Kindergarten–Weeks 26, 27, 28

I’ve gotten a little behind with our weekly updates.  So, here’s what we’ve been doing for the past several weeks.  We finished up Unit 21 – The Age of Exploration, Unit 22 – The Reformation, and are halfway through Unit 23 – Settling America.

We have read about Balboa, Ponce de Leon, Pizzaro & the king of Peru, Martin Luther, John Calvin, settlers coming to Jamestown, and the Mayflower arriving in Plymouth…

We have learned Psalm 96:4-5, Acts 16:31, and are now working on Philippians 4:13…

We’ve been working on telling time to the hour and half hour in math.  Samuel’s getting really good at it!

We’re still reading about Chatterer the Squirrel and are loving all the mischief he is getting into.  Here are Samuel’s pages from the past couple of weeks.
