We had a busy day in class today.
In the a.m. we did all the written work and then spent the afternoon reading. We finished 2 books and continued through 3 more.
We took our daily spelling test, did the dictation passage, the Bible verse and science. In science, we watched several videos about spiders and beetles.

“The Skippack School” by M.d.A.
After we finished the book. We learned that the school master in the book was a real person, who had a deep compassion for his students and was known to prayer for each student. The town where the book takes place, in Skippack Pennsylvania, has a high school named after him.
“What’s the big idea, Ben Franklin?” by J. F.
This small book was packed full of great information about Mr. Franklin and we all enjoyed it.
In history, we talked about the Boston Massacre in 1770, the Great Awakening (1736-1770) and George Whitefield (1714-1770). Good talks and lots of great questions! I am really enjoying the curriculum, great stuff!!
