Q1W1 - History

     This week we setup the History section of the notebooks and discussed the leading idea and Biblical principle. We discussed the purpose and need for government and of a constitution. We defined Christian self-government and its application in the home and during schooltime. I typed up a school constitution and went over it with the boys and then we signed it and I hung it up in our classroom area and also made copies for their notebooks.

Q1W1 - Literature

     This week in literature we setup the section in the notebooks and created a cover title page. We defined literature as learning through books. We discussed the purpose of literature and the qualities of literature. With D, I defined psalms as poems; prayers to God; and praise songs to God. I identified the book of Psalms as poetry and explained how the book of Psalms illustrates the Principle of Unity with Diversity.

Q1W1 - Geography

     This week we set up the geography section of the notebook and made a cover title page. We defined geography as the study of the Earth God has made. We discussed the Biblical foundation of geography and also defined and discussed creation and the Creator.

     For geography this year my Kindergartener, D, will be studying in the first quarter: the Earth in its universal setting; the Earth and its shape; the world map and the globe; the Earth, created by God, as a dwelling place for man and the stage for his activities; and divisions, or elements of the surface of the Earth; in the second quarter: direction; individuality of the physical world map, the map standard; and waters of the Earth; in the third quarter: land masses of the Earth; and the Continents of History; in the fourth quarter: the Continents of History continued; and the Chain of Christianity moves west with the study of Jamestown Colony, John Smith, and the Atmosphere of the Earth.

Q1W1 - Science

     For science this week we made the cover title pages for the notebooks. We talked about the Biblical foundation of science, how science began from the very mouth of God when He spoke all things into existence in six days.  We defined science as the expression of God's creative power; the study of God's orderly world; and the knowledge of God's creation. We also discussed the importance of studying science by reading some Scripture verses. With my 2nd Grader, S, we also discussed the purpose of science and a simplified version of the scientific method.

     For science this year my Kindergartener, D, will be studying human anatomy and physiology in the first and second quarter; meteorology in the second quarter; zoology in the second and third quarter; ecology in the third quarter; and botany in the fourth quarter.
     For science this year by 2nd Grader, S, will be studying geology in the first and second quarters; astronomy in the second and third quarter; and botany in the third and fourth quarter. S is really excited to do a volcano experiment in quarter one week five.

Q1W1 - Art

     We do art twice a week, on the first day the 2nd Grader does an Art With A Purpose lesson and the Kindergartener does his Kumon books, which include -- More Let's Color, Let's Fold, More Let's Cut Paper, My First Book of Tracing, and Make a Match: Level 1, and on the second day do some type of artist study and project.
     This week we did the first lesson in artpac 2 which focuses on coloring, cutting, & pasting skills.

















     I am not including pictures of what the Kindergartener did with his Kumon books, because they are to numerous. In about 20 minutes he did nine activities each in the matching and tracing books, one coloring page, three cutting pages, and four folding pages, before I told him that was enough and he could do more next week.
   
     On the second day of art we started an artist study of Fra Angelico and studied his fresco of The Adoration of the Magi, which he did in San Marco, Florence in a monk's cell in a Dominican Monastery in 1445.
     We learned that a fresco is a painting that is done on either wet or dry plaster on a wall and that this particular fresco was the same shape and size as the window in the cell. Fresco's, when painted on wet plaster lasted longer and could only be done in the amount of time that a painter could paint in about 10 hours.
     I only have a picture of my 2nd Grader's fresco, because my Kindergartener decided that after he painted his fresco that it would look better if he used it as play-dough, and so he no longer has a fresco.

This fresco was made using Watercolor's and a flour paste for the plaster.

     Normally a fresco is made with Plaster of Paris, but since we did not have any, I made a flour "plaster" instead.

Q1W1 - BAR/Reading

     BAR is Bible as Reader this is part of the Noah Plan curriculum and is part of the reading curriculum. We are doing this three times a week and the other two days the 2nd Grader will be using Pathway Readers Days Go By (DGB) & More Days Go By (MDGB).

     This quarter the 2nd Grader will be going through the book of Mark, so this week we covered the vital statistics of the book of Mark and made a cover page for this subject. He also did a workbook page and read a story from the DGB reader & workbook.

     With my Kindergartener we went over a very brief, as in one paragraph per bible, history of the English Bible to the King James Bible and made a cover page for this subject.

Q1W1 - Bible

     We have finished Q1W1 for Bible in the Noah Plan lessons for K & 2nd Grade.  We start our day with prayer, the song we are memorizing, and our memory verse box.
          The Song: Am I a Soldier of the Cross? by Isaac Watts
          The Memory Verse Box:
               2nd Grade:
                    Sunday School verse - Hebrews 13:17;
                    Bible verse - Proverbs 1:7
               Kindergarten:
                    Sunday School verse: Ephesians 6:7
                    Bible verse: Genesis 1:1
     Next, we went over the Notebook Standard of Form (NSF), this is the way that we are setting up our Bible notebook and how they are to take care of their notebook. We will cover this for each new subject, because most of the subject's notebooks are set up slightly differently, with different tabs, etc.
     We discussed the purpose of the notebook; this is why we are keeping a notebook and the notebook grading sheet.
     We also went over the Bible overview for the year. Then we created the Bible cover page. This page has a title, picture - either to draw and color or to color, 2nd Grader had a Scripture verse, and at the bottom was the student's name and grade.

      Next, we discussed the memory verse for this week and I defined any unfamiliar vocabulary in the verse.
      Then I explained the Leading Idea & Biblical Principle and defined any unfamiliar vocabulary in them.

      Then for the Kindergartener I explained the purpose of the Bible and how the Bible is our guide for life, and for the 2nd Grader I explained and discussed the key to being wise as it pertains to his memory verse.

      To finish off the week the Kindergartener was shown how the Bible has two divisions, the Old Testament and the New Testament, and the 2nd Grader was shown how the Bible has different types of books within the two divisions, the Old Testament - Law, History, Poetry, Major Prophets, & Minor Prophets, and the New Testament - Gospels, History, Paul's Letters, a Letter to the Jewish Christians, Letters to the Entire Church, & Prophecy.

     One thing that I have decided after finishing this week is that I do not think that I will be making more notebook pages than are suggested in the lesson plan, so expect to just see one or two pages each week for each child in the coming weeks.

Word Study Wednesday ~ History

Using Webster's 1828 Dictionary in 2 Volumes.
Step I: Find Key Words
HIS'TORY, noun.
   [Greek ιστορία; Latin Spanish Portuguese historia; Italian istoria; French histoire; Irish sdair, stair; Saxon stair, ster, probably from the Latin; Welsh ysdori, history, matter of record, what is of concern or in mind, from ysdawr, an object of care or concern, from dawr, to care, to he concerned, to regard. The Greek ισορ signifies knowing, learned, and ισορεω is rendered to inquire, to explore, to learn by inspection or inquiry. This would seem to be connected with Welsh ystyriaw, to consider, to regard or take notice. History and story are the same word differently written.]

1. An account of facts, particularly of facts respecting nations or states; a narration of events in the order in which they happened, with their causes and effects. History differs from annals. Annals relate simply the facts and events of each year, in strict chronological order, without any observations of the annalist. History regards less strictly the arrangement of events under each year, and admits the observations of the writer. This distinction however is not always regarded with strictness.
    History is of different kinds, or treats of different subjects; as a history of government, or political history; history of the christian church, or ecclesiastical history; history of war and conquests, or military history; history of law; history of commerce; historyof the crusades, &c. In these and similar examples, history is written narrative or relation. What is the historyof nations, but a narrative of the follies, crimes and miseries of man?
2. Narration; verbal relation of facts or events; story. We listen with pleasure to the soldier or the seaman, giving a historyof his adventures.
   What histories of toil could I declare?          Pope.
3. Knowledge of facts and events.
   History—is necessary to divines.                       Watts.
4. Description; an account of things that exist; as natural history, which comprehends a description of the works of nature, particularly of animals, plants and minerals; a history of animals, or zoology; a history of plants.
5. An account of the origin, life and actions of an individual person. We say, we have a concise history of the prisoner in the testimony offered to the court. A formal written account of an individual's life, is called biography.

Step II: Define Key Words
ACCOUNT', noun.
  [French conte; Italian conto; Spanish cuenta; Armoric count; an account, reckoning, computation. Formerly writers used accompt from the French compte. See Count.]

4. Narrative; relation; statement of facts; recital of particular transactions and events, verbal or written; as an account of the revolution in France. Hence, 
5. An assigmnent of reasons; explanation by a recital of particular transactions, given by a person in an employment, or to a superior, often implying responsibility.
    Give an account of thy stewardship. Luke, xvi.

     Without responsibility or obligation.

     He giveth not account of his matters. Job, xxxiii.

FACT, noun.
   [Latin factum, from facio, to make or do; French fait; Italian fatto; Spanish hecho.]

1. Any thing done, or that comes to pass; an act; a deed; an effect produced or achieved; an event. Witnesses are introduced into court to prove a fact. Facts are stubborn things. To deny a fact knowingly is to lie.
2. Reality; truth; as, in fact. So we say, indeed.

NARRA'TION, noun.
   [Latin narratio.]

1. The act of telling or relating the particulars of an event; rehearsal; recital.
2. Relation; story; history; the relation in words or writing, of the particulars of any transaction or event, or of any series of transactions or events.

EVENT', noun.
   [Latin eventus, evenio; e and venio, to come; French evenement; Italian and Spanish evento.]

1. That which comes, arrives or happens; that which falls out; any incident good or bad.
   There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked. Ecclesiastes ix.

Step III: Scripture References

from www.biblegateway.com

I could not find any direct references to the word "history", but I found the following passages that mention learning about the past.

Psalm 78:2-7

King James Version (KJV)

² I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
³ Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
⁴ We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of theLord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
⁵ For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
⁶ That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
⁷ That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

Deuteronomy 32:7-9

King James Version (KJV)

⁷ Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
⁸ When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
⁹ For the Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

Psalm 44:1-3

King James Version (KJV)

44 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

² How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
³ For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

The following passage shows how God has control of our past:

Daniel 2:20-23

King James Version (KJV)

²⁰ Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
²¹ And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
²² He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
²³ I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.

Acts 17:26

King James Version (KJV)

²⁶ And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

In the following passage Luke mentions how in the past history has been recorded, and now how he is going to follow that example and record the happenings during his lifetime:

Luke 1:1-4

King James Version (KJV)

1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,

² Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
³ It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
⁴ That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.

Step IV:
I have replaced the key words with their definitions (in red and underlined) and any other changes have been done in red.

HIS'TORY, noun.
  A narrative of anything done, or that comes to pass, particularly of  anything done, or that comes to pass  respecting nations or states; an act of telling or relating the particulars of any incident good or bad in the order in which it happened, with its causes and effects.

Personal Definition
   History is the narrative of anything that has happened, from the view point of the narrator, in the order that it occurred with its causes and effects.
