Bible 
"In everything you do put God first and He will direct you|.  Proverbs 3:6
 Reading from The Jesus Storybook Bible.
We read about John Paton.  We discussed thankfulness and appreciativeness. 

Language Arts  
We completed daily printing practice through A Reason for Handwriting as well as The Complete Writer.
We completed a unit in spelling.  Two of our spelling words were contractions so we discussed what these were and how they work. 
We discussed verbs as doing an action, showing a stae of being and linking two words together.To illustrate this point we made chains of paper.  On the first paper we put a noun, on the middle paper we put a verb (am, is, it, are, be, being been) and on the final paper an adjective.  We put them together to form a chain so the kids could see the verb in the middle linking the other two words together.

{The middle link says, "are"}

 We also played a game linking words to make a sentence, again illustrating the linking verb in the middle.
 The kids also narrated a story.
