History – Political Parties:
In addition to reading the FIAR manual, we perused through Fireworks, Picnics, and Flags. We read many little patriotic snippets from this book.

Jordan read Emergency by Gail Gibbons. This was a great book to cover several occupations listed under law enforcement and first responders.

Making a Good Appearance:
In addition to reading about making a good appearance, I added a science element from our Ultimate Body-Pedia book.
It was a refresher course on heathy habits, especially during the teen years.
LANGUAGE ARTS:
Famous Sayings – A New Phrase To Learn:
After discussing “Blue Plate Specials”, I challenged Jordan to create a menu item for each day of the week. He loved this idea and went right to work.
Washington Irving and “Rip Van Winkle”:
This week, I assigned Rip Van Winkle as a part of Jordan’s daily reading.
Writing and Discussion Question:
As with our other chapters, Jordan responded to the discussion question in his FIAR notebook.

I created a Grab Bag for the Homer Price FIAR 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.
