large;">right of the blog for the link. </span></span> I would love to have you follow my page. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Cornbread</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 beaten eggs</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 cup vegetable oil</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 cup milk</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1.5 cups cornmeal</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 cup sugar</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 cup flour</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 1/4 t. baking powder</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3/4 t. salt</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Preheat oven to 450* {or 425* if baking in glass}. Mix ingredients together and pour into a greased 8x8 pan. Bake for 20-25 min {or 18 min. for glass}. Its ready when the bread pulls away from the pan, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve warm with butter and syrup or honey. And of course, milk. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Bible Verse:</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The boys had fun trying to remember these verses and all the "fruits". They would earn money everyday for the ones they could remember. It usually went something like: "joy, love, peace, ....ummm.....faith, and long living and we cant remember anymore"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We listened to the song that corresponded to this verse when we were in the van.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This week we focused on George Washington becoming the first President of the United States. He lived in New York City. Later, a house was built in Washington D.C. The house was painted white after the British tried to burn it, and the people started calling it the "white house".</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We read a story about a young man named Nathan who rode his horse to New York city to see George Washington become President. When the President was sworn in, the city celebrated. Then, the President went to St. Paul's chapel to pray for help with the job he had to do.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We practiced saying the Pledge of Allegiance. They boys still say a few words wrong, but they enjoyed this activity.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Geography:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We found New York City on a map, as well as Washington D.C. We looked at a map of what the US looked like back then and talked about how that Washington D.C. was near the center of the US at that time when the White House was built. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Science:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We learned that horses are measured in "hands". The average horse is 15 hands tall. We measured 15 hands {60"} on the wall.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We ran out of milk for the science experiment with fireworks. Once I told the boys the experiment, they decided that they didn't want to do it since they had already seen this same thing last summer at Bible school.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We are still reading our humor book, Mr. Popper's Penguins. The boys are loving this book!! One day while reading, the boys would hold their bellies and say "ha ha" when they thought something was funny. We talked about "cause and effect" , and the Godly character trait, JOY again with this book. Thomas also drew his favorite part of this story so far.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Bible Verse</span>:</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #bf9000;"><i>Greater love hath no man than this,</i></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #bf9000;"><i>that a man lay down his life for his friends.</i></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #bf9000;"><i>John 15:13 </i></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We talked about Jesus dying for us on the cross. I tried to put a lot of emphasis on telling the boys that even if they were THE only person on Earth that Jesus would have still died for them. I could see their little minds working. We talked about people that are "self centered", and what we could do to not be "self centered". The boys said they could give money, toys, and time to others when they wanted these things for themselves, and not wanting to share.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We talked about being in God's army, and putting on God's armor. We read in Ephesians where Paul talked about putting on the armor of God. We talked about how we should be ready to fight, not physically fighting but spiritually fighting Satan and his army. If we have on God's armor, we should trust God and not be afraid. Here are the boys animals with the armor of God on, ready to fight. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">History:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Richard was only 10 years old when he joined the Continental Army. His friends laughed at him when he told them he was going to join. Richard's job was to play the fife for the troops, which kept their spirits high. Richard and his division was taking captive by the British. The British thought it was funny that such a young boy was in the army, and even more funny that he was just playing an instrument. Richard was forced to fight a young English boy, the boy was still bigger than Richard. Richard won the fist fight and he and his colonol was set free. Once he got home, the children weren't laughing anymore, they thought it was really neat that he was in the army.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Levi, was another young boy who fought in the war. He was chosen to watch over General Washington's bodyguards. Levi did a great job and even helped George Washington give a dinner party for some very important guest.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We read about George Washington going out among the men in the army in a long coat {disguising himself from the men}. He came upon a corporal and his men trying to build a fort. The corporal told the men what to do, but never offered to help them. Just then George Washington ran up and helped the men get the last log up that was about to fall. He asked the corporal why he wouldn't help his men and it offended the man. He then unbuttoned his overcoat and showed his uniform to the men. This was a good lesson for the corporal and to us as well. We will gain more respect by helping others, and not just barking orders at them. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We filled in the ending of the Revolutionary war on our timeline this week.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Geography:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">With the help of <a href="http://www.eduplace.com/kids/socsci/books/applications/imaps/maps/g5s_u4/index.html" target="_blank">this website </a>we found the following battle sites of American victories during the Revolutionary War:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Concord, NH</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Trenton, NY</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Saratoga, NY</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Valley Forge, PA {wasn't on the map}</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yorktown, VA {wasn't on the map}</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We also looked in our book at what America looked like back then and learned that the battles were fought in the NE because that's where the colonies were, the rest was unclaimed land. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Science:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thomas made a paper cone and experimented with sound. He spoke through the cone, and listened to the cone. We found that the cone channeled the noises. Boots cupped his hand around his ear and found that he could hear better when the noises were channeled with his <span style="font-size: large;">hand</span>. We read about sound, the importance of our ears, and the structure of the ear.</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We also talked about the sense of taste. Your nose and your tongue work together to help you taste your food. We tried a little experiment with apples and cinnamon. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">First, the boys tasted the apple. Their response: "it taste like an apple".</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Next, the boys sniffed some cinnamon and then tasted the apple. Their response: "the apple taste really sweet."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last, the boys held their nose shut {like when you have a stuffy nose} and tasted the apple. Their response: "we cant taste, can we smell the cinnamon again and then eat the apple."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Storytime:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We started a new genre this week: HUMOR.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The book we are reading for the next 20 days is Mr. Popper's Penguins. To teach "humor" we wrote alliterations with the boys names. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sorry its sideways............</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> We also talked about cause and effect after reading one day. We learned that for everything that happens {cause}, something else will happen because of that {effect}. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> We talked about the Godly character trait JOY and found different instances in the book where the characters showed joy. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">1.Being nice to the penguin</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">2.Being happy with the penguin</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Other pieces of our week:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="font-size: large;">I finally ordered the M<span style="font-size: large;">elissa and Doug <span style="font-size: large;">play money set I had<span style="font-size: large;"> been wanting for our <a href="http://crosschristianacadamy.blogspot.com/p/the-prize-shop.html" target="_blank">school stor<span style="font-size: large;">e<span style="font-size: large;">.</span></span></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: large;">I had $10 of Amazon gift car<span style="font-size: large;">ds from Swagbucks, <span style="font-size: large;">the <span style="font-size: large;">money set was on sale, and I have Amazon Prime so I ended up paying less th<span style="font-size: large;">an $5 total. The boys LOVE the money. They li<span style="font-size: large;">ke the new money better b<span style="font-size: large;">ecause its bigger.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We finished White Fang his week, and picked out a new book, Ferret in the Bedroom, Lizards in the Fridge. We read one chapter of the new book and the boys are already a little confused, since the setting is in a public school and the kids are in 6th grade. I had to try to explain:homeroom, running for class president, and locker rooms.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My boys loved White Fang, and I'm expecting that they will want me to read it to them again.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Abeka</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Science: We learned more about beavers and the special way God made them.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Health: We talked about staying safe on the streets by following signs, traffic laws, also bicycle, walking and car safety.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">History: We talked more about America's songs, and listened to them on YouTube. We also talked about "the people who built America<span style="font-size: large;">"</span>. This was a great review for the boys and they loved seeing pictures of the people in England. I was really happy that they remembered the stories of the pilgrims being caught by King James on their way to Holland. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Thomas:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thomas read about lots of animals this week in his Emerging Reader book. This past summer<span style="font-size: large;">,</span>at my dad's, we kept finding these nasty, huge green caterpillar looking things on my dads tomato plants. Thomas read about those this week, and we found out that they turn into hawkmoths. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He started xtramath this week, thanks to a blogger friend for sharing this site with us. His "score" started out at 30 and he ended the week at 39. Thomas is good with his math facts, he's just not super fast. He is still working on his Horizons 2nd grade math and is moving right along.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">No drawing this week.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Nathaniel:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nathaniel also started xtramath. His score was a 4 in the beginning and he ended the week with a 7. He is like me and doesn't like to be "timed". For both boys, I had to hide the teacher with my hand when they played "race the teacher". </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He worked on his Horizons K math and his phonics this week, and even read a few readers.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We also have a friend, Nathanael, who will coming over and doing school with us on Wednesdays until the end of the school year. This week was his first Wednesday and I think he enjoyed being with the boys. If you would, keep his family in prayer, he lost his mother almost a month ago. He is 7, and his sister 9. </span></span>Crystal Crosshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02759109209300915575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269640971332815107.post-19499144864195649862013-02-15T13:01:00.000-08:002013-08-12T05:27:11.451-07:00unit 24 review {BLHFHG}<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Bible:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Bible verses this week were reviews of the past few weeks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On Friday, we read about Saul trying to kill David, yet David sparing Saul's life. David trusted God to guide him and didnt listen to his men.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We made a desert, a crag {a steep, rough rock}, and a cave just like the story, but in the picture its a little hard to tell the dimensions. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">History:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The week started with reading a letter written at the time of the Revolution from little Tabitha, to her cousin John. John had been visiting several months before and she was "filling him in" on the latest news. She told him about George Washington visiting Mistress Betsey Ross, and asking her to stitch together a new flag to represent all the colonies. Tabitha was a lonely little girl, and Mistress Ross was a widow so the two were very kind to one another. Tabitha told John in the letter about Mr. Washington drawing a 6 pointed star, and how that Mistress Ross designed a flag that would be adopted by congress. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She described the flag:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*it had 13 stripes {of red and white}</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*it had 13 stars </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*the 13 in stars and stripes represented the 13 colonies </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*red=bravery</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*white=purity</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*blue=justice</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The boys made edible flags. They enjoyed preparing the icing {butter, salt, vanilla, and powdered sugar}, desigining the flags, and mostly eating them!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We also read about a little girl named Prudence. She worked hard stitching a little flag of her own just like the one that Betsey Ross designed. Her neighbor, William, heard that the Redcoats were coming. Her mother was sick, and too weak to hide the silver. When the Redcoats did come, William and Prudence, were brave and went to face them with a drum and the flag that Prudence had made. The General for the Redcoats spoke kindly to the children, and ordered his troops to keep marching. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The boys practiced military drills, and enjoyed every minute of it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Science:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In Tabitha's letter she reminded John of the apple tress, and she even gathered some to send to him. We did an experiment to see what foods were made mostly of water and what food was made of mostly fat.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Unit 23 Beyond Little Hearts For His Glory {+ extras}</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Bible Verse:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i>A soft answer turneth away wrath:</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i>but grievous words stir up anger. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i>Proverbs 15:1 </i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We talked about how situations can change by the tone of our voice. We also read about Abram and Lot in Genesis. Abram gave lot the first choice of land to stop the arguing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">History: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We started out the week by reading about a little boy named Eli. Eli was a young boy who lived in the wilderness by the Blue Ridge Mountains. A young surveyor, named George, came by to spend the night. The Indians were mad about their land being surveyed and surrounded Eli's house with plans to burn the cabin. Eli bravely and approached the Indians outside {and spoke softly} and showed them a little pair of moccasins that belonged to the Chief's daughter. Eli's mother had taken care of the little Indian girl when she strayed away from her camp. Years later, Eli found out that the surveyor, George, was actually General George Washington. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The next story we read was about a little girl named Patience Arnold. She was left in charge of the barn door key by her mother. She was busy making her sampler, but longed to play outside. She was obedient and worked hard on her work. While working, some soldiers came and demanded the key of the little girl. She spoke softly, but refused to give them the key. The soldiers tore the house apart looking for the key and they also trampled in her mother's herb garden.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Geography:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We learned about the British system of describing land and how it was used to outline a person's property. We made our own outline of our property.</span><br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We also cut out a 3 foot piece of yarn which equaled a "chain length". We measured our kitchen by the yarn</span>. </div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> The boys also enjoyed acting out an Indian war dance followed by an Indian welcome dance.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In our Bible reading, we learned about measuring.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Length means how long something is. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Breadth means how wide something is.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Thomas measured our dinning room by his own feet. Next we drew a scale of our room.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-size: large;">*We had a very slow week this week, and <span style="font-size: large;">didn't</span> get a whole lot done, and <span style="font-size: large;">didn't</span> go in depth like we normally do. I also have a prayer request, we had a <span style="font-size: large;">friend {wife, and mother of 2 young children<span style="font-size: large;">} who went on to her Heavenly home this week, please keep her famil<span style="font-size: large;">y and friends<span style="font-size: large;"> in <span style="font-size: large;">prayer, the Hall family</span></span></span></span></span></span></span>*</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Bible Verse:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. </span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">2 Corinthians 9:7 </span></i></span> </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We talked about being cheerful givers. We remembered times that we have given things or our time or talent cheerfully, as well as times we gave grudgingly. We know that God loves a cheerful giver, so we are going to try our best to give more cheerfully. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">History:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We read about Benjamin Franklin and learned that he was a very kind man and a cheerful giver. He enjoyed sharing his inventions with the people of Philadelphia. He invented the lightening rod and he even made an iron stove for a family that needed to stay warm in the winter.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We also learned of Deacon Drowne, a <span style="font-size: large;">copper smith</span> in Boston. The children {one was Samuel Adams} loved to stop by and see his creations. One favorite was a large copper grasshopper. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Peter Faneuil, was also a very giving man. He gave the city of Boston a new public hall. We searched youtube for videos of Faneuil Hall and found a few that were interesting. The grasshopper that Deacon Drowne made was placed as a <span style="font-size: large;">weather vane</span> on top of the new market. {We <span style="font-size: large;">didn't</span> get to make the replica of Faneuil Hall, and we hope to get to that next week}.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Science:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We <span style="font-size: large;">learned</span> about the lightening rod and about lightening and how to count how many miles away the storm is by counting the seconds after the lightening strikes until the thunder sounds.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We studied insects in our science book. We learned that they have 3 main body parts: the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. We made some homemade <span style="font-size: large;">peanut butter</span> <span style="font-size: large;">play dough</span>, and turned it into grasshoppers. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Geography:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We found some things on a map:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pennsylvania</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Philadelphia</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">the Atlantic Ocean</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Lake Erie</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pittsburgh</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Storytime:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We <span style="font-size: large;">didn't</span> read too much from our nonfiction book If You Lived 100 Years Ago. We will make the bubble map next week, since I think my boys would enjoy that.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We finished Lisa and the Drainpipe Prayer. And we read an Amelia Bedelia book. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Abeka:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Science: We talked about having good hygeine, and keeping our skin and teeth clean. We also talked about getting enough exercise, sunlight, and rest.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Health: We talked about our nose and how our nose is used for smelling, and the different parts of our nose. We talked about getting enough vitamin C and drinking lots of liquids to prevent colds. We also talked about the importance of brushing our teeth and going to the dentist. We talked about our household chores and why we should keep our house "straightened". We also talked about what type of clothes we wear in each season.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Our America: We reviewed the 4 states that touch our state {North Carolina}. I quizzed the boys on facts about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and they did really well. We read about Memorial Day and Flag day. We also read about Betsy Ross, and learned more about the American Flag. We read about the Fourth of July, the Liberty Bell, and Labor Day.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Bible:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our Bible verse this week was Philipians 4:8</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We talked about keeping our minds thinking on the positive things of life {as the verse says things that are: honest,just,pure, lovely, and of good report}. We talked about how our minds set our moods so if we think on the good things, we'll have better attitudes and better days. Our minds records the things we read, watch, and hear so we need to be careful of what we do because we dont want to record ungodly things. If we read the Bible, and listen to the messages {which we try when we can}, we will have good recordings in our minds. We also talked about having a conscience and knowing what was right and wrong. And, of course, Thomas got confused and asked how people were sometimes knocked unconscious. =) After a few sentences, he understood the difference. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">History:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We read about the French settlers going to Detroit. We read a story about a little French girl {Marie} and her journey to Detroit with her baby doll, Lady Claire. She met lots of Indians and even let them hold her doll. One Indian lady even made her a pair of tiny baby sized moccasins for her dolly. The settlers traveled in canoes so the boys made their own canoes out of flour and water. {We didnt have toothpicks}.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We traced the Mississippi River with our fingers,and found Detroit on the map. We pointed out and talked about the Great Lakes. As the settlers came to Fort Detroit, a rainbow appeared in the sky. They took it as a good sign.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Health:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We talked about taking baths and showers. And talked about making sure we wash every inch of our bodies and keeping clean {and wearing deodorant for Thomas}. We talked about bad habits such as biting fingernails {this was a good one for Boots, his poor nails are really small from biting}. We also talked about our eyes and our ears. We went over again the different parts of our eyes and what each does, and the same for our ears. We also talked about using our eyes and ears for God.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Science:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">{Beyond Science}</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Marie was in the woods she seen a hummingbird sipping nectar from a flower. We read about different kinds of birds and how they each have unique beaks for the type of food they eat. I set out different kinds of food and different kinds of "beaks" for the boys to test out and decide what beak was best for getting what type of food. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Birds:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">woodpecker: tweezers~rice</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">sparrow: clothespin~popcorn seeds</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">pelican: fork~marshmallows in water </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">hummingbird:eye dropper~ yellow water</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once all were tested they laid down the "beak" by the food they thought it was easiest to get, and they were exactly right!! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> We talked about teeth. We learned about how babies dont {usually} have teeth when they are born and they </span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">only </span></span>need milk to drink. Toddlers have 20 teeth, and full grown adults have 28-32 teeth. We talked about baby teeth falling out for stronger teeth. Also, we learned that teeth are stronger than bones. Our teeth have different jobs and are all important.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My America:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We talked about American freedoms such as the freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the freedom of religion . We also talked about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We also reviewed the states that are around our state.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Storytime:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We started our nonfiction book this week, If You Lived 100 Years Ago. They boys are enjoying reading about how people lived in New York 100 years ago. They are learning about how the rich lived vs. the poor and middle class. On Friday, we acted out parts of the book that we've read so far, and the boys had a good time and lots of laughs.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We also started another book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lisa-Drainpipe-Prayer-Louise-DeMott/dp/B00ABTFY10/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1359147765&sr=1-1&keywords=Lisa+and+the+drainpipe+prayer" target="_blank">Lisa and the Drainpipe Prayer</a>. The chapters are longer in this book, so we'll finish it next week.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nathaniel:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He's still moving right along in math and phonics. He also read to me a book on my Kindle Fire called I Love Boots. I picked this book for him because he LOVES Boots~thus his nickname: Boots. He had a few word problems in math this week, and also worked on liquid measurement, time and couting by two's. He finished lesson 3 of the Bunny Lesson.</span></span><br />
