Week 15

We missed a lot of kids this week. We are praying for you and hope you are better soon. Hoping we will all see you next week.

I am thankful that a lot of the kids used KWO in preparing their Presentation. We learned about different inventors and we discussed how most of the inventors persevere with their invention and did not stop because of failure.  It was a good encouragement for everybody, including me.  Next Week's Presentation: Bible Passage: Memorize and Recite a Bible Passage.  I told the kids that it would be great if it is a passage, not just a verse.  Thank you for helping them prepare every week.

New Grammar
English: Song - CCC NoGreaterJoy5
We learned to conjugate the verb write.  We reviewed the five verb principal parts with our hands (a quick hint, the ring finger is the present participle [verb+ing]).

Science: Song - CCC NoGreaterJoy5
We learned about some parts of the atom. I briefly discussed the different parts.  Some parts went way over their head, but it is okay, they will eventually learn it. To learn more about atoms, check this and this out.

Math: Song - CCC NoGreaterJoy5
We learned metric measurements and we also learned some application.  Keep practicing at home.

History: Song - CC CD
Julia taught the History sentence and I briefly discussed Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders. Check this out to learn more.  You can also check this out.

Latin: Song - Opening Ceremony Song
We learned the first part of John 1:3.  As we are learning the verses, we are also learning the word translation.  Keep practicing at home.

Timeline: Song - CC CD
We went over the Timeline a few times and we went back and reviewed the different time periods and what comes after it.

Geography: Song - CCC NoGreaterJoy5
This week's geography is easy with an acronym of HOMES-NF. I gave them a hint Lake Superior is above since it is superior. The other lakes are close to where the state (or province) are. 

Review
We were able to review the past five weeks and this week's lesson.  The kids are doing really well.  Keep up the good work. The kids seems to be stumbling over the definition of atomic number and element.  And they seem to be struggling a little bit with dates in our History sentences. Focus on them during your review time at home.


Fine Arts
We learned about Georgia O'Keeffe and we made big flower painting on canvas.  It turned out really well.  See the photos below.  Next week's art, please bring paintbrushes and other coloring materials as well.

Science Experiment
We had a great time with Mr. Reeser.  He made us think through a lot of things and maybe the kids would like to expand the experiment at home.  Have fun!

See you all next week!
