WEC Fall 2010 week 5 (Friday 10/8)

WB 26 Power Through Precision

WB 26 Power Through Precision & Renaissance

WB 26 Insights Through Invest.& Renaissance

We finished the Insights Through Investigation resource today. The resource was a deeper Bible study on our verse looking at the Greek word porneia. This was an excellent Bible study looking at both the Old & New Testament scripture concerning ..saving for the cause of fornication. Math. 5:31-32 As always this brought about discussions that they must be equipped for as an adult that you may not discuss in a normal Bible study.
We then continued our Renaissance study. The older three are working on mini-books while Daniel will be doing notebooking pages. Since we covered a few topics today I let Daniel pick what topic he wanted to do a notebooking page instead of him trying to do them all.He choose the Black Death which we studied in a previous WB in more detail. We also studies a few other topics so this was a great review and they are able to put the puzzle peaces together where these things happened as we look at the Renaissance time period.
So today we looked at:

• Printing press (Gutenberg)
• Bubonic Plague
• Renaissance men & women
• reformers- Martin Luther & John Calvin

WB 26 Insights Through Invest.& Renaissance

Today we began the Insights through Investigations resource and it is memory Monday so we reviewed past WB verses.

We then began our study on the Renaissance period. I always try to do 2 weeks history & 2 weeks science each month with each Wisdom Booklet.

Here are some of the tools I will be using for this study.

• Hands of a Child Renaissance lapbook http://www.handsofachild.com/shop/The-Renaissance-Project-Pack-P571.aspx
• Dk Renaissance book (Warning I had to use many stickers in this book!!!! would not recommend taking it out from the library and only use if you are willing to marker or cover pictures with stickers) it sure reflects the rebirth of Ancient Greece & Rome.
• Big Book of World History ~* I will be adding some mini-book ideas from this book
• Renaissance by Carson & Dellosa

I am placing all my mini-booklets in bags until I decide how I want to make the lapbook or place them in a notebook. One tip cut the corner of the bags to keep the air from being trapped inside

Today our study was"

• The Renaissance
• spread of the Renaissance
• Medieval vs. Renaissance

Peter Rabbit Lapbook~Hands of a Child

Today I sat down with Job and finished the lapbook on Peter Rabit we began at the TOG co-op last Tuesday. I purchased the DK Ultimate Peter Rabbit Sticker book to decorate and use the front as the cover of the lapbook. Job enjoyed decorating the lapbook and I helped him organize what are of the lapbook to put them in like the picture of the author etc. Angelina then pulled out the puppets and reacted the story to them reading the book which they enjoyed.
