This week in school at home we will be continuing in several of our books, that we started last week, memorizing Psalm 12:15, praying for the Delaware Native American Tribe and learning about reptiles! It’s going to be a busy week with piano on Tuesday and home school science class on Thursday afternoon.
Today in class we talked about Moses and his dedication to the freeing his people the Israelites from Pharaoh in Exodus 5:22-6:12. In our reading of Luke we hear more parables told by Jesus.
Today we finished our history/geography lessons on the Incan (actually called Tawantinsuyu), Aztecs and Mayans. We had a lengthy discussion afterward about each of the societies what was good and what was bad. We also discussed how we as a society today are similar to each of these peoples.
In the back of the book is a list of further reading material, Isabel seemed very interested in learning more about them and the Spanish conquistadors that eventually took over their lands. One of the book caught my eye that gives a perspective from the Spaniards view of the native peoples in Central and South America. Might have to look into it at the library.
Reptiles include: snakes, alligators, crocodiles, tortoise, turtles and lizards.
“Catching lunch” was the topic for today’s science lesson on reptiles. Isabel learned how a snapping turtle, an eyelash viper, chameleon and a Nile crocodile lure and eat their prey.
Our readers this week:
