History -- this week we talked about the Judges of the Old Testament, discussing how the Hebrews would turn from God, how their enemies would conquer them, they would repent, and God would send a Judge to lead them. We specifically focused on Samson. We read his story, and then colored a picture.
Geography -- we located the new places on the map
Religion-- continuing with the Commandments, today we focused on the Third: keeping the Lord's Day holy. The children drew lovely pictures of how to keep the day holy; I think all either drew the inside or outside of a church!
English -- We worked on Lesson 40, which was challenging since all attend school in a different location! The children offered words to describe the playground at co-op and our classroom. Then they copied a couple of sentences that related to our discussion from the board. We also practiced "The Swing" for the St. Nicholas party. Later the teachers discovered this was not the right poem, but the children recited it beautifully together, so we may just stick with it.
Science -- the kids loved the show and tell this week involving a live rabbit! Following this we worked on a vertebrate lap book. I believe all were able to glue on the 5 classes of vertebrates, but an additional worksheet was sent home because there was not enough time to do that. The children can color, cut, and sort the animals and paste them next them to the class in which they belong. For example, attach the cat next to mammals.
