Virtual School Wednesday, May 6th

Hear my prayer, Lord; let my cry for help come to you.   

                      Psalm 102:1

During our Jesus time we will focus on the Psalms. The book of Psalms is a collection of one hundred and fifty works of Hebrew poetry.  They are prayers and praises written to be sung in worship to God.  They cover every possible situation that life could ever throw at us. They are written so God’s people could talk with Him in the midst of the situations of life.  You can use the Psalms to talk with God through the very words of scripture. You can read the them back to God as prayers and songs.
Watch the devotion-

Listen to Mr. and Mrs. Huff worship songs

Reading-Go to Seesaw and listen to me read chapter 4 of Little House in the Big Woods.
After finish reading the posters, booklets, powerpoints and watching the videos of our nonfiction projects.
We are beginning our poetry unit.  Listen to My Parents Took Me to the Store by Ken Nesbit and try to read along with him.
Listen to Shel Silverstein recite Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not take the Garbage Out.

Writing-Go to page 510 in your a Shurley English book.  Follow along on Seesaw as I read over the pages with you about poetry.  Afterwards open up to a page in your writer’s notebook and try doing writing assignment 17 on page 513 in your book.  You could share one of your poems you try at our zoom around the campfire on Thursday.

Spelling-play a game and take a practice spelling test on list 26 on Spellingcity.com. Instead of doing Spelling City you could do any practice activity we have done this year to practice your words.

Social Studies-
I am going to take you on a virtual tour of Mount Clemens to learn about some of the History of our community.  Our first stop is going to be the Michigan Transit Museum.  Watch the videos on Seesaw as I traveled by bike to the Michigan Transit Museum and learn about Thomas Edison’s life here.  I even got to go inside the museum for a minute to take a picture of the telegraph.  A worker happened to walk up in the middle of our video shoot, and let us in to take a picture to show you.

The transit museum opened in 1859.



The picture below is the Michigan Transit Museum, Thomas Edison worked here delivering papers when he was 12 years old.  When he was 15 years old he saved the owner’s son from a train accident.   After that the owner promoted him to work on the telegraph machine in the station.  

The Telegraph machine shown above, inspired Thomas Edison with ideas for his future inventions.  He invented the phonograph, a kinetograph,  a long lasting lightbulb, and the wires that carry the electricity to homes. 

The sign tells the Story of Thomas Edison working at the Michigan Transit Museum.
