WEEK 20

BIBLE

We continued our Matthew study this week and read some more in chapter 8.

LANGUAGE ARTS

Ryder did Spelling Lesson 20 and got a 16/16 on his spelling test.

They both did handwriting.

Ryder did lesson 27-29 this week in English.

Mercer did Lesson 40-41 in All About Reading Level 1.

Ryder had reading time every day. He started reading the book "Encyclopedia Brown: Boy Detective."

For read aloud time we read chapters 9-11 in "Bash and the Chicken Coop Caper."

 

 

GEOGRAPHY

This week we finished up our study of Brazil. We read about Brazil in "Children's Atlas of God's World" and we looked at different maps of South America.

 

SCIENCE

We read several read-aloud books about the rainforest. We read about the different colors of the rainforest, water birds, and rain forest hunters in our "Living World Encyclopedia." Also, we did an experiment on bird's feathers. We learned their feathers are covered in oil and repel water. So we took 2 paper feathers and covered the right one in oil. Then we sprinkled water on each feather. The feather without the oil soaked up the water. The feather with the oil repelled the water!

MATH

Mercer did lessons 77-80 in Horizons Math. Ryder did lessons 42-45 in Teaching Textbooks.

 

CO-OP

Thursday we went to the zoo with all our friends to see the Primates! And they had a South American snack! Butter cookies with strawberry icing, pineapple, and a pineapple drink.
