Devotions: Boyhood and Beyond

Current Events: everyone read from their God's World papers
Geography: 52 Days By Camel - 2 chapters
Math Game: Smath
Music: We read the picture book The Farewell Symphony and listened to Haydn's symphony online here: http://www.nastrings.org/2008/01/03/haydn-farewell-symphony-listening-exercise/
Grammar/Spelling: Luke did a page in The Grammar Ace & the boys copied another spelling rule in notebooks with examples. Annalise did some copywork.
Read Aloud Practice: Abel's turn to read from Elson Reader 4

Art Project: the Winter Trees project in Usborne's Art Treasury along with a picture study of A Winter Scene with Skaters Near a Castle by Hendrick Avercamp on the pages (pgs. 16 - 17)right before the Winter Trees painting project. This painting was not as easy as it looked. We learned the course watercolor paper we used at first was not the way to go. So we tried again on cardstock and that seemed better. It didn't work out as well as the example but we had fun anyway.

Hey there! I noticed the boys were working on grammar. My third graders aren't too keen on that sometimes, so I uploaded some fun games for them to practice with. They are compiled at http://kirbyville.k12.mo.us/rauch/writing.htm if need any extra resources. Hope all is going well. :)
