MFW 2nd Grade - Week #24

BIBLE:  Our new scripture for the next two weeks is:
"...the Lamb...is Lord of lords and King of kings..."  Revelation 17:14

Bible Activities:  We read from Ephesians, Matthew, and Luke.

SPELLING/ENGLISH:  We continued with lessons in AAS and PLL

Our read-a-loud is still "On the Banks of Plum Creek."

Reading List:

Emmett's Pig, Mary Stolz
The Purple Coat, Amy Hest
Samuel F.B. Morse, Judy Alter
The Great Pig Search, Eileen Christelow
Armadillo Rodeo, Jan Brett
Tomas and the Library Lady, Pat Mora
Inside-Outside Book of Texas, Roxie Munro

HISTORY/STATE STUDY:  We talked about Samuel Morse and played around with "talking" in Morse Code by saying "beep" for dots and "bbbbbeeeeeeeppppp" for dashes.

The states we studied were Florida and Texas.  Since we live in Texas, we did a few extra worksheets and puzzles with information on Texas.

SCIENCE:  It was a fun week in science talking about sour things and did an experiment on breathing air.  Here are pictures from our sour things experiment.  We made red cabbage water and watched how it changed color based on the liquids that were put into it.    Caleb had a lot of fun with this experiment.

We boiled water and added cabbage bits.

We removed the cabbage bits after the water became purple.

Here's Caleb putting a dab of salt on his tongue....Definitely sour...

Here is the cabbage water before we started.  All containers are a blueish purple color.

And here are the after pictures....from adding grapefruit juice, lemon, etc.  Things that are not acid leave the cabbage water purple or turn it green.  Things with acid turn the cabbage water to pinkish colors.

MATH:   Completed math worksheets for addition.

HEALTH/MANNERS:    Our lesson this week was all about sugary foods and discouraging us from consuming too many of them.

Until next time....

Educating in Christ,

Momma Pam
