WEEK 4

BIBLE/HISTORY

We finished up our the study of the character trait "Attentiveness." On Monday, I read the boys the history story again and they made deer with moveable ears. We reviewed the trait daily. We also continued the Proverbs study! Ryder's verse to memorize this week was all of Proverbs 9:10, "If you really want to become wise, you must begin by having respect for the Lord. To Know the Holy One is to gain understanding." Each morning we also did a devotional from "My Big Book of 5-minute Devotionals."

 READING/LANGUAGE ARTS

Ryder did Lesson 2-4 in All About Reading Level 3. He also had several handwriting and phonics worksheets. He started All About Spelling Level 1 and finished Lesson 1. And he also started First Language Lessons Level 1 and finished Lesson 1.

 MATH

Ryder finished Lessons 7 through 10 in Horizons Math 1. He also had his first test!

 SCIENCE
The topic this week was "How Flowers Grow." We read in our Usborne Science "Things Outdoors" book. We tried a science experiment (watching a seed grow), but it hasn't been very successful.

 After 4 days we did manage to see a shoot coming out of the bean.

 ART

This week Ryder colored "Water Lilies" by Claude Monet with colored pencils.

 P.E.
