After the storm, Papa keeps his promise to Sarah and teachers her to driver the wagon so she can go to town herself. Caleb and Anna are frightened. The only reason the children can see for Sarah's trip to town is to leave them. Why else would she want to be by herself?
On the following day, Sarah gets dressed and kisses them goodbye as she leaves for town. The day goes by slowly. Caleb sees a yellow bonnet in the distance as the children watch for Sarah on the front porch.
Caleb shares his worries with Sarah- that her thought she would leave them because she missed the sea. Sarah said she would miss Papa and the children more. Then she showed them her purchases while in town- colored pencils for their pictures of the sea, candles for diner and seeds for her garden and a book of songs to sing.
What we will cover in this chapter-
Language arts-(writing, making connections)
Fine Arts- (Making Jewelry)
Extra Fun-(Watching the Movie)
Field Trip- ( Cahoon Museum, Art Class)
Language Arts-(Writing, and Making connections) The kids continued with their journal. After reading the nine chapter they had to complete a worksheet answering questions about the story and colored a picture of the family.They also made predictions, wrote chapter titles, asked question, and made connections about the story. (I used www.teacherspayteachers.com for the journal paperwork.)
Fine Arts- (Making Jewelry)
It took about a week for the rock tumbler to finish polishing the rocks but it was worth it. The kids enjoyed making jewelry with their finished rocks.
Extra Fun-(watching the Movie)
We borrowed the movie Sarah Plain and Tall from the library. Lily and Aj loved the story and characters.
Field Trip- ( Cahoon Museum, Art Class)
Lily and Aj took an art class today. We also had the opportunity to explore the Cahoon Museum. What a great experience!
*The class description: Marine animals have been featured in art throughout the centuries. We will look at the way some artists have represented these animals in the past and then create our own. Two dimensional and three-dimensional options/materials will be available.
Lily and Aj Enjoyed the reading story and completing the activities that went along with book Sarah Plain and Tall. After reading the story the kids and I reflected back over the story and decided that the author did a great job writing and telling the story about the Witting family! We cant wait to read the other books in this series including Skylark.
Thanks for Reading!
