October 7-10

This week in Nature/Science we will read “Bird Banter”, “Songs and Calls” and “Claims to Territory” in Exploring Creation.  We will read “Bluejays” from Johnny and the Birds.  We are also planning to pick, press and sketch the Morning Glories that are growing in the garden area.
In Phonics/Language we will practice narration with Pinocchio.  The children will practice sorting objects beginning with “d” and “e” into letter tubs.  We will also read and sequence The Three Billy Goats Gruff in circle and act out the story with props on Thursday.
In Social Studies we will read about Charles V and the Holy Roman Empire.  We will paint a picture of the Emperor for our portfolios.
In Bible we will read “Patience at School” and “Patience at Play” from A Child’s Book of Character Building.  The children will paint with watercolors and share an experience where they have chosen to be patient.
In Music we will play a circle game as we sing “Bluebird, Through My Window”.  We will also play a parachute game with butterflies.
