April 16-19
This week in Nature/Science we will read about inclined planes, and practice using inclined planes with an “Egg Drop” experiment and a “Penny Lift” experiment. The children will plant begonias into pots in the atrium. We will also observe and paint a Foxglove for our nature journals.
In Phonics/Language we will begin to read and narrate stories from Tenggren’s Cowboys and Indians. We will review our letters A through Z and play “Find It” with Explode the Code objects.
In Bible we will read “David and Jonathan” and “David Finds Saul Asleep” from The Bible in Pictures.
In Social Studies we will begin to learn about our great State of Texas as we read Do You See What I See? Texas and paint a picture of the Texas tortoise and horned lizard.
In Art/Music the children will begin a picture study of “At the Milliner’s” by Edgar Degas. They have been learning the words to a song that we are planning to perform entitled “Sunflower”. We will be working on the motions this week. We will perform before the school play on Thursday, May 10 at Trinity Church. Adults are 5.00 and guests (children) are 3.00. Be sure to mark your calendar!
