March 24-28

This week in Nature/Science we will read about Adherent Nests in Exploring Creation. We will review the types of nests that we have studies and visit the garden to discover whether the birds have made use of the nesting materials that we left for them. We will read about Egg Color and how the color often relates to the type of nest that the mother has built. We are also planning to sketch Snapdragons and plant them into the flowerbed at the front of the school. We are working on our Perennial Garden. A special thanks to Mr. Flint, who has done a great job replacing the wooden frame. We are need of Perennials for our garden. In Social Studies we are planning to read about Thomas Jefferson. We will also begin to work on learning The Star Spangles Banner. In Music/Art the children will practice acting out feelings as they move to "Feelings" by Hap Palmer. They will listen and follow directions to "Sammy" from "Getting to Know Myself" by Hap Palmer. We will also practice recitation of "Foreign Lands" by Robert Louis Stevenson. In Bible, we will read Genesis 27-29 and act out the story "A Long Trip Alone for Jacob" with puppets. In Phonics/Language we are planning to read from Aesop's Fables. We will read "Belling the Cat" and "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" and sequence the stories.
