We received another Flat person letter, this time from Moscow, Russia. Flat Jack went to visit his mom's cousin who lives in Russia. It was an exciting letter with many photos of his time in Moscow. Please let us know where your Flat person is traveling. We love to keep up on all the activities.
We also began a lesson on Abraham Lincoln. Today we covered his early years up to his time in the US Congress. I gave the children a very brief lesson on our political parties. I would love to know if any of them bring this up in conversation. Next week we'll finish our Abe Lincoln lesson and the booklet will come home at that time.
Last, we created patterns with beads as part of our visual/spatial lessons in PETS. I introduced expanding patterns. This is a very difficult task. While most of the kids were able to figure out expanding patterns, making them is a more difficult task. Most of the kids made the same pattern, which they will see next week when we finish this activity. They will be bringing home pattern necklaces for you to see the pattern they created.
Book order forms were also sent home with those children that chose to take a packet. If you like to view them online check out the directions in my earlier Book Order post on this blog.
