Everything I know about repair work I learned from Red Green

For months now I've been wondering how to fix these delicate boxes, or find some replacements in a store -- any store.  No luck.  Today I had my Red Green moment.

What we learned about Samuel, Saul, and David

Today in class I wrote down what we learned during this Bible unit. Of course, the kids had things to say even after the end of the period. If you learned something else about these stories, tell me in the comments.


Things we learned:

• Samuel anointed Saul and David to be kings.
• David killed Goliath and chopped off his head.
• God is better than power, knowledge, experience, and weapons.
• Saul was jealous of David.
• Saul threw spears at David to kill him.
• David ran away from Saul because he wanted to kill David.
• David cut off some of Saul’s robe.
• Saul and Jonathan died in battle.
• David became king.
• David had a war with Saul’s son before he was king of all Israel.
• God said David’s kingdom would never end.
• Absalom hated Amnon.
• Absalom killed his brother Amnon.
• David didn’t forgive Absalom.
• Joab killed Absalom while his hair was caught in a tree.
• David was a shepherd, then an army commander and a king.

Today we made words with the letters from the word "flowers". For example we used the 's' and 'o' to make the word "so".

If you know any other words to make using the letters from "flowers", leave them in the comments.

The sounds that we were practicing were "ow" and "ew". Practice with this video!

In a Dark, Dark Wood

In a dark, dark wood
there was a dark, dark house.
And in that dark, dark house
there was a dark, dark room.
And in that dark, dark room
there was a dark, dark cupboard.
And in that dark, dark cupboard
there was a dark, dark shelf.
And on that dark, dark shelf
there was a dark, dark box.
And in that dark, dark box there was...

What Happened at Fran's Prom?

The story Fran and the Prom Dress ended without saying what the prom was like.  As a class we wrote the ending to the story.  (Word Wall words are written in blue.)

When Fran gets to the prom she will eat some nice food.  She saw Brad wearing a crown.  She knew that he was the prince.  Suddenly it was ten after ten!  Her stuff turned back to normal.  She went home alone.
