4-20-11 Finished BH Unit 7





























These are pictures from our week in school. We are doing Bigger Hearts for His Glory (the curriculum for 7-9 year olds from Heart of Dakota). Ellie is doing 2nd grade work in this curriculum.

Ellie made a model of a peninsula and isthmus for Geography. We talked about how Jamestown is a peninsula. (2nd & 3rd pictures.)

In Science we made a model of the Solar System. We also discussed how fossils are made. We put different things into playdough to make our "fossils". Ellie made a diagram of a flower and labeled it for her Science Notebooking assignment. (pictures 5-7) (The flower diagram is the last picture)

Ellie did a Notebook assignment for History,. It has pictures of different plants that were grown in South Carolina in Colonial Times.
We have been learning about the indians during Colonial times so Ellie made a wigwam out of playdough for a History Activity. (Wigwam is 1st picture and Notebook assignment is 4th picture)

Each day we learn about the Bible. We learn a new verse and study a hymn.

Ellie is learning how to borrow with 3 digit subtraction in Math and learning about nouns in Language Arts.

We also have a poem each week we read and learn about, drawing exercises, art projects, and story time.

We just finished a couple of books for Reading and we will be starting the book projects for them next week.
