Ryder looked at pictures of nature in black and white and pictures of nature in color! He liked the colored pictures a lot better! He is thankful that God created a world with beautiful colors! We read some Bible verses about God creating the world. And we reviewed all of our special words to remember from all of the past units!

The boys made a paper rainbow!

 We also talked about color blending. We learned the primary colors are red, blue, and yellow. Ryder used paint to mix the primary colors and make more colors!

He learned that blue and yellow make green, red and blue make purple, and red and yellow make orange!

This week the boys listened to Ravel: Habanera this week.

My Father's World Kindergarten was so much fun! I can't believe it is over! Homeschool has been so rewarding and I am so thankful that God has called me to do this. Looking back at unit 1, Ryder has grown so much! Ryder will have Kindergarten graduation in a few weeks. Until then he will be working on his Math lessons and All About Reading Level 2! We will still work on things a few days a week over the summer as well. And then in August he will begin My Father's World 1st grade curriculum!

PHONICS

  BIBLE/SCIENCE

For Bible, we learned about God's people in the Old Testament complaining about having no food to eat. Also, we studied about Paul and Silas and how when they were in prison they did not complain, but prayed and sang hymns.

We learned about crows, pigeons, and hummingbirds. Specifically that each one flap their wings a different number of times per second. Crows twice a second, pigeons three times a second, and hummingbirds 70 times a second! Very fast! And we practiced to see if we could flap our arms 70 times in one second.

The boys tried lemons. They didn't like them, but didn't complain about their snack. So, then I took the lemons and made lemonade and they saw what happened when they are thankful and don't complain!

 We learned that a mother quail lays 10-15 eggs in her nest. The eggs are light brown with dark brown splotches and are 1" long. We made our own quail eggs out of oats and peanut butter. Then we compared them to chicken eggs!

 We made a bird feeder out of popcorn and string!

 MUSIC

This week the boys listened to Saint-Saens: Carnival of the Animals and pretended to be birds.
