This week has been a good one, we have covered a lot of new things and had a bit of review on things we already knew.
Psalm 8 is coming along, this week we added the final 5 sentences of the poem/song. Isabel can sing it beautifully on her own but does get caught up in the middle. She has 2 weeks before needing to have the whole thing memorized.
This weeks 5 sentences…
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!
In Bible this week we heard the story of Jacob and Esau, 2 men who were part of God’s plan even before they were born. In the end God’s plan does play out but it makes you think, life is easier when we follow Him instead of doing things ourselves. Good stuff!
Also this week we worked again on adjectives and adverbs but added similes and synonyms. Her passage this week…
“Captain John Smith raised his head. She saw his face. It was half covered with golden hair. His eyes were blue. Never before had she seen a man’s eyes that were blue.”
– from Pocahontas and the Strangers by C.R. Bulla

Her assignments.
The top assignment is from today (Friday) and is from dictation (me reading, her writing). During this assignment she has to get the capitalization and punctuation correct from the original piece.
The bottom assignment is from yesterday (Thursday), for this assignment she add to add adjectives, adverbs, similes and synonyms to make it more interesting.
For both assignment she did an awesome job, I love her work from Thursday and the color she chose. Great job!
This week she completed her Friday, book “Lawn Boy”, this book she has been sharing with Daddy. The book is about a boy who starts a lawn mowing service in his neighborhood to earn money to buy bicycle inner tubes. Through a bunch of different meetings, some investing and other adventures by the end of the book the boy has a half a million dollars in the bank!
