We are going back to FIAR this week. We will row "Another Celebrated Dancing Bear" by Gladys Scheffrin-Faulk. For social studies we will learn about Russia, the culture, the onion domes, and the circus, of course. We will also have a lesson on friendship and discuss what it means to be a good friend. During language arts we will discover new vocabulary from our story; occupation, czar, elegant, glum, samovar, magnificent, jealous, audience, marvelous, pyramid, comical. We will dramatize the following words and phrases from the story; applauded, bowed, beamed, drew near, giggling, chattering, mopping his brow, kicking during dancing, and leaping. Our art lesson will b eon etching and warm colors. During math this week we will continue addition with MUS and revisit the theme of time. (seconds to minuets to hours to days to weeks to months to years) Our Bible lesson this week will be about David and Johnathan. This will allow us to reiterate the theme of friendship. We will do an experiment about freezing and boiling points for our science exploration. We will also continue our reading lessons with RME.
