One Room Schoolhouse

Thursdays are pretty busy with piano, storytime, and Preschool, but we still managed to get some work done in the morning before piano. This is some of what we did.

READALOUD - More Trumpet of the Swan, I also had Amber play a matching game of mother animals with their babies and we talked about what each one is called.

SCRIPTURES - On Thursday mornings Chris has early meetings so we don't have time to read scriptures as a family, therefore I try to do something extra with the kids on Thursdays. I found a story from The Friend called "The Glass Swan" about a little girl who breaks her neighbors glass swan and decides to tell the truth about it. I also found two references to swans in the scriptures. One is Leviticus 11:18 and the other is Deuteronomy 14:16.

SPELLING - For spelling practice, the girls stamped their words and Jared built his with letter tiles.
PRESCHOOL - Preschool was at our house today. Our theme was All About Me. We read several books about being individuals and then each girl (there are four girls in Preschool) made her own book about her favorite color, movie, toy and food. Clarissa and Krystal joined in on this for their writing today.

WRITING - Jared worked on the first draft for his Beowulf paper. He finished it, unfortunately, he wrote a wonderful book report on Beowulf, but that wasn't the assignment. He was good-hearted about the fact that he would have to start over, but we'll save that for another day.
