Art and Science, week 13

Art: Snowmen and Winslow Homer

In art this week, students were finally allowed to pull out their water colors! They drew snowmen with pencils and colored them in with white crayons (a popular trick among children's art programs). Lastly, students painted with their water colors and behold! the snowmen were still white.

Painting is certainly a favorite activity for little ones and an activity that is harder to do at home sometimes, since it takes much work to cover the table, put on the aprons, etc. I am glad this is included in the CSH art curriculum!

Science: Review and Introduction of the Human Person

This week students reviewed the classification of animals that they had learned the first 6 weeks of Science. We added "Human" as way of introducing the third quarter to our students. The Bible verse in the CSH memory work "works" nicely for this poster along with the animal memory work from the first quarter. The cutting should be done by the tutor before the class for children ages 5-8. In retrospect I would recommend ONE poster PER FAMILY, since not all little ones can read. My 5 year-old would ask, what does "reptile" start with? Then, she looked for a word that started with "R" to put the lizard underneath it.

Please note that the activities this quarter are not part of the CSH Science curriculum.
