MFW 2nd Grade - Week #25

BIBLE:  This week we studies lessons pertaining to Revelation 17:14 and read scripture in Mark, Romans and John.

SPELLING/ENGLISH:  We continued with AAS and Caleb is really doing well with it.  I'm pleased to have made the change to a new spelling program.  It will be something we can continue on through 3rd grade, so good choice there.  

Our read-a-loud is still "On the Banks of Plum Creek."  It's a very long book and we read only a chapter a day as scheduled in my teachers manual.

Reading List:

Kate Shelley and the Midnight Express, Margaret K Wetterer
The Raft, Jim LaMarche
Extra Cheese Please, Mozzarella's Journey from Cow to Pizza, Cris Peterson
Gold Fever, Rosalyn Schanzer

Our favorite reads this week were The Raft (which we read last year in school.  We liked it SO much I bought the book and so we were able to pull it out again this year.  And the story about Kate Shelley, because it was a true story and such a wonderful story about a very brave girl.

HISTORY/STATE STUDY:  This week we talked about Iowa and Wisconsin.  Our history lessons were about the Gold in California and the Gold Rush.  Very interesting topic for Caleb as he likes to watch the show on the history channel called The Gold Rush.  

SCIENCE:  Our science topics this week included reading in our First Encyclopedia of Science book all about atoms and molecules.  Caleb did not find this very interesting....  

MATH:  Worksheets for math were completed this week.

MUSIC:  We read and sang the song, You're a Grand Old Flag and Stars and Stripes Forever.

And another week comes to a close...

Educating in Christ,
