“THE VISIT”

BIBLE:

Character Lessons:

Jordan continued reading through the FIAR Bible and character lessons. We split up any remaining scripture verses over the rest of the week. I try to give him a “daily Bible bite” to accompany his assigned scripture verses.

Memory Verse:

Jordan memorized Proverbs 3:7-8 while rowing this chapter.

SOCIAL STUDIES:

Benjamin Franklin:

In addition to reading the teacher’s manual about Benjamin Franklin, Jordan read Ben Franklin and the Magic Squares.

Philadelphia:

Jordan read about Philadelphia in our States book.

LANGUAGE ARTS:

Famous Sayings:

As we discussed Benjamin Franklin, I asked Jordan what his favorite saying was. He said, “Haste makes waste.”

A Day with Ben Franklin:

Jordan is our resident DIYer, so he said he would LOVE to hang out with Ben Franklin. His personal choice would be to invent things with him. What a beautiful discussion question. Have I mentioned how much I love this program?

Since Jordan was learning about Ben Franklin, I had him read Who Was Ben Franklin? as his daily reader.

SCIENCE:

Farmer’s Almanac:

I brought out The Old Farmers Almanac for Kids so that Jordan could look through the pages to see the type of information it contained.

Liberty Bell:

I printed a great article about the Liberty Bell (Britannica Kids) and created a Periodic Table of Elements hunt in Jordan’s FIAR notebook.

Bub always enjoys an elemental activity!

HELPFUL LINKS:

Chapter Book GRAB BAG:

I created a Grab Bag for the Betsy Ross: The Designer of Our Flag Mini Unit. The Grab Bag series is a collection of worksheets and/or activities that I created while studying the FIAR Chapter Book units with my children.

You can purchase your copy HERE at our TPT Store.

*NOTE: Please be aware that any printable from the Grab Bag series may have worksheets that are similar and/or the same as those available in our other printables. We try to include anything that could enhance your student(s) learning experience as you row the chapter book series.

Pinterest Board:

You can find most of the activities, ideas, and printables from this post on Betsy Ross: Designer of Our Flag Pinterest Board.

Youtube Playlist:

As with our other rows, we created Betsy Ross: The Designer of Our Flag playlist with read-alouds, music, science, and other clips.
