- Read Genesis 12 - 14
- Read A Child's History of the World, pages 20 - 24. We started there because from reading the earlier portions I gather that the author believes in Theistic evolution. When we do Ancient History again when K. is in 9th or 10th grade, I will have her read the first portion of the book, I don't believe it is appropriate to give her other views in kindergarten.
- Here are the points I went over with K. to make sure she understood them:
- ancestors are the people that lived before you did
- history is the story of what happen in these ancestors lifetimes
- B.C. means Before Christ
- A.D. means since the time of Christ
- People settled down and farmed, then built towns, then traded with each other, and then built nations.
- We also found Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and China on the map.
- I read pages 20 and 21 on Monday, then 22 - 24 on Tuesday, and then I read the whole chapter again on Friday. I discovered that she pays better attention if I let her draw or color while I read.
- Wednesday we looked at and discussed pages 8 and 9 in Ancient World. Then we got out the Sculpty Clay and made pots or bowls and decorated them. Then K. decided we needed something in our pots. I made 3 apples for mine and she made cheese, grapes, and a pear for hers. Now I just need to bake them.
- Friday we worked on our timeline. I think I forgot to mention this before. I have a roll of paper that is about 8 inches tall. K. tells me the stories, "What was the first story?" Creation "What story came next?" God made Eve. Then we have The Sad Day (the fall), Noah and the Flood, Tower of Babel, and God Calls Abram. I draw vertical lines to separate the stories and she draws a picture for each story.
