Third Grade: Day 21

It’s been a week since my last school posting and I’m sorry about that. I worked every day, all day last week, subbing for a fellow teacher, who was hunting with her husband. It was a great week though and I enjoyed it. I got to see a lot of my fellow three-year olds from last year! So awesome to see how they have grown in just 3 months!

Gino had been helping with school at home with Isabel last week while I was working and I really do appreciate all his help. However all that subbing and working won’t happen again. I appreciate the time I was given but I really do need to home with Isabel at school.

Today’s Bible reading for Isabel, was in Genesis 27:1-35 about the birth of Jacob and Esau. The parent reading was in Luke 7:36-50 about a Roman Commander who has great faith and Jesus raising a widow’s son from the dead.

This week we are starting 2 new books:

Learning about the Penobscot Native American Tribe in Maine.

Today’s reading was to read the introduction and chapters 1-2. After her reading, I had Isabel draw a picture of what she thought the main characters home area looked like.

She did a fantastic job!
Her depiction is from his first day alone and testing out his father’s blunderbuss gun on a squirrel.

Our other new book this week (we start it on Thursday) is:

Learning about the Incan Tribe in South America.

Psalm 8 is coming along, this week we add the final 5 sentences. Next week we bring all the verses together! Isabel sings it beautifully with the accompanying CD, however in 2 weeks she needs have the whole thing memorized.

You have put all things under his feet. All sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field. The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea. Whatever passes through the paths of the seas, O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth!
