BOOKS OF THE BIBLE 



Ecclesiastes tells us that if your life is not lived for God, it is empty and meaningless.



Song of Songs is a love poem



Isaiah was a prophet who told people that God would punish their country for their many sins.  But he also said God would later bring peace.



Jeremiah was a prophet 



Used some of our bible cards to talk about Jacob

TIMELINE



Added Abraham, Sarah, and Isaac card to the timeline.  We decided to place the pictures up and down so we could fit more on the timeline.

ARTS & CRAFTS

ACTIVITIES



Making Lentil Stew to go with the story of when Esau sold his birthright to his brother for some bread and lentil stew.  The recipe is in the TM book.




Final preparations of the stew and then we got to enjoy the stew.




Started off our morning with a little concert before school 




We look up from working on school work and see that someone is spying on us :)




Making us breakfast: scrambled eggs with cheese and turkey slices




Talked about camels and it so happened that she had picked out a sticker at the library with a camel on it.




To go with our snow and ice theme she played with the Kinetic Sand Ice Cream Treat Kit


More Peter and the Wolf music activity, we have really enjoyed the stories and identifying the instruments


SCIENCE



Learning about snow and ice 




Pointing out the South Pole, North Pole, and the Equator




Talked about snowflakes and how they are made and proceeded to make some using coffee filters




Made our own snow using 3 cups of baking soda and 1/2 cup of conditioner.  Once mixed it was cold almost like the real thing.  



Making snow balls and playing with snowflakes and penguins



After discussing about camels we did the experiment in the TM book. First she took a pencil and pressed it into the kinetic sand to see how easy it sinks in the sand, the second one we taped a quarter to the pencil to see how it would sink.  It took longer to sink in the sand which went great with explaining how the camels hooves help it stay on top of the sand.  Then she breathed on the mirror to see the water particles on the glass.  

POEM

SNOW
     By: Pamela Joyce Randolph

Branches on the evergreens
are dressed in snowy white, 
as soft the moonlight sparkles, 
on this blanket of the night.
Delicate, untouched and pure, 
is found the ground below, 
as gentle moon beams glimmer, 
on the freshly fallen snow.

VIDEOS



No Snow and Ice lesson is complete without watching "Disney Frozen"

FIELD TRIP 



Went to the library for story time and craft, learned about Fall 



Danced to a song about trees loosing their leaves 




Making butterflies out of coffee filters, after they color the filter with markers they spray some water so the colors can run together.



Both of their butterflies completed 



It was Author Day at the co-op and Kanani wanted to talk about one of her favorite book "Batman", so her and her brother wore their Batman shirts.

END OF THE WEEK 



Went to my dad's house and Kanani wanted to play hide-n-seek with Dartanian.  It didn't go as planned since little man wanted to join her in the counting.  

This week we learned about the books of Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Isaiah, Jeremiah and about the Son of Abraham, Wife for Isaac, Esau and Jacob.  Reviewed ea sound for short e and o sound for short o. Learned about the oy, oi, ir ge, gi, gy sound, snow and ice, camels, and the making of lentil stew.  Had lot of fun with all the experiments and trying new things.  Next week we will be on a mini vacation, time for a break and relaxation.  

GOD BLESS!
