Religion - we read about the Resurrection, and briefly the Ascension (O.H.F. Chapter 8). We did a coloring page to remind of us of what we discussed in class. http://www.sjtb.org/images/theResurection.pdf
English - today's lesson was a conversation about animals, following the questions posed in PLL Lesson 153. It was an active and interesting discussion. No written work today.
Poetry - we began learning the third stanza of the poem "The Months".
History - we read about king Nebuchadnezzar and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and then did a freehand drawing of the Hanging Gardens. Most of the children were excited about this assignment. See their binders to see what they drew!
Geography - we studied a map of Asia, tracing the rivers Nile (for a reference point with which they are already familiar), Tigris, and Euphrates, and wrote a "B" to denote the location of Babylon between the two latter rivers.
Presentations - two students presented today. We saw a feather and heard a short oral report about birds and observed some fascinating praying mantis nests.
Science - we discussed the food chain (see CCM Week 15), played a game in which the children represented various life forms and created "living chains" to depict "who eats what". At the end of class we worked on a worksheet to connect the food chains depicted for various habitats. (as soon as I figure out how to attach a document to the post, I'll send this as well.)
