Poem: memorize this poem:

It Can Be Done

The man who misses all the fun

Is he who says, "It can't be done."

In solemn pride he stands aloof

And greets each venture with reproof.

Had he the power, he'd efface

The history of the human race;

We'd have no radio or motor cars,

No streets lit by electric stars;

No telegraph or telephone,

We'd linger in the age of stone.

The world would sleep if things were run

By men who say, "It can't be done."

Writing:   Make up a story about sailing with Christopher Columbus.  or living in Jamestown or any of the Colonies.   If you can, write it yourself.  If you need help, dictate it to a family member and they can write it.  Bring it to share.

Scripture: memorize the following scripture and reference. What does it mean to you? 

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;

and lean not unto thine own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge Him 

and He shall direct thy paths.

Be not wise in thine own eyes:

fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

Proverbs 3: 5-7 

Handwriting:  Copy this scripture. Use your best handwriting. 

Watch: Colonial times

Life as a Child in 18th century

Unit Study Year plan:  We are studying 4 time periods this year.  We have 6 weeks in each time period.  The 6th week we will have a time period party.  We want you to come dressed like that day and age.  We would also like you to use these 6 weeks to make something from that time period.  While you are learning, decide on something you want to create and do it! You will bring it to show on the party day.

Some ideas:  make a tri-corn  hat, dip a candle, make a spoon, sew an apron, make a haver sack, make moccasins, make authentic food, whittle a horse, ect...

REMINDER:  We want you to do all the work you are able to do.  You can collect Van-bucks for all the homework you do.  You can earn more Van-bucks when you give us a commercial for any book you finished reading this school year or over the summer.
