God's Army Academy
Feb. 26, 2007
Feb 22 & 23 Thurs Friday
have tried different curriculum over the years....I am in my 3rd year of HS'ing...and a friend had borrowed FIAR and I just got them back this week. I have done Thurs/Friday starting with Lentl. We are having so much fun....but I also fear that I am "missing something".
Thursday, talked about Social Studies, Geography (locating place on map - placing disk the kids color on the map.) Then we also talked about the artist, how he drew the pics they were all pencil(no color at all) and shaded...and about the grumpy Mr. Sneep, how he was jealous and have you ever been jealous.
Then we got (me and ds7) the twins(dss5) on the couch and each of us listened to them read....or attempt....and sound out words letters....etc. So ds7 was my big boy helper.
Then I got an idea, I wrote AT on a piece of paper, took another piece of paper, wrote C,B,S,F,H,M,P,R,S,TH,V and they made words and we talked about WHAT the NEW word was.
Now ds7 is making them do "spelling words" with cat, bat, sat, fat, hat, mat, pat, rat, that, and vat. Then beside their spelling words they are drawing a picture of what each word is. They are having fun. I am working on laundry, dishes, lunch right now while they are working.
We also made Lemonaide for lunch, to go along with the lesson. Later we watched Magic School Bus talking about Solar System, and "science-y" stuff.
Friday we did our Lentl book again, talked about the flags on each page where the Col was coming home. That led into us talking about the American flag....50 stars represent 50 states...counted the states on the map(50)...13 stripes were for the 13 original colonies....then they wanted to know what the TX things represented on the flag. I looked up. All I saw was the star was for the lone star state....but I am printing off State stuff like state flag to color, state flower on a paper to color, bird: Mockingbird to color, and we will talk about tree, song, and some other things....I also printed out Ohio state shape,....so we could talk about our library book again.
Oh....in the library book they sang She'll be coming around the mountain...so we sang it which led into why would she be driving (he was thinking about DRIVING and was wondering how that would work!)six white horses....so we looked online and saw horse-drawn carriage and we talked about that a lot. They were loving that.....We sang the song and did the motions.
Then I got on a web site that the kids could do an interactive letter drag to make new words to match the pictures...it reinforced yesterdays at, cat, hat, bat, sat, rat, etc....then I kinda introduced an: can, fan, ran, pan.
We read with them again today.
