JCA Day 62 What a Day!

Well......the day started out great!
We went through our morning routine with our pledges, prayer time,
place value, counting, reading sentences, finding star words, and
reviewing the story about David and Goliath.
After snack time, we had our "recess" time where we sang The Roundup, Jesus is My Superhero, and I will Love the Lord.
We had so much fun with our motions to all of these songs!
We absolutely love singing and music.....
especially if there are motions to go along with it!!!!

Then we worked on our phonics lessons and math lesson.


After lunch, our science lesson was, again, about the seasons.
We read a great book explaining why we have seasons.
In this picture, Hannah R. represents the sun and Hannah M. represents Earth.
We discussed how the sun stays in one spot and the Earth revolves around the sun while rotating. What causes seasons is the tilt of the Earth. Here Hannah M. is tilting away from the sun.....the star on her shirt is the United States, so right now it's winter in the US.
In this picture, Earth is tilting toward the sun, therefore, it is summer in the US.
(we are ready for summer, by the way, so we could have a little warmth).....
Following this demonstration, we went into our small group times which included computers, a math lesson, and an activity on seasons. We did not get very far into this when our electricity happened to go out!
We had to call parents and head home. What a miserably windy day!
We are all looking forward to a better weather day tomorrow!
