We started late this morning but we were able to get all the work completed just before 5 p.m.
We are down to our final 5/6 weeks of schooling! It’s been a great and adventurous year.
We will continue throughout the summer with piano lessons and the Lego® class and we’ll be picking up 2 other classes as well. We are also going to be looking into swimming lessons too.
This week we add another verse to our memorization of Psalm 42. This week’s Bible verse:
“Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.” – Psalm 42:5
The Indian prayer focus this week is the California Indians. Not a band of one large tribe but several different smaller tribes that got along and traded together.
- Yurok
- Chumash
- Miwok
- Pomo
- Hupa
- Yahi
- Wintun and
- Yokuts
Spelling test:
She was bummed she missed “acknowledge” she tried out several different
spellings (on scratch paper) before settling on this one. So close.
We are starting our final week of beans/corn.
“Jack” is thriving; while her corn has died.
Isabel’s theory is that “Jack” has sucked the life right out of the corn.
Placing blue colored dye on the stem of 1 bean plant and 1 corn plant.
The study is to see how the plant growth will increase and change the dots on the plants. Or will they stay the same? We will come back to this study on Friday.
New reading material:
Isabel will begin reading this one this week.
Marguerite Henry is becoming a favorite author of ours.
We began reading this one several weeks ago and will be finishing it this week.
I have loved hearing this story about a man a lot like Job.
I will begin reading this one aloud this week.
