This was a fun week with LHFHG! We finished up Unit 20 – The Spread of Christianity and started Unit 21 – The Age of Exploration.
In history, we read about King Alfred, King Richard, the Indians, and Christopher Columbus.
Samuel kept working on handwriting. He loves it when he finishes his lesson and gets to write a verse and decorate his page.
We finished learning Psalm 119:105 and are now working on Psalm 96:4-5.
In math we started working on telling time. So far, we’ve learned general times like morning, afternoon, and evening. We also started learning how to tell time to the hour.
We started a new book for story time – The Adventures of Chatterer the Red Squirrel. We were immediately drawn into the story as it started out with Chatterer running for his life from Shadow the Weasel. Samuel is really looking forward to finding out what happens. He had to write 3 adjectives to describe himself and then draw a picture of himself. He did a great job!
The highlight of Samuel’s week was the day we read about Indians. We made a tabletop Indian village and he loved it! It is now inhabited by numerous Lego men and Star Wars figurines. He has been playing with it non-stop.
On Friday we went on a field trip with our homeschool group to Rainforest Adventures Zoo. Samuel loved getting to see all the animals. They mainly have snakes, lizards, birds, and other rainforest creatures, but they also had some larger animals outside. We had a great time!
There is a snake in here, but you can’t see it. Samuel is just really into all things Egyptian right now and when he saw the Egyptian decorations he told me I had to take his picture with it!
