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!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

His truth is marching on

Multiplication: Work on your 10 times tables 0-12

Unit Study Year plan:  We are studying 4 time periods this year.  We are starting the 4th time period.  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.
