Our Fourth Week

We have had a sad week because Bro. Don had a bicycle crash and has been in the hospital. We went to visit his family in the waiting room. They were very sad. We prayed for him all week. I hope that he feels better soon.

We learned about the sense of touch this week. Did you know that there are over 10,000 hair follicles on your head? That is awesome. We are also making a book about touch and feel.  We finished our Lewis and Clark unit, and Mommy said we are going to learn about Davy Crockett next. I had no strikes all week, and Mamaw gave me a makeup set! It was cool.

Max finished learning all his numbers, and he finished his first adding worksheet on Thursday.  He says he loves it. He was so excited that he did another one! Nina has started learning about shapes, she thinks she is in school too.

  

    

the mysterious day

I got a new haircut! I wanted it cut really short, but Mommy wanted it long. And I got bangs.


I have been learning about compound subjects, and prepositional phrases. Yesterday we reviewed the
eye, then today we learned about taste buds. Taste buds taste sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. We're going to cook tomorrow with Mommy. I have my own apron to wear. We have been reading some more of Treasure Island, and Jim and his friends just left with the pirates to find the treasure.  I think Long Jon Silver is bad, but I don't know.  We also learned some more about Lewis and Clark, they took a boat up the Missouri River, and they made friends with the Native Americans and stayed with them for the winter. Yesterday we learned about Helen Keller she was a blind and deaf women. She got really sick when she was little and had a fever for a long time. When she woke up, she was deaf and blind. It was sad. We watched a movie about it that was really good.


                                           THE END

Day 8

First we learned about Moses and God spoke to him through the burning bush, then we learned about the object of a prepositional phrase. That was hard. I had to draw a line through the noun and circle the preposition. Then I had to do lots of adding problems.  It was really really hard. Then we learned some more about Lewis and Clark  and the volunteers in the Corps of Discovery. His dog Seaman was a volunteer and so was Sacagewea. She translated for them so they could talk to the native americans. Then we went to the library and got books about their expedition and about the human eye. Then we played in the fountains.  It was hot, so that was a lot of fun.

Day 3 Expedition We are explorers

Today we learned about Lewis and Clark they crossed the Mississipp River and they were explorers. We took a quiz on the computer about the people and things they took along with them. We were explorers ourselves, we went to church and explored the things that were there. We also used our five senses. We heard birds and crickets and rustlings of the leaves. We saw a lot of baby caterpillars in a web in a tree, a ladybug, and a roly poly bug. We felt some rocks. Some of them were smooth and some were bumpy. We also felt the trees and leaves. Max collected samples of some of the things we saw. And after that we went back home and we did our spelling and math and english. We are making cards for people on our prayer list, and a book about Lewis and Clark.

Today I learned that Lewis and Clark took beef and vegetable soup, rifles, and flannel shirts on their expedition.


My favorite part was drawing and coloring pages for my book about Lewis and Clark.


I hope we read more of Treasure Island tomorrow.

Hard But Fun Day 2

We  did  are  bible  story  about  a  boy  outside,  selling  people  vegetables,  we  learned about sowing the seed of God. Then we talked about five senses, and we learned about Lewis and Clark. They crossed the Mississippi River, but first they went to see the president, and he told them to explore the new land. We did spelling and we had recess and lunch at church, then we came back. We learned about using our sense of seeing to know what a sign means. Then we did seat work, and read some more of Treasure Island, and we also made a craft of symbols. Then the day was over. It was pretty fun, but hard.
