For our English time we read My M Sound Box by Jane Belk Moncure, The Mitten adapted by Jan Brett, Mama for Mayor by Jan and Mike Berenstain, Muncha! Muncha! Muncha! by Candace Fleming and G. Brian Karas, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff and Clifford's Manners by Norman Bridwell. Our poem for the week was "I see the Moon". I believe the author is unknown.
I see the moon
and the moon sees me.
God bless the moon
and God bless me.
When I see the moon
and the stars so bright,
I thank the Lord
for day and night.
For song time we sang She'll be Comin' Round the Mountain and Three Blind Mice.
For our Bible time we read about Moses. We read a fair amount about him. We started with when he was a baby. We also did his time with Pharaoh and the plagues. We ended with the crossing of the Red Sea. Our verse for the week was Colossians 3:2 "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."
For our time in math we worked on money. We went over the different coins we use and their respective values. We have also been doing the "Month Macarena" during our calendar time. Both A and E know the order of the months due to singing this song. A special thanks goes to Uncle Darren for teaching us this song and our "Days of the Week" song.
For science we spent a lot of time reading about Mars. Some books A and E really enjoyed were Mars by Lincoln James and another book entitled Mars by Thomas Adamson. A book that A really enjoyed reading was called Slow Down for Manatees by Jim Arnosky. She asked so many questions. We are going to Florida to visit some family in a few weeks. I am hoping we might be able to see one while we are there since she is really interested in them. We also looked at some pictures with a muskrat, moose, marigold, and mockingbird.
This week we didn't do that great of a job on social studies. We did try and practice using good manners which really doesn't belong any where in particular!
