Weekly Report (4/12 - 4/16)

Despite protests from Squeak: next week is SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!

Bible - We started reading from another Bible book I have. It contained Bible stories - one page is the story and the other page is a picture. I decided that we needed something more to add into our "Bible" mix! It's working out well.

Math - Squeak has been going through both Horizons K and Horizons 1. This week, she worked only out of Horizons 1. Two new concepts she encountered were "greater than" and "less than" and "equal" and "not equal". Not hard at all except trying to write a signs for greater than and less than!

I plan on beginning Singapore PM 1a shortly and I recently printed out MEP Year 1a. I thought about trying that out and see how it goes. I'm not trying to "dump" a bunch of math programs on Squeak, I'm just trying to find what fits and works best for her. I would like her working from at least two programs mainly to give her some different ways to mathematically approach concepts and to slow her down a bit.

We will have math once more tonight then we are done for a week. I told Squeak to get in as much math as she can - LOL!

Science - Here are some pictures of this week's science activities:

I guess I only took these pictures from today: we made a bottle garden that never needs watering. We also learned about rivers and mountains and deserts.

Other stuff - Here are the girls playing with linking cubes (free play):

And I bought Squeak the book called "Patternables". She zipped through a bunch of pages so fast that I had to tell her to stop so I could take pictures!

We also began reading Runaway Mouse - the next Ralph S Mouse book! She is very interested in those books! I want to introduce the Ramona books once we finish the third Ralph book.


God bless!!
