D made a neat map of Jerusalem in Solomon's time to go with the Bible reading for today (I Chron. 29:10-20) which was about David thanking God. For geography he learned about the compass rose - specifically NE, SE, NW, SW directions. After drawing the map I asked him which direction he would head if he were to go to...the temple, house, palace, etc.
He is enjoying listening to The Cricket in Times Square and I'm enjoying it, too. I haven't read ahead...yet. Although Saturday I'm walking 6 miles (training for the half-marathon in a few months) so I may pick it up and read the rest of it. ;o)
This is the pic D drew to go with his poem for Unit 13 - Scatter & Plough - about God's goodness in the seasons, weather for crops to grow, etc. He drew tall corn stalks (left side of pic), a cute green tractor and the rain coming down. I love watching what he comes up with for these drawings!
The last day of the unit he always has a grammar lesson. Today it was reviewing nouns and learning about Proper names (nouns). He came up with a telling sentence for each person in our family. He then picked one to copy. He chose to copy C's sentence which was "C fills her diaper." After he copied it, I had him take a marker and circle the proper nouns and underline the regular nouns. He understood.Co-op begins Monday and the kids are excited to see their friends!
