Sound & Helen Keller

Learning about the ear and sound -

Colin started to put together a 3D diagram of the ear today. Now we just have to make sure we know what all those parts mean!

Helen Keller & Sound

We'll be starting Concept 3 over the weekend or on Monday. (Yes, you read that correctly. My poor son does school on the weekends! But that's only to make up for days off and his mother's insane schedule during the week)

Concept 3 is "Who Was Helen Keller?"

We will read:

Who Was Helen Keller by Gare Thompson
Alexander Graham Bell by Wil Mara

And coinciding with our Language Arts unit on Helen Keller's Biography, we will do a unit on Sound.

This should be a fun unit - including biography/autobiography, timeline of Helen Keller's life, sign language, our senses, music, inventors and inventions, braille, timeline of Colin Hand's life, more work on the United States and maps, poetry, and our final project: scrapbook or an interview.
