BIBLE:

Since we started the first chapter of this book while still rowing Night Animals, we didn’t use the Bible verse for this book until the second week.

Memory Verse:

I created a Bible verse printable to go along with this row.

You can purchase your copy here at our TPT Store. There’s a bonus tracer in the Preview!

SOCIAL STUDIES:

Homeschooling:

We looked at the suggested website of famous people who were homeschooled.

Afterward, we read Thomas Edison and His Bright Idea. To think his teacher told his mom he wasn’t smart. She knew different and we benefit from her choice to homeschool her brilliant son.

Historic Time Period, Reading Cues:

After looking at the suggested page, I asked Parker what clues let us know when the story took place. He mentioned the ship, clothing, carriage and realized it took place “long ago”.

I brought out Then and Now and had him look through the various pictures to see how things have changed from “long ago”.

Geography – Continents:

We took a moment to review continents and oceans using our file folder continent matching activity (homeschoolden).

I brought out our felt map so he could match up the continents and label the oceans.

SCIENCE:

Lungs:

This week, we continued learning about our lungs and asthma.

Parker read The Respiratory System and Asthma on our Epic app.

I set out a Breathing Model experiment from our Science Activities, Volume III.

Parker created his lung model and saw how the lungs expand and contract with the diaphragm.

HELPFUL LINKS:

Chapter Book GRAB BAG:

I created a Grab Bag for the You’re on Your Way Teddy Roosevelt 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 our You’re on Your Way Teddy Roosevelt Pinterest Board.

Youtube Playlist:

As with our other rows, we created You’re on Your Way Teddy Roosevelt playlist with read-alouds, music, science, and other clips.
