4th/2nd Grade Creation to the Greeks Psalms 23 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures He leads me beside still waters. He  restores my soul. He  leads me in  paths of righteousness      for his  name's sake. Even though I  walk through the valley of  the shadow of death, [ c ]      I will  fear no evil, for  you are with me;      your  rod and your staff,      they comfort me. You  prepare a table before me      in  the presence of my enemies; you  anoint my head with oil;      my  cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me      all the days of my life, and I shall  dwell in the house of the  Lord      forever. Bible/History We talked about Samuel's story and Saul as the first king The kids memorized the whole Ps 23 on their own. We also learnt about the Trojan War and started on Children's Homer The kids took turns reading this book and I read Children's Homer to them. I listened to the audio ver

Usborne graciously gifted us with the Sticker Dolly Dressing App in exchange for a review. If you have seen these books before, you'd have known how lovely it is to play with the dollies. Here are our thoughts (mom included, because, ahem, yes I sneaked to play with it too). LOVES 1. The ease of use. You just have to drag and drop the apparels, and they "fit" on their own (you'd be surprised how some "dress up" apps requires you to match very carefully). It is not hard to find where everything are. 2. Variety and beautiful graphics There are eight scenes to use the dolls and there are many outfits to choose from. We get to keep the finished product in a gallery, which is kind of nice. 3. More than one doll My daughter pointed out that it is fun that when you get to a scene, you can add dolls and dress up those friends too. IMPROVEMENTS 1. Different outfits for different scenes My daughter thinks it would be nice to have di

Bible/History We talked about Ruth and Samuel's story The kids memorized the whole Ps 23 on their own. It was heartwarming to see the examples of Ruth and Samuel We also learnt about Crete, Minoans and Mycenaean. (Many words I had to google on the pronunciation!) We did quite some reading from Streams and also Ancient World. Would love to show them a video/documentary...maybe next week. Math/Science Because of our fail

Bible/History We talked about Judges and specifically the stories of Gideon and Samson Read many times Psalms 23, memorized verse 4 We learnt so much from Gideon's and Samson's lives. How God used people who are not as "strong" as we think. We also learnt about the people of the Canaan country (Hittites and Philistines) And this is one of our FAVORITE videos of Judges. Our kids learnt the names of the judges just by this song! Math/Science Germination We started by observing the seeds After soaking
