This week we continued with Unit 5 – The Exodus Out of Egypt. We read about the Israelites wandering in the desert, God providing manna and quail for them, and God giving Moses the Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai. For science, we read about birds and then made a quail out of paper (think a paper airplane decorated to look like a bird). Samuel had a lot of fun making it but we made it out of construction paper and I think it was too heavy because it didn’t fly very well at all.
We have continued memorizing Matthew 22:37. Samuel amazes me with how quickly he memorizes things. He has most of the verse memorized already and really only needs help with the reference.
We read a couple of more chapters of Reddy Fox and Reddy & Granny ended up having to move because Farmer Brown’s boy found their home. We talked about what it’s like to move, and Samuel actually remembered a lot more about our move from Chattanooga than I thought he would since he was so young at the time.
In math, we’ve continued working with non standard units of measurement. We’ve measured length and width of several different things using Legos, paper clips, pencils, crayons, and books. Samuel has a lot of fun measuring and likes to guess how long something will be before we measure it and then seeing if he’s right.
We learned the letter L this week. Samuel already knew how to make L’s because of his name, but it was a good review for him.
