School Days

Our Week
March 14-18

Garret - LHTH Unit 24
This week Garret...
...had fun with the letter "T".  Gluing pasta on it, tiptoe-ing on it and writing it in pudding were the favs.
  
...loved the "Touch your toes, Twist and turn" part of the action rhyme. 

...learned about Jesus healing a blind man.  Here he is using his sense of touch to figure out what's in the pillow case.

...learned about Jesus feeding the 5000.  We have 5 pieces of bread, too, but no matter how many ways we divide them...we still just have 5.  It was a miracle!!
...cut and pasted brown things on our color sheet.  (Brown like bread.)

...learned about Jesus walking on water, and had FUN acting it out!  With real water, and his finger guy. :)




...learned about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead!

...finished Lesson 3 of The Reading Lesson.
...and, loved singing along with, "Jesus asked his disciples, 'Who do you say I am?'  Peter said, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!'"

Allison - Beyond Unit 1
This week, Allison...
...decided poetry was her favorite subject! :)  She loved guessing the name of the poem and putting it together when I cut it apart.

...copied her poem BEAUTIFULLY!


...decided that maybe history was her favorite subject, too, and loved reading about Pedro and Catalina.
...had fun mapping the continents on our world.

...started her very own timeline.
...learned in science how ocean currents help move ships.

...learned in science how God created ocean animals, like whales, with blubber to keep them warm in COLD water.


...used math to find the missing number of Jelly Beans in the covered bowl.

...learned that a biography tells us the story of a character, and put together a bag of important objects to teach me about her.  Her 5 were...1)Her Bible - because she loves the Lord.  2)Her copywork notebook - because she loves copying poetry now.  3)A book - because she loves to read.  4)A VBS picture frame - because she loves VBS.  5)Go Fish - because she loves to play games with her family.

...and, made a shield with symbols reminding her of Psalm 18 which tells us that we can trust the Lord, our rock & our fortress.


Grant - CTC Unit 28
This week Grant...
...started reading the Gospel of John.
...thought it was really neat that he and Garret were both studying the beginning of Jesus' ministry and miracles.
...enjoying "Traveling the Way" with Cleon and Absolom's family as they learn of Jesus Christ and decide if they will follow Him.
...multiplied and divided decimals in math.
...is reading Gentle Ben.
...learned about the importance of washing hands to prevent germs from spreading, and experimented with 2 different apples.  One was cut and rubbed with dirty hands, the other was washed, cut and cleaned with rubbing alcohol.

I love the pictures. Your children are just beautiful! I linked to your blog through the message board, as I am prayerfully considering doing HOD. Just not sure which one. Pray for me! : )

Kathleen- what a joy to read about your week!! Garret & our Kayla are on the same week, so it is so much fun to see the similarities & how much fun both of them are having! :)
I also loved the peek into Allison's week! How exciting for her to start Beyond- she is doing so well. This makes me so anxious to start Beyond, but we will enjoy our last couple months in LHFHG and take the summer off and then enjoy! I love being able to see how you are starting and what you are using (notebook, etc.). She is such a cutie- if we lived closer, I think she would be fast friends with our girls!
And Grant looks like he is doing so well too! :)
Thanks for sharing!
