The letter X, how eXciting you are! We didn't do a theme this week since the letter X is so unusual in its use. Our vocab words were: x ray, fox, box, and ox. Our poem for the week was Extra Special X by Katrina Lybbert:
Excellent, exciting letter X!
So extra special is letter X.
Fox, box, mix, wax,
Phlox, ox, six, tax.
Always an adventure to explore,
With letter X, which we adore!
The books we enjoyed this week were: Hattie and the Fox by Mem Fox, The Crayon Box that talked by Shane DeRolf, Six Little Chicks by Jez Alborough and My X,Y,Z Sound Box by Jane Belk Moncure.
For our Bible time we did Genesis 16:13 "You are the God who sees".
In science time we looked at phlox and fox.
For our art project this week we took a large letter X and colored and decorated it.
As I said in the beginning we didn't do to much with the letter X, but we still enjoyed the sound this letter makes and how unusual it is in the English language!

Week 23: The Letter W
Just a few more weeks till we have gone through the alphabet! Our twenty third week was looking at the letter W. Our theme for the week was wind. We talked about movement and how we can see it move objects and feel the effects on our skin. Our vocab words were: watch, wall, wish, walk, and window. Our poem for the week was:
When the wind is in the east,
'Tis neither good for man nor beast;
When the wind is in the north,
The skilful Asher goes forth;
When the wind is in the south,
It blows the bait in the fishes' mouth;
When the wind is in the west,
Then 'tis at the very best.
Our books for the week were: Baby Whales Journey by Jonathan London, The Wind Blew by Pat Hutchins, and I Went Walking by Sue Williams.
For our Bible time we read about Jesus Walking on the Water and our verse was from Colossians 3:16 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly".
For math we talked about the days of the week. We sang the days of the week song to the Adams family theme song. We also read A Week by Patricia J. Murphy.
For science we looked at a woodpecker, watsonia (flower), wolf, warthog, and walrus. We read about Whales by Carol Lindeen. We also read about winter with Let's Look at Winter
by Sarah Schuette.
We had some nice weather this week so we went to walk in the woods too! We were able to enjoy the autumn leaves and beautiful colors.

Week 22: The Letter V
For the letter V our theme was vegetables. We had fun talking about veggies and we got out our plastic food supply to sort out the food into the different groups: veggies, fruit, dairy and meats. We enjoyed talking about the different names of the veggies and how different they all looked. Our vocab words for the week were: vase, violin, vacuum, vest and van. I was also able to pull out my violin and play some music for the girls. I found two great poems for the week. The first was The Letter V by Katrina Lybbert:
The letter V, the letter V,
How I love the letter V.
Violin, vegetable, volcano, van.
I can say V words,
Now see if you can!
The second poem was Healthy Vegetables be Jean Warren:
I ate a red tomato,
The biggest I have seen.
I ate a long zucchini,
It was the color green.
I ate some yellow corn
That was sweet as sweet could be.
When I eat my colors,
I know I'm healthy!
Our books for the week were: Victoria's vacation and the Letter V by Cynthia Klingel and Robert Noyed, My "V" Sound Box by Jane Belk Moncure, How I Spent My Summer Vacation by Mark Teague, The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams.
Our Bible verse was from Romans 10: 13 "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
In our math time we talked about things that were vertical and the color violet.
In science time we looked at vultures, violets, vampire bats. We enjoyed reading about volcanoes. Two books that were enjoyable were: Volcanoes: Mountains that Blow their Tops by Nicholas Nirgiotis and Volcanos by Rochelle Baltzer.
