anger
temper
forgiveness
Story Time:
Today we will begin with our reading time before we go into our Bible study.
Bible Study:
Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive
anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you,
so you must forgive others.
Colossians 3:13 NLT
Write your memory verse in your journal in your best penmanship.
Today's story showed us the danger of having a bad temper as well as the importance of words. Mrs. Lynde didn't take into account that her words would hurt Anne's feelings. The Bible tells us that harsh words will stir up anger (Proverbs 15:16). It is so important that we think before we speak especially when we are angry. What are some things you can do when you are angry to avoid saying hurtful words?
For your family discussion time watch the Veggie Tales movie: God Wants Me To Forgive Them. You can find the full length movie on youtube titled God Wants Me To Forgive Them (FORGIVENESS) It is approx 32 minutes long.
Science:
Anne decorated her room with beautiful flowers from Green Gables lilacs, violets and apple blossoms. Today we are going to study the apple tree, visit an apple farm and sing fun songs about... you guessed it Apples!
Items needed for this section:
How Do Apples Grow By: Betsy Maestro
The Seasons of Arnold's Apple Tree By: Gail Gibbons
Both these books can be found on amazon if your local library doesn't carry them or you can substitute with a good book that explains the growth of the apple tree. I suggest that you read the stories first then move onto the videos.
Moms, if you go to www.homeschoolshare.com they have a unit study for Johnny Appleseed under FREE lapbooks. Inside this study you will find some great worksheets that will go along with this study. I chose these three: How Many Seeds, Parts of An Apple and Taste Test. After the kids are done you can glue the mini books right into your journal.
Buy at least four different types of apples to taste test.
Let's Begin by Singing This fun Song!!!
Now we are going to explore an apple farm:
Another Song!
Now it is time to learn some facts about picking apples.
Okay one more song!!! My favorite from Disney's movie on Johnny Appleseed. Here we go...
Family Project:
After tasting all those delicious apples why not make an apple pie or try your skills at applesauce. Whatever you decide it will be yummy.
Mom, I really enjoy this blog! We like having a little different schedule and focus on Fridays. We were able to listen to your reading and get the writing done during our usual writing hour around 10am and then after signing and reading at 11 am we did the apple tasting and made a raw apple pie for dessert. During lunch we watched the rest of your videos and then read the two books during rest time. I think it would have been better to start earlier and plan the apple tasting for snack time. We were able to get it all in though. Thanks again. We even had our neighbor join us for part of it since she was out of school.
