“A FAMOUS STORY”

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:

I assigned Deuteronomy 10:18 as Jordan’s memory verse while rowing this chapter.

LANGUAGE ARTS:

Writing and Discussion Question:

Jordan and I talked about whether or not Betsy Ross created the first American flag. He believes she wasn’t the first, because the timeline doesn’t fit.

SOCIAL STUDIES:

The Revolutionary War:

In addition to reading the FIAR teacher’s manual, we continued our FIAR suggested reading of Everything You Need to Ace American History in One Big Fat Notebook which covered the Revolutionary War.

George Washington:

In addition to reading the FIAR manual, Jordan read Who Was George Washington?

Legends of Famous Americans:

I added several of Disney’s American tall tales to our Betsy Ross playlist.

SCIENCE:

Constellations Continued:

Jordan continued reading Find the Constellations, a book suggested from the “Why Do Stars Twinkle”, science unit from chapter 13.

He created cards for the new constellations he read about this week.

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.
