Bible - Our character trait this week was wisdom. We read the story of Solomon and the 2 women who claimed the same baby as well as several devotionals on the topic of wisdom. Their memory work was Proverbs 9:10a, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom," and the first verse of the hymn "Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise. They are also still working on memorizing The Apostles' Creed.
Science - Our topic right now is plants, which we will probably finish up in 2 weeks or so and move onto the human body. We did some planting this week, which I'll show you if it actually grows. We read several library books on seeds. Today we made nature bracelets.
Literature - We began the works of Beatrix Potter this week. So far, we have read The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies, and The Tale of Jemima Puddleduck. We also read lots of library books each week. Some of the kids' favorites right now are the Amelia Bedelia books and books by Mo Willems and Jan Thomas.Caleb-
Handwriting - He worked on P and N this week and reviewed all his numbers.
Phonics - He worked on the sounds of G, L, N, and W this week. He is doing much better at blending sounds and is beginning to sound out three letter words. He can read the 1st 4 BOB books.
Math - He finished up lesson 23 on tally marks and began lesson 24 on adding to make 10.
Alexa - She did activities related to the letter F and worked on the numbers 15-17.

My children loved Beatrix Potter. You might try Thorton Burgess books also if you children are loving Potter.
Great week. I love all their eager faces. So cute.
We discovered Mo Willems at the library this week too. They are good readers!
Actually, the last two pages of Benjamin Bunny I read to myself. Both my students disappeared.
Your kids are absolutely adorable. I miss teaching those ages.
We are Mo Williams fans too! My kids also like Skippyjon Jones.
Love Beatrix Potter & the Pigeon books by Mo Willems -- such different authors! :) Love the nature bracelets!

Looks like they had a blast outside making their bracelets!!!!
Very cute kids! Cutest in the world? Well, every Grandpa and Grandma thinks their grandchildren are the greatest! :-)
It was your reference to the hymn "Immortal Invisible" that caught my eye this morning. My blog on hymns, Wordwise Hymns is a daily almanac of important dates in hymn history. And today in 1908 the author of that hymn died.
If you enjoy reading about our hymns and their authors, I encourage you to check out my blog.
And if you’ll excuse a brief “commercial:” With the arrival of fall, we begin to think of the Christmas season up ahead. If you do not have a good book on the subject of our Christmas carols, I encourage you to take a look at mine, Discovering the Songs of Christmas. In it, I discuss the history and meaning of 63 carols and Christmas hymns. The book is available through Amazon, or directly from Jebaire Publishing. (Might make a great gift too!)
