We finished another unit

Benjamin began our presentation time with his Before Five in a Row book, Ask Mr. Bear by Marjorie Flack  but we didn’t get any pictures.

Levi presented about Francis Scott Key, the presidents they studied during the unit and he read a poem he wrote.

And when you have a four year old little brother, he insists on helping with your presentation.

While Levi was presenting, Judith was finishing up some last minute things for her presentation. Oh, she is my child.

Judith and Levi got new glasses, here are Judith’s I really like them.

Elisabeth’s power point presentation about flag code

Our unit was called Nation Building, so Elisabeth shared how land was added to the United States.

When your map holder gets side tracked you hold your own map.

Elisabeth created a flag for our family.

Her speech about Francis Scott Key

Judith began with a song and the words on a power point presentation.

She then had a power point about the unit in general

She read the words to the Star Spangled Banner

And she told about one of the books we read, The Cabin Faced West by Jean Fritz

When we read the Postscript from the Author yesterday we realized that my husband might be on to something with his new word parfictional. Read the second paragraph here.

The girls science study for this unit was oceans and they made this salt dough model. I really tried to stay out of this one and let them follow the directions and complete this project. They did a really good job. They still need to paint, which they may do so this afternoon.
