and not a word said she,

but oh, the things I learned from her

when sorrow walked with me.

Song: Finish learning "Battle Hymn of the Republic"

1. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.

He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible, swift sword;

His truth is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

His truth is marching on.

2. I have seen Him in the watchfires

Of a hundred circling camps

They have builded Him an altar

In the evening dews and damps;

I can read His righteous sentence

By the dim and flaring lamps;

His day is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

His truth is marching on.

3. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;

He is sifting out the hearts of men before his judgment seat.

Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer him; be jubilant my feet!

Our God is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

His truth is marching on.

4. In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea,

With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me.

As he died to make men holy, let us live to make men free,

While God is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

His truth is marching on.

The Sun-dial at Well's College

by Henry Van Dyke

The shadow by my finger cast

Divides the future from the past:

Before it, sleeps the unborn hour

In darkness, and beyond thy power:

Behind its unreturning line,

The vanished hour, no longer thine:

One hour alone is in thy hands,—

The NOW on which the shadow stands.

Eureka: Watch these videos to learn about sundials and how they work.

And this video to learn about the history of time-keeping

If we have a sunny day, try making your own sundial. We'll make one at Vanguard if the weather cooperates!

Writing: Take a few minutes to evaluate how you use your time. What are you doing well? How could you improve? Write down a specific goal to improve. This might be an interesting family discussion, as well!

Song: Learn the first verse of the Battle Hymn of the Republic:

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.

He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible, swift sword;

His truth is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

His truth is marching on
