WEEK 14

BIBLE/HISTORY

The memory verse for this week was "He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done. Proverbs 19:17. 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." On Monday we read a history story about George Washington Carver to go along with the character trait we are studying this week. The rest of the week we reviewed the definition of patience. We also learned about the books of the Bible 1 Samuel through 2 Kings.

 READING/LANGUAGE ARTS

Ryder did Lesson 24-26 in All About Reading Level 3. He also had several handwriting and phonics worksheets. He did First Language Lessons Level 1 Lessons 44 through 49. He continued with reading a story from his Bible Reader about day 6 and 7 of creation and illustrating it too. We also read the story about the Garden of Eden. I read the story and he retold the story to me. He also did All About Spelling Level 1 Lesson 9 and 10.

 MATH

Ryder finished Lessons 49 through 54 in Horizons Math 1. He also got a 40/41 on Test #5!

 SCIENCE
The topic was "Volcanoes." We read the Usborne book: Things Outdoors and watched a Magic School Bus video.

 ART

This week Ryder studied the painting "Rhinoceros" by Albrecht Durer. This odd-looking rhinoceros was drawn 500 years ago. The artist had never seen a rhino - only read about them. In the past, pictures were often printed in black and white, and then colored by hand. Ryder used his imagination to color two rhinoceroses.

This week Mercer did the letter N.
