Continued Airport Stuff

We spent part of this week reviewing the airport/airplane stuff from last week. For the class opener, we did a two-minute list of countries. We started with countries of Europe, but they liked it so much that we did two more: Asia and states (of the US).

I took the same matching game (airport terms) from last week, and two teams raced against each other to see who could match them correctly first. They liked that, too. They love a good race around here... We then discussed/reviewed the terms.

I created a worksheet of sentences with fill-in-the-blanks for them to correctly use the terms in context (unfortunately, I cannot find an electronic copy of the worksheet on my computer...can't think of where I saved it...).

After the worksheet, I assigned each group a country. Their assignment was to create a packing list for a trip to that country. One team had Jamaica and the other had Switzerland. The first thing on both lists was "money." Ha.

Our "theme" for this week's quotations was "direction."

1. "Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction." -John F. Kennedy

2. "The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life." -Plato

3. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not trust your own wisdom. In everything you do, acknowledge Him, and He will give you direction." -Proverbs 3:5-6 (Bible).

Great discussions followed these quotes. They really got into discussing them and figuring out how they would apply to life.
