WEEK 6

BIBLE/HISTORY

The memory verse for this week was "Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones." Proverbs 16:24. Ryder practiced handwriting by writing out the Bible verse and he went over the verse daily. Each morning we also did a devotional from "My Big Book of 5-minute Devotionals." We continued our daily review of the character trait enthusiasm. On Monday, I read a history story about Teddy Roosevelt that related to enthusiasm.

 We also talked about our family history and we hung a family picture from this year on our timeline.

 READING/LANGUAGE ARTS

Ryder did Lesson 7 through 9 in All About Reading Level 3. He also had several handwriting and phonics worksheets. He did All About Spelling Level 1 Lesson 3 and First Language Lessons Level 1 Lessons 6 through 9.

 MATH

Ryder finished Lessons 15 through 18 in Horizons Math 1.

 

SCIENCE
The topic was trees again this week. We read in our Usborne Science "Science with Plants" book and the boys did tree bark rubbing. 

 ART

This week Ryder colored "Dynamism of Light Forms in Space" by Gino Severini. He learned that the artist wanted to celebrate the movement and energy of modern life so he used a jumble of shapes, colors and textures to make a bright, busy patchwork. Ryder filled shapes with different colors and patterns.

 RENEWED MOMS

Here is a picture that Ryder's science teacher sent me of him and Cooper at Renewed Moms on Thursday! They learned about toucans this week and had a fun project!

 PRESCHOOL for MERCER

This week Mercer did the letter F. He also did really well participating and answering questions during our Bible study each morning.
