WEEK 13

BIBLE/HISTORY

The memory verse for this week was "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones." Proverbs 14:30 Ryder practiced handwriting by writing out the Bible verse and he went over the verse daily. We also did one devotional from "My Big Book of 5-minute Devotionals." We started a new character trait that we will be learning and reviewing for the next 4 weeks. This month we are focusing on patience. On Monday, the boys watched a nature story about the monarch butterfly and did a coloring sheet. The rest of the week we reviewed the definition of patience. We also learned about the books of the Bible Deuteronomy through Ruth.

 READING/LANGUAGE ARTS

Ryder did Lesson 23 in All About Reading Level 3. He also had several handwriting and phonics worksheets. He did First Language Lessons Level 1 Lessons 39 through 43. He continued with reading a story from his Bible Reader about day 3, 4, and 5 of creation and illustrating it too. He also did All About Spelling Level 1 Lesson 8.

 MATH

Ryder finished Lessons 45 through 48 in Horizons Math 1.

 SCIENCE
The topic was "The Sun and Moon." We read the Usborne book: Things Outdoors and read two read-aloud books.

 ART

This week Ryder studied the painting "Mystical Head - Raven's Wing" by Alexej Jawlensky. The artist created a whole series of heads using different colors. The bold patches of color make this face look striking and strange. Ryder created his own faces. He colored two using sunny yellows, oranges, and reds for a warm, bright feel. And he colored two using blues and purples for a colder, darker look.

This week Mercer did the letter M.
