Poetry	“Bed in Summer” by Robert Louis Stephenson - just needed a bit of prompting at the beginning of a few stanzas, will continue to practice this poem until he gets it and illustrates it.
Phonics	Lesson 7, tasks 1 - 4 - struggled a bit with task 4, rhyming, will review again tomorrow
Handwriting	One page of handwriting book - worked on letter A
Religion	Ask what God created on the first day, second day, and so on. On a piece of art paper ask him to draw what God made on each day to make a Bible Book. St. Dominic Savio coloring page available, but didn't color.
Math	Explore the clock again, will continue this for a few weeks.
Literature	Read about St. Dominic Savio  and Dragon Pizzeria" by Mary Morgan - it covers a variety of fairy tales for the children to guess as we hear about the calls for the various odd pizza orders.
Music	Class today – includes movement, instruments, and animals

Impromptu Science: We found a spider on the floor in the kitchen and put it into an observation container for a few hours, then released it into a flower patch. Continued observation and care of the Forrest Tent caterpillar - one caterpillar makes a lot of scat.

Closing Prayer: To St. Dominic Savio

O St. Dominic Savio, model of purity, piety, penance and apostolic zeal for youth; grant that, through your intercession, we may serve God in our ordinary duties with fervent devotion and attain the grace of holy joy on earth, that we may one day love God forever in Heaven.

Amen.

Closing Ritual: Blow out the candle
