Mrs. K's "Cozy Little Cabin" Class 5, "S"

This Class covers the letter "S" and and the number 8. It includes many "friends" that start with "S" as well as planting "S"eeds. The story is by Eric Carle called " The Very Busy Spider." Due to Youtube's 15-minute limit on uploaded videos during the Covid-19 pandemic (which necessitated this series), Mrs. Kapanka has to move from topic to topic much faster than would happen in a normal morning at school. It is recommended to watch the video through, make note of what you might need to watch it again pushing pause whenever you want to suplement with your own thoughts or activities. For instance, after Mrs. K show the pillow about friendship, it would be good to look up Provers 27:17. "Iron sharpens iron, and so one [friend] sharpens another."

Parental thoughts related to this session include two poems by Mr. Kapanka:
"Hope without the S," points out the difference in meaning between the word "HOPE" when we add an "S" (HOPES) and the word when it is singular.

The second is "Please Send Our Roots Your Rain," a word picture that compares our need for strenghth from God during difficult times.
