2nd-3rd Grade; Week 11

History-- For this subject the children listened to The Trojan Horse, by Emily Little. Thoughtful comments and questions were asked during the story. Following storytime, the students colored a picture of the Trojan Horse.  The sheet also contained lines if parents would like their kids to write a sentence or two about the picture.

Religion-- we talked about the 5th Commandment, learning about what is forbidden, but also how we can take positive action -- by being kind to others, avoiding quarrels, etc.  The kids then drew a picture of how they can obey the 5th commandment.

English -- we  went over the seasons,  did Lesson 44 orally, and then copied the first three sentences from the board.  The children also had an exciting presentation -- Miss Q. brought in a live rabbit!  We did not have time for Latin or poetry this week.

Science-- the students learned about amphibians.  We viewed pictures, talked about different kinds of amphibians, reviewed metamorphosis, and then made a flip book about the life cycle of a frog.  We numbered each stage of frog development, and the students cut out and pasted the pictures.
