WEEK 22

BIBLE

We continued our Matthew study this week and read some more in chapter 9. We also read about Romania in "Window on the World" and the boys colored their Norway John 3:16 sheet.

LANGUAGE ARTS

Ryder did Spelling Lesson 22 and got a 16/16 on his spelling test.

They both did handwriting.

Ryder did lesson 31-33 this week in English.

Mercer did Lesson 44-46 in All About Reading Level 1.

Ryder had reading time every day. He finished reading the book "Who Was Christopher Columbus?" and started reading "Stone Fox."

For read aloud time we read chapters 16-19 in "Bash and the Chicken Coop Caper."

 

GEOGRAPHY

This week we studied Norway. We located it on our map, labeled a map with bodies of water, surrounding countries, and other European countries, read about Europe and Norway in "Children's Atlas of God's World" and read about Europe and looked at different maps of Europe in our classroom atlas. The geography-themed vocabulary words that Ryder learned about this week were fjord and promontory.

MATH

Mercer did lessons 85-88 in Horizons Math. Ryder did lessons 50-53 in Teaching Textbooks.

 

MUSIC

We listened to the songs "Row, Row" and "Little Frogs" on our WeeSing CD.

 

CO-OP

For geography the kids studied Scotland and made the flag out of tissue paper. They also did an art project making the "plaid" pattern that most Scottish people wear as clothing fabric. For science, they each picked an animal they have studied so far this year and gave a speech on it. Mercer picked to talk about chimps and Ryder picked to talk about geckos.
