We
purchase workbooks for Jenna on occasion – mostly for fun on her part. The last book we got has nine sections –
including three parts of math, four parts of English, Science and Social
Studies.
For
the most part, the vocabulary and Language Arts seem too easy for her, while
the math (for the most part) is spot on.
And she has breezed through writing and social studies.
Page
252 in the social study section shows “The Lady in the Harbor” comic
illustration with trivial facts and pointing arrows
The
crown with seven spikes stands for the seven seas and the seven continents
The
torch is a light that welcomes travelers to the United States
The
tablet shows the Roman numerals of the date the Declaration of Independence was
signed: July 4, 1776
A
foots forward position is a symbol of moving forward into the future
The
Statue of Liberty stands on an island in New York Harbor. She is a symbol of freedom and hope.
Page
253 invites the child to write a poem about what liberty means. And these are the words she used to fill in
each line that spelled out Liberty
Lady Liberty
Is standing by and looking at me
Being so beautiful
Eagerly, I want to hug her
Rare, oh, rare she is
Tall and beautiful
You are pretty liberty
