Hello Trinity Families!
My computer is in the shop so Thomas is letting me borrow his laptop to post. We had a busy day Tuesday. We discussed the mill in the lit book that Uncle Jed repaired. Then we baked bread! I hope it made it home for you to sample. Many thanks to Mrs. Victoria, she was quite busy!
We dove deeper into the human body with some library books. Also, we traced ourselves and glued on our brains and hearts! We'll continue this over the next few weeks. In Latin, we did some reviewing and I plan to do even more next time. Please don't press on into Lesson 7. I know the children have already written those words three times. They will just be ahead when we do get into Lesson 7.
In history we flew our magic carpet to four different locations--the U.S., Japan, the Dutch East Indies, and the Ottoman Empire. Bible involved acting out the selling of Esau's birthright. (Acting out is our favorite activity!) It was a fun day and I think your children learned.
Be safe this weekend! Behavior was better, I'm proud of my students.
love to all. . .
Mrs. Tkach

assignments for 10/27/09
Dear Families,
I'm sorry to be posting my blog so late. We had a good Tuesday.
I am concerned about behavior and kindness to our friends. I will be addressing this with the children next time. I will contact any of you individually if I feel there is a need.
We acted out some history events. Ask you child which South American country they played. We tasted some yummy oatmeal and then some watery gruel like Will (from our lit book) had to eat. We went outside and hauled a bucket of water like Meg had to do every day. We began our study of the human body and colored our brain and looked at pictures from my ancient World Book encyclopedia. We had some technical difficulties so we didn't go far in our memory work. I plan to not go further next time and spend a week in review of the first eight weeks.
Fall is a busy time at my house. As always, I appreciate you and your children praying for me as I lay plans for our class.
Until Tuesday. . .
Much love to all. . .
Mary Ann
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. read chapter 17 in Bible
2. review week 8 memory work
3. read chapter 6--11 in Shades of Gray
4. skim/read chapter 8 and 9 in SOTW
5. complete lesson 6 exercises in latin. On Monday, write the latin words and their translation from lesson 7 three times each.

a brief recount of our day and assignments for 10/20/09
Good Afternoon!
Since I took up so much of your time with my e-mail, this will be short. Ask your student about our day. Here are some phrases to jog their memory: Robert E. Lee's character, important civil war battles and where they mostly occurred, listening to the Rebel Yell!, presenting our map to the school, can our Mom have the faith necessary to save us, Addie, the struggle within ourselves between doing right or wrong, etc.
For next time:
1. Read chapter 15 in the Bible Story Book.
2. Practice memorizing Week 7 memory work
3. Read Chapters 1--5 of Shades of Gray.
4. Read/Skim chapters 6 & 7 of SOTW. (As I get your responses to my e-mail, this may change.)
5. Complete Lesson 5 in your Latin book. (Again, I'll let you know over the weekend but you may need to write lesson 6's vocab and meanings 3 times on Monday October 19.)
Make good use of this dreary weather and get lots of quality reading done!
love,
Mrs. Tkach

assignments for 10/13/09
Good Morning!
We had a busy Tuesday! Many thanks to Mrs. Victoria, Spencer's mom, for assisting us yesterday. Thanks to Amelia, also, for the cookie snack!
We had some great discussion during Bible time and had fun acting out the confusion that must have occurred at the tower of Babel when their languages were changed. We were treated to a performance over in the choir suite by some actors representing slaves. Mrs. Fowler arranged this and it was moving. They taught us some Negro Spirituals and taught us about Praise Houses and the codes hidden in the spirituals they sang.
We spent time rolling the dice and reviewing our memory work. We are not doing as well lately. Be sure to work on the week assigned at home. We seem better at the older ones than with the more recent ones. I still have a hope that we can present the Veritas cards memory work to the whole school at some future point. Perhaps the history sentences as well.
For literature we talked about how much of what Robert E. Lee was taught by his mother came straight from scripture. We discussed how we can deny self and consider one another more highly than we do ourselves. Not easy at any age, but especially hard for children. We asked God to help us to do so this week. We also tasted some boiled meat and potatoes as was served at West Point while Lee was there. I did not have any soup with cockroaches or bread pudding with mice!
In lit we started a project of making a large map of the south--we are going to mount it on a board and make small figures from clay to go on it. We will locate the major battles of the war. Hopefully it will be ready to show at our meeting next week. We spent a great deal of time on Latin. I plan to devise a new way to write the words and meanings because the children are frustrated. It may be as simple as a bigger piece of paper. There was alot of info in this lesson and I will probably review some of it before moving on to the next one.
We did not get to our maps due to the length of the slave presentation. I will double up our time with them next week.
Please don't forget our 3:00 meeting next time. If you can't make it, I will be sure you get a good summary of what we discussed. Enjoy teaching your children this week!
love,
Mrs. Tkach
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Read ch. 13 in the Bible Story Book.
2. Practice memorizing Week 6 memory work. Reminder: I do not cover Latin or English in class.
3. Finish reading the Lee book.
4. The schedule I was given for SOTW calls for us to press onto chapter 6. However, I am going to wait and spend another week on the Civil War. We'll omit or touch lightly on a future chapter.
Any reading or research you do with your child on the Civil War would be great. I'll ask them about it next time.
5. Discuss the derivatives I gave you in class during Latin. Complete the sections we did not do in class. Don't forget the optional worksheets you have in the back of your book.

A Calmer Tuesday and assignments for 10/6/09
Good Morning!
Thank you, Lord, for the coolness of fall! We had a really nice day yesterday. I hope you've heard some of what we did from your student. We were a bit less active and enjoyed reading and staying close to our classroom all day. Lately, we've been out and about the church grounds and neighborhood; so it was nice to stay close and calm and get more accomplished.
I'm sure you've heard about Addie. She's an American Girl and we are reading about her life as a slave and the escape she and her mother are making. We'll finish the book next time. Your children are spell-bound and so am I. This book is very well written and recommended in SOTW. I'm afraid I wrote the American Girl series off in my mind as frivolous and not serious and this book is proving me wrong.
We illustrated some scenes from our Bible readings and Mrs. Nuelle posted them on our wall. Stop in and see them next week. We listened to the story of the ark and discussed how it is a "type" of Christ. It was the only way to avoid destruction. It had one way in. It was sealed by God. These all represent what Christ provided for us on the cross. Food for thought!
We discussed how fortunate we are to live right here in the midst of history. I explained how I studied the events of the Civil War while growing up way over in Texas. In Beaufort County, we are able to walk outside and see and be where it all actually happened. We discussed the secession of the southern states, the Battle of Gettysburg, and watched a video about Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
I think everyone but me was pleased when we bid farewell to Sandburg's Abe Lincoln. We went downstairs and sang "O to Grace How Great a Debtor" with my piano playing. This was a song he sang in church. We, also, discussed how the people of the frontier took what they learned from the Bible and applied it to their daily lives. We reasoned that we should do so, as well.
We enjoyed using our maps and quizzing each other about the locations and capitals of the states we've studied so far. The children continue to amaze me with their memory work. I'm contemplating an exhibition of their memorization of the Veritas cards at some time in the future when the whole school is gathered. I'm very proud of them.
We worked hard in Latin because the vocab list was long this week. They are attentive and I know I'm learning from this curriculum. It will be worth the hard work we are putting in.
Thank you for praying for my Joseph. His father was able to spend a few hours with him on Friday and talk with the staff in the infirmary. His shoulder should heal nicely with the use of a fancy sling and there doesn't appear to be a need for surgery. Thank you, again.
Students, let's work hard at our studies this week, as if we are doing it for our Lord. Honor your parents because they do much for you and . . .because God instructs you to. Remember to take what your learn from the Bible and apply it in your lives. Let us pray for one another and for Trinity. We all need God's help to live in a manner honoring to His name. (Too bad I can't pass a cyber offering plate because I sure got "preachy" didn't I?)
love to all,
Mrs. Tkach
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Read chapter 11 in the Bible Story Book.
2. Practice memorizing Week 5 memory work. For now, we will not be reviewing the latin or the grammar sections in class.
3. Read through page 53 (chapter 5) in the R. E. Lee book
4. Read the second half of chapter 5 in SOTW.
5. Review the derivatives I gave you in class. See if you and your parent can think of others. Complete sections B, C, D, E, and F of lesson 3 in your Latin book. It is highly encouraged in my teacher's manual that the students write each word and its meaning three times at the start of the lesson. We attempt to do this in class. However, my students are at all different levels in handwriting speed so many do not finish. I would like these to be finished at home.

Tuesday's Events and Assignments for 9/22/09
Good Morning!
We had a great day learning yesterday. We talked about God's Word and the stories of creation. Anyone answering questions correctly were treated to giant "Smarties". We enjoyed brownies from Spencer as we celebrated his birthday. Mrs. Hatchell was our helper and worked very hard. Thank you!
We began our latin books and I'm excited about this curriculum. I know that I'm learning from how the material is presented and I hope our students will as well. We had a little difficulty getting the DVD player and TV situated but should have those bugs worked out for next week.
We talked about showing respect to St. Helena for allowing Trinity to operate in their building. I saw great improvement in our hall behavior and I'm very proud of the students for that.
The children are still astounding me with their memory work. Everyone's favorite is the Veritas Cards. I enjoy those as well. We launched into our Abe Lincoln book and I find that overall we are disappointed in the choice. I take full responsibility because I chose the book and fought to keep it on our list. Hopefully the children will be a bit more interested after yesterday's activities and discussion. Even if it's not one of our favortites, I know the students will benefit from being exposed to this work of literature. In conjunction with the book, we were each put in stocks for various crimes. Many thanks to my husband for constructing them for us. We also sat and listened to the water at the courtyard fountain and relaxed and thought of young Abe's mom doing so with him when he was a baby. Lastly, we practiced running backwards to throw off any Indians that might pursue us.
In history, we discussed David Livingstone and looked at some pictures of him and his family. We then proceeded to act out the difficulties of traveling the rivers of Africa with our treasured animals to be dropped off at various ports. Ask your student what we used for a 'boat' and what we said was the waterfall we had to get past. It was a fun activity. We also had a painting activity to represent how Afghanistan was a buffer between Russia and India. Ask your child about that as well.
For a science activity, we saw a drop of water and how it acts as a magnifier.
I'm still working on geography because I want to take that subject well past just memorizing the states and capitals. Mrs. Hatchell has located a blank map of the U.S. that is 17" by 22". We could laminate it and use wipe-off markers so that we could use it all year. The goal I'm reaching for is for the students to be able to draw the US map and label the states with capitals. The cost for the map is $6.95 and I think Staples would charge $3 or so to laminate them. Please e-mail me your thoughts on this additional expense. Here is the web site: http://www.geomatters.com/search/results.asp?S=blank+US+map. I would like each student to have their own.
Please be sure your student brings their latin book and the literature book we're studying to each class.
I hope you each have a great week with your children--I'm enjoying my time with them very much!
Until Tuesday. . .
love,
Mrs. Tkach
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Read Chapter 4 in SOTW. I will no longer be doing maps from SOTW in class. If anyone does not have the activity book and wants copies with directions to complete this activity at home, please let me know.
2. Work on Week 3 memory work. Reminder: On youtube there is a video of the Classical Conversations group in Lake Norman and their hand motions. These are the ones I use in class with your children.
3. Read through chapter 19 in Abe Lincoln Grows Up. Optional: Read through the Wilderness Road hand out. It was referenced in our book. Also, you might enjoy laughing at the lingo matching activity we did in class
4. Read lesson 7 in our Bible Story book.
5. For Latin, complete all parts of Lesson One--exercises A,B,C,D, and E. Usually we will complete A in class but because of equipment difficulties we were unable to do so. Here are the derivatives for the students to fill in (we discussed these in class)
1. Puerile
2. Puerile
3. Liberty ("liberi" is related to the Latin word for "free")
4. Salvation, Salve
5. Value
6. Amateur, amiable
They do not need to list derivatives for numbers 7 through 10.
Also for Latin, they brought home a sheet we worked on in class. We wrote each vocabulary word and its meaning three times. If they did not finish, they should do so at home. We'll do this every week.
