Bible
\n<\/strong>We read about Mary giving birth to Jesus, how God told Joseph in a dream to marry Mary, and Elizabeth giving birth to John.  We also read that Elizabeth’s husband became mute until John was born.<\/p>\n

Read Aloud
\n<\/strong>We read many things.  Some include: Mother Goose poems, a story from the Little Golden Book, and a story about George Washington and the Cherry Tree.<\/p>\n

Language Arts
\n<\/strong>Developing the Early Learner worksheets- Motor skills left to right, Visua Similarities (cross out the letter that is not the same as others), Auditory-Similarities (cross out the ones that are not the same sound), Comprehension-Association(look at a set of pictures and cirlce the picture that belongs with the other (ex. Toothbrush and a smile or a towel)<\/p>\n

Science
\n<\/strong>We learned about the wheel and how it is used.  We also looked at an example of a simple machine that can be created (the bird eats the bird seed sitting on a lever.  The lever tips up, ringing a bell and wakes up a sleeping person and causes a string to be cut by scissors which drops a hemmer onto a tube of toothpaste causing paste to land on the toothbrush.)<\/p>\n

‘A’ REALLY wants to make a machine like this… (Calling all Grandpas!!)<\/p>\n

Social Studies
\n<\/strong>Things People Do-The Ballet Dancer<\/p>\n

Art Appreciation
\n<\/strong>We looked at pictures of animals on a farm. Some of the pictures I found online are:

\"\"‘Landscape with Cattle’<\/em>, 1895-1900, Henri Rousseau<\/p>\n

Life Skills
\n<\/strong>We read from ‘The Little Book of Manners for Boys’ about being a good sport and about being a leader.<\/p>\n

Math
\n<\/strong>The boys are learning about the comparison of numbers (6 is more than 5, etc.). <\/p>\n

Reading
\n<\/strong>‘A’ is working on Bob Book Volume 2\/Book 7 "Jumper and the Clown"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
