This was our first 3 day school week and it went over pretty well. She did work out of her Never Bored Kid book on the "off days".
Bible- We talked about trees this week and how the Lord made trees to be so important in our lives. We are working our way through Creation right now. Our memory verse is 1 Peter 1:24 and we've been talking about that verse for a couple of weeks because I really like it.
Math- Squeak finished Unit 14 (addition) in Singapore EB B on Wednesday. She did really well with it and was adding x+1 without using the pictures to help. She worked a couple of pages in her Critical Thinking Math book on Friday.
I also have her math "plan" settled. We are going to continue to use Singapore Earlybird K math (with Critical Thinking Company Level A math as a supplement) then we will continue to Horizons K math. Horizons K math takes kids much farther than Earlybird K does and it will give Squeak good review as well as taking the math skills farther. I'm very happy I found a more challenging program than Singapore EB because I would like Squeak to be a bit closer to 5 years old before starting 1st grade math. Actually, the end of Horizons K seems more like beginning 1st grade math so that will be a nice transition. I am planning on using Singapore Math for 1st grade but we will see how well she likes Horizons too.
Moving Beyond the Page - we read about all our habitats this week and I showed her the poster board I made which lists them all. Next week, we are going to make (as a craft) one animal from each habitat. I just need to get some supplies from Wal Mart for this!
Squeak also used starfall.com this week and her math website. She was doing subtraction on her math website last night too - subtraction is the next unit we are starting Monday....I guess she wanted a jump start! LOL!
