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.

Learning about the eye

Today we heard another bible story about Jesus healing a blind man.  He was blind when he was born so he never saw colors or trees or anything. Jesus used spit and dirt and he told him to go wash in the river, and he could see. We are learning more about prepositions, and we found them in a story. We have a lot more spelling words this week, about the eye.  We learned more parts of the eye today, they are the lens, the cornea, and the sclera.  We watched a video about a kid cutting a cow's eye. (here) It was cool.  We got to hear two more chapters of Treasure Island, it is getting creepy, but I like it. At quiet time we played with the doll house again, and I'm going to have a swimming lesson today. I can't wait.

Monday, a new week

Today our bible lesson was about Jesus making a blind man see, and the man said the trees look like men. So, today we started learning about the eye. We learned about the pupil, the iris, the retina and the optic nerve. We used Max's binoculars to see how the retina focuses. We also watched a video on the computer (here), and it showed us how many little parts are in our eye. I think it is millions. Kailey thought the video was gross because it showed a police man with no skin. We also learned about prepositional phrases, then we did math. During quiet time, we got to play with the new doll house. It is fun.
