Bible - We are half way through the Devotional. I also bought a Rod & Staff Coloring book with Bible stories. That should arrive in the mail shortly. I decided against doing a more formal Bible study now and just focus on Jesus in prayer and in everyday life.
Math - Squeak started Singapore Primary 1A this past week. We completed Chapter 2 last night. After 3 nights of Number Bonds, Squeak said that she understood and "let's move on!". I'm only doing Chapters 2-6 in 1A. I'm not going to waste time going over shapes and weights and measures as Squeak already knows this stuff. We are still working in Horizons Math 1 as well.
Science - We covered a couple of different habitats this week such as rainforests and oceans and grasslands. Squeak made a book of seas and ocean animals. As I type this, she is painting the background for an ocean scene.
Other stuff - We have two test tubes in our Hydroponic Lab going. But first, we ran an experiment to see which pea seeds would germinate faster -
Squeak has also been working more complex puzzles in her Patternables book. We are still reading through our Ralph S Mouse book.
God Bless you this week!!
Will she go immediately into K or will you take a break? Her handwriting seems very good to me. I can't wait to hear more about her work with SM 1-A. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your response on my blog. Yes, we've spoken briefly about Horizons Math. I wasn't planning to use it, but I did end up getting the K book 1. We haven't started it yet. R is working rather quickly (his choice... he does several pages each sitting) through SM Essential Kindergarten Math A. It's pretty easy for him, but he loves it. We're also using the Activities for the AL Abacus as our main spine. It begins with showing quantities with fingers and goes all the way through division and more. I thought it sounded like a good investment. If you ever want to chat, I'm RockerMom on that huge forum we both frequent. :)
