This week's Bible verse: Luke 2:11b "He is Christ, the Lord."
Monday - History; we've covered the first farming, writing, crafts and trade of the Summerians. Now we are continuing with early kings and war. This part is really interesting for Noah. In his fun reading, he's been reading about King Arthur and the knights of the round table, which is centuries from what we're currently studying, but he is liking it so much that he is having a knights birthday party this weekend.
Tuesday - Science; we ran out of time to make the volcano last week, so we worked on it today, squeezing it into our studies of the deep sea. (It is still not finished, so it has not errupted yet.) After all, some of the largest volcanoes have grown under water creating the mountain ranges and deepest trenches. It has been amazing to learn about the life forms that thrive along the heat vents. Noah utilized some of the web links from our Usborne science book. His favorite was diving in the deep sea in a submersible and collect sea life specimens, identifying their characteristics and taking quizzes on what he had learned.
Wednesday - Here is Noah's spelling list. I am teaching spelling the CM way. These are words that Noah has been reading in his reading lessons.
little, lick, kick, sick, teeth, feet, hand, sand, coats, fly, when, girl,
gate, hate, that, feel, gold, cold, told, look, hunting, barn, then, grass,
back, rock, socks, cake, lake, make, shore, away, never, start, now, hear,
goat, fish, eagle, kitten, sheep, moon, swim, jump, walking, rats, horse, where,
said, say, with, same, have, gave, down, tree, talking, rich, just, were,
Thursday - Noah's printing has greatly improved in just a weeks time. Today's a writing day. I'll try to post some of his writing soon.
Friday - Noah finished his 100 Easy lessons reading book, his personal goal to read and finish the book before his birthday has been achieved. I'm so proud of his accomplishments.

Can't wait to see his hand writing and volcano project, not to mention his birthday party pictures! Are you doing anything with US History or geography?
For U.S. History, we are studying the pledge of allegiance and breaking it down into what each part really means. He already has it memorized. We are also studying local government and are volunteering in Juan Manigault's campaign for Mayor of South Bend. We went to his headquarters and picked up signs and bumperstickers and a tee shirt and signed up to go door to door in our precinct. We don't have our kit yet. In Geography we're starting to learn the states.
