Repost with John 1 links….

Hello Friends!

Debby Bergson here. Each week during Opening Assembly, I will have the privilege of leading you in the Scripture memory work for this cycle.  For the first half of the year, we will focus on John 1:1-12 in English.  The first six weeks, we will be learning just the words and the music. During the next six weeks, we will review the words and add in some ASL signs to help us “hide this passage in our hearts”!  Below are the words in all caps that I will be signing:

John 1 :1-12

1 In the BEGINNING was the WORD, and the WORD was WITH GOD, and the WORD
WAS GOD. 2 HE was IN the BEGINNING with GOD. 3 ALL things were MADE through
HIM, and WITHOUT HIM NOTHING was MADE that was MADE. 4 In HIM was LIFE,
and the LIFE was the LIGHT of MEN. 5 And the LIGHT SHINES in the DARKNESS,
and the DARKNESS did not COMPREHEND it. 6 There was a (MAN SENT) from God
whose NAME was (J)ohn. 7 This man CAME for a WITNESS, to bear WITNESS of the
LIGHT, that all THROUGH HIM might BELIEVE. 8 He was NOT that LIGHT, but was
SENT to bear WITNESS of that LIGHT. 9 That was the TRUE LIGHT which GIVES
LIGHT to EVERY MAN COMING into the WORLD. 10 He was IN the WORLD and the
WORLD was MADE THROUGH HIM and the WORLD did (not) KNOW HIM. 11 He
CAME to His OWN, and His OWN did NOT RECEIVE Him. 12 But as MANY as
RECEIVED Him, to them he GAVE the RIGHT to BECOME CHILDREN of GOD to
those who BELIEVE in His NAME.

To help you as we go along, here are some links to what we will be learning.  The music for English and Latin can be found here:

 

Mrs. Nord’s Class: Week 1 Review

September 12, 2017

We made it through our first day of our CC Community group!  Here is a review of what we did this morning:

New Grammar

History

For this week’s history sentence, we used hand motions and different ways of saying the sentence when we drilled it.

Hand motions for the following words:

  • ‘Columbus’ (make a hat on your head)
  • ‘first of four’ (hold one finger and then four fingers)
  • ‘Carribean’ (make swimming motion with hands)
  • ‘three Spanish ships (make a boat with hand and move as though sailing
  • ‘the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria’ (count each ship off on your fingers)

Timeline

We sang the week one portion of the timeline song, following the cd and using the official hand motions.

If you have a CC Connected subscription, you can access the motions video for the timeline song here.  The timestamp portion for week 1 goes from 0:33 to 1:06.

CC Connected subscribers can also get a pdf of the hand motions under the File Sharing tab.  The title is “CC Timeline Signs and Motions” uploaded by FDModerator1.

Geography

After introducing map blobbing and looking at where each location is on the map, we said the states and their capitols using hand motions.

  • Agusta, ME (use hands to move like a gust of wind)
  • Concord, NH (show muscles)
  • Boston, MA (sneeze)
  • Providence, RI (point to God)
  • Hartford, CT (make a heart)

Math

After counting by 1s and 2s normally, we jumped up and down while counting by 1s and then we hopped on one foot while we skip counted by 2s.

English Grammar

We chanted the definition of an Infinitive, using the style found on this video. Week 1’s portion ends at 0:22.

In class, we followed this pattern twice:

  • Chant
  • Chant and clap
  • Chant and march

Latin

Our week 1 Latin words were said with the following motions:

  • In In (cup hand and put finger in)
  • Apud with (grab someones hand)
  • Per through (Hand through other hand)
  • Sine without (Empty hand and look sad)

Science

We sang week 1’s Science new grammar to the tune of Pop Goes the Weasel.

Presentations

Each week, students will give a 3 minute presentation.  There will be a suggested topic, but parents have the final say about what their student’s presentation topic.  Please have your child practice their presentation throughout the week to help develop skills and confidence.

Week 1 focused on getting to know each student. I asked the students questions about their summer. Our skill for Week 1 is get to know your audience.

For Week 2, here are ideas for the optional topic and skill to highlight:

  • Topic:  Show and Tell about Columbus
    • Tell us a few interesting facts about Columbus that were learned during the week
    • Draw a picture of Columbus or his ships
    • Make one or more of Columbus’ ships with legos or other building toy
  • Skill: Confidence
    • Talk to your student about trusting in and relying on God to boldly share their message.
    • Have your student practice standing still while speaking, showing that they are confident and relaxed.

Science

Today, we learned about the Scientific Method (which we sang to the tune of Pop Goes the Weasel from CC Connected user amandanease).

We used the scientific method to study the persistence of vision. Our experiment was #68 from Janice VanCleave’s 201 Awesome, Magical, Bizarre, & Incredible Experiments.

Fine Arts

For Fine Arts, we learned about the 5 shapes that artists use when they draw.  The word OiLS helps us to remember these 5 shapes:

  • O: circles
  • i: dots and lines
  • L: angles
  • S: curved lines

After practicing the shapes, we tried to make a ship using those shapes.

Tips for this week at home:

  • Review the memory work every day! It’s better to spend 15 minutes every day, then to spend 2 hours only one day.
  • If you purchased the audio cd, listen to the memory work while
    • you are driving
    • your kids are eating lunch
    • playing with legos
  • The audio cd has a great song for the history sentence on the Weekly cd.

Many of our children had trouble staying focused the whole morning, so if you have any suggestions of techniques that work really well for your child, please share them! I am open to suggestions to help keep the little ones engaged.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
