Religion - we discussed the catechism questions for Lesson 11, at the back of the Our Holy Faith text, on the Holy Eucharist. Then the children colored a page from the St. John's website http://www.sjtb.org/images/ElevationofSacredHost%20.pdf
English - this week's lesson was another conversation one, this time on the topic of birds. The children were asked the questions from the PLL Lesson 159 while looking at various bird field guides to find the birds being discussed.
Poetry - we worked on the next stanza of "The Months". Maybe some children would like to work on memorizing the poem in its entirety for the end-of-the-year program!
History - we read a lovely version of the story of Romulus and Remus written by Mrs. R, and then did a coloring page as a record of what we had learned.
Geography - we worked with a map of Italy and found various locations on the map.
Presentation - done by M. McCarthy
Science - we reviewed the CCM memory work for today on carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores and then discussed which animals are plant-eaters (herbivores). We went outside for our "Hunt for Herbivores" activity, armed with insect boxes, nets, and magnifying glasses! The plan was to find leaves that had been damaged by tiny herbivores (insects), as evidenced by holes, chewed or curled edges and to collect this evidence for study. The students also used a "Shake-It Container" which enabled them to shake foliage over a collection box, causing any little herbivores present to fall into the box and then be captured in the bag attached below for observation.
