Thurs. March 7

Good day today. We read "Bedtime with Francis" in Larts. It took us about 40 minutes to read, but they did a great job of listening while someone else was reading. "The Lady of the Waters" was a very interesting and they really had a hard time grasping its story line. It was all about this woman who was testing these two girls. She had them complete tasks that required obedience, but one of the tasks required them to be disobedient because it was the right thing to do. They had a hard time understanding that sometimes it is ok to disobey because it is the "right" thing to do even though you were asked to do otherwise. Great discussion

Science- desert habitat. Really went fast because they know a lot about this subject anyway. we did do a fun experiment though to show that food has water in it. They were amazed that a piece of bread actually has water in it.

wed. we did:

History- learned about the Golden Age of Athens. This was when Pericles was the leader. They rebuilt the entire city and constructed the Parthenon. They already knew a lot about this from suzy's lesson in Art.

Music- We learned "My country tis of Thee" and "Star Spangled Banner" . We learned about the meaning behind the words and why they were written. We also reviewed "Peter and the Wolf" . They are ready to go for Saturday.


See everyone tomorrow.
