“THE SOVEREIGN”

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 Luke 15:10 while rowing this chapter.

SOCIAL STUDIES:

Crosssing the Atlantic:

I had Jordan read Discover the Oceans: Atlantic Ocean since he was reading about Columbus crossing the Atlantic ocean this week.

Since Jordan read about Christopher Columbus crossing the Atlantic, I decided to assign Who Was Christopher Columbus? as his next reader.

Wigs:

In addition to reading the FIAR manual, I had Jordan read about the history of wigs in An Uncommon History of Common Things.

Sovereigns & Shillings:

Jordan read about the timeline of money in The Usborne Book of Knowledge.

He also read about money and currency in The Uncommon History of Common Things.

LANGUAGE ARTS:

Writing – A Diary Format:

Jordan wrote a journal entry from the previous weekend.

Writing & Discussion:

I asked Jordan what he thought Betsy would do with the money. He immediately knew she would buy a little something and save the rest. That seemed like something Betsy would do.

SCIENCE:

Physical Condition:

I found a great article from MedlinePlus that speaks about the dangers of being sedentary.

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.
