God Made The Earth

"Praise be to His glorious name forever: 
may the whole earth be filled with His glory.  
Amen and amen."  Psalm 72:19

During our study of outer space, 

we created a view of Earth by using a torn paper effect. 

 As always, I tie our art projects to a book 

and add a writing component when possible.

I hope you enjoy this song from 

one of my favorite Christian groups!

Skills

As I evaluated last week's work, I noticed that several students are neglecting to write their names on assignments.  I am noting this on paperwork from this day forward.


I will also be circling backward numbers on paperwork.  At this point in the year, numbers should be facing in the right direction, more often than not.  You may also see that your child's name is being circled on paperwork.  As with numbers, correct letter form in name-writing is achievable as 3rd quarter progresses.  We are working on correct form with focused hand-writing pages during morning work.


A copy of the D'Nealian alphabet is in the W.O.W. binder.  Thank you for practicing this alphabet at home!  

Ending '11, Beginning '12

"THANKS" to our moms--

you all provided an awesome Christmas party!

Winter Wonderland
First, we created the paper for the trees.
After placing the trees on our backgrounds,
we used templates to add snowflakes with white paint.

2012 is underway!
The children searched for "qu" in each word.

What happens to water when it freezes?
We made predictions after contemplating this question.
a)The water will freeze and stay at the blue line.
b)The water will freeze and expand above the line.
c)The water will freeze below the line.

We also formed a timeline hypothesis for melting ice cubes!
