This morning we began with filming Morgan presenting her poet, Dr. Seuss.
We sent the video to her home school teacher for review. We enjoyed reading through additional presentations by her classmates on Emily Dickinson and Rudyard Kipling. Morgan took relevant notes on each. Next, we finished reading chapter 8 in her novel, The Hiding Place. This chapter is entitled “Storm Clouds Gather” and after reading, we analyzed the meaning behind this title. There are many signs that Corrie and her family are about to get caught for their work in the resistance and hiding people in their homes. We paused throughout our reading several times to recall the events that had just taken place. We analyzed the characters’ actions and feelings for deeper understanding. Finally, we reviewed the degrees of adjectives with an activity in which Morgan chose the proper form from two-choices in a sentence.

Morgan was introduced to her list 10 spelling practice, which included words such as tyranny, suspicious, suburban, and unpredictable. She wrote each word three times each for spelling practice and to gain familiarity with these words. Next, we viewed 3 Google Slide presentations of poet projects from Morgan’s class. Before watching the presentations, we discussed ways to take notes on the slides. We enjoyed learning more about Emily Dickinson, Dr. Seuss, and William Shakespeare taking relevant notes along the way. Finally, we read part of chapter 8 in the book The Hiding Place. We’ve read to the point where Corrie’s sister Nollie has been taken to jail for having a “Jew” in her house. Nollie remains unable to lie in honor of the Lord, even at the risk of the safety of others. We can’t wait to see what happens next!
