Week 28-TOG

History: We are starting on unit 4, the History of Redemption. This week we focused on the founding of Rome and the Etruscan people.

Literature:

Bible: We are reading through the gospels during this unit and the focus was on the familiar story of Christ's birth and childhood. They had Bible questions to answer from the student pages.

Dictation: We used Mary's prayer, the Magnificat, for our dictation this week.

Memory: We reviewed the books of the New Testament

Writing: The writing assignment was discussing the Etruscans and their influence on the Romans. I am going to continue to do IEW unit 4 writing for the rest of the year. I used an exerpt from the Usborne book.

Notebooking pages: The book about Jesus's childhood opens up and there are 3 little books in it for Mary, Joseph, and Jesus.

We made a little flip book of the flora and fauna of the Roman peninsula. This is a picture of one of the pages opened up.

We had a New Testament book word search for this lesson.

Fine Arts:This week we looked at pictures of some mosaics from the time of the Etruscans and made our own! It is a good thing I took a picture quickly, otherwise they might not have survived too long!
