MFW 2nd Grade - Week #27


BIBLE:  We continued with our study of Matthew 20:28 and read scripture in John and Matthew.  

SPELLING/ENGLISH:  We continued with AAS and PLL.   Nothing of great importance to note....we're just doing our customary lessons each day.

And we are finally finished with "On the Banks of Plum Creek."  What a sweet, fun story.  Even if it was about little girls.

Reading List:

Chicken Sunday, Patricia Polacco
All the Places to Love, Patricia MacLachlan

Chicken Sunday was an amazing book.  We enjoyed it so very much.  It was about an older, black lady who takes care of three kids.  They mistakenly get in trouble and in the process of trying to fix things end up surprising the older lady with something she had been looking at in a story window.....Such a precious story and I believe it was based on a real story.  I would read it again and would buy it if presented with the opportunity.  

HISTORY/STATE STUDY:  This week we talked about Minnesota and Oregon.  And we read for a couple of days on Abraham Lincoln.  We both really enjoyed learning about him.  Since this is actually being written a couple of months after the fact, I can say that anytime Caleb has heard Abe's name, he says, "Honest Abe."  :)

SCIENCE:  Caleb enjoyed our science experiment this week.  He put various food items into an ice cube tray.  We froze them, and then dumped them onto a plate to see if they froze, or not, or how their consistency changed with the coolness.  I really thought we took pictures of this experiment, but I can't seem to find them. :( 

These poor blog posts seem so bare and skimpy.  :(  I misplaced, or lost, my camera charge while on our trip in Louisiana.  So, I'm only able to use my cell phone camera for pictures during school.  And, those aren't always being taken it seems.  Without pictures, these posts just seem dry and hum-drum...

Until next time...

Educating in Christ,
