Counting down the weeks... stay strong so we can finish strong.
Fine Arts
We learned about Claude Debussy and his work, La Mer (The Sea). Our thanks to Mrs. Reeser and Mrs. Toy. If you want to learn more, check this out.
Presentation was part 2 of last week's. The kids showed us how to make cookies, peel an egg and make egg salad, take care of cows and learn about albino deer. Congratulations on a job well done. Next week's presentation is Recitation: Classic Poetry about America. Memorize and recite a classic poem about America. Enhance your recitation with expression and gestures.
New Grammar
English: Song - CCC NoGreaterJoy5
We reviewed the difference between a phrase and a clause and learned about one kind of clause - an independent clause.
Science: Song - CCC NoGreaterJoy5
I briefly explained the theory of uniformitarianism. If you want to read more about the theory and creation science, check this page out. I really loved how she explained it.
Timeline: Song - CC CD
We reviewed what was taught in the Opening Ceremony. We played what is before... ? to challenge their brain. Keep up the good work.
History: Song - CC CD
I briefly told them about Apollo 11 and the three astronauts who were in the mission Yes, there were three men... Michael Collins stayed inside the Columbia. We also discussed about NASA, the space race and JFK's 1961 goal of lunar landing, which was achieved before the turn of the decade. If you want to read more, check this out.
Latin: Song - Opening Ceremony Song
We translated the Latin verse to English. We were also able to review the past few weeks verses.

We learned the Associative Law of Addition and Multiplication. I reminded the kids to be thinking bout what they are saying because they know the memory work well. They sometimes might just say it out without thinking and thus confuse "plus" and "times".
We learned the different Territories and Terrains. Just a note that Alaska is part of the North West Coast because as we all know, Alaska is supposed to be in that area in the real map.
We focused our review on Geography. We drew all the physical features in a blank US map. Congratulations to the kids, they did really well. Make sure to keep practicing the trails and the canals where they struggle the most. I told the kids to bring color pencils, pencils and scissors next week. They should not have an excuse of "My mom/dad did not tell me." We were even able to review Week 1-21 of History and Science. The kids did a wonderful job. Keep up the good work!
Science Experiment was on data and probability. I cannot imagine that adding more blueberry can excite the kids so much. The kids worked by pairs and they did really well. If you want to replicate the experiment at home, check the Foundations Guide page 148.
Don't forget, Memory Masters Parent Proof is due next week. I hope the kids are practicing their memory work everyday. Remember, we want to finish strong!
Have a wonderful week... enjoy the snow!
Sincerely,
Zabrina
