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.
