Bible
We read about Mary giving birth to Jesus, how God told Joseph in a dream to marry Mary, and Elizabeth giving birth to John. We also read that Elizabeth’s husband became mute until John was born.
Read Aloud
We read many things. Some include: Mother Goose poems, a story from the Little Golden Book, and a story about George Washington and the Cherry Tree.
Language Arts
Developing the Early Learner worksheets- Motor skills left to right, Visua Similarities (cross out the letter that is not the same as others), Auditory-Similarities (cross out the ones that are not the same sound), Comprehension-Association(look at a set of pictures and cirlce the picture that belongs with the other (ex. Toothbrush and a smile or a towel)
Science
We learned about the wheel and how it is used. We also looked at an example of a simple machine that can be created (the bird eats the bird seed sitting on a lever. The lever tips up, ringing a bell and wakes up a sleeping person and causes a string to be cut by scissors which drops a hemmer onto a tube of toothpaste causing paste to land on the toothbrush.)
‘A’ REALLY wants to make a machine like this… (Calling all Grandpas!!)
Social Studies
Things People Do-The Ballet Dancer

We looked at pictures of animals on a farm. Some of the pictures I found online are:

‘Girl with Pigs’, before 1782, Thomas Gainsborough
‘Landscape with Cattle’, 1895-1900, Henri Rousseau

We read from ‘The Little Book of Manners for Boys’ about being a good sport and about being a leader.
Math
The boys are learning about the comparison of numbers (6 is more than 5, etc.).
