Weekly Report 8/23 - 8/27

This was our final week of "summer" school before we start official Kindergarten on Monday!  Praise the Lord!

Bible -  We are continuing with the Bible Stories and Coloring until it's complete. Both girls work on these coloring pictures. I have also been reading for the Jesus Wants All of Me devotional. That book is a great find! What a blessing!

Art Project - Squeak made a paper plate bumblebee and between painting and drying, this took three days!

I didn't realize that we did not have black for his stripes! So Squeak just painted him whatever colors looked nice to her.

Science- Mammals and baby mammals were the topics this week. We completed two days in Sonlight Science K covering mammals and baby mammals. Additionally, I found a few pages in the Singapore Science book that corresponded well. Here is our science wall so far:

Math - We are still waiting to begin the final chapter in Singapore 1a. I did order 1b textbook and Intensive Practice books today. Tonight we will work with subtraction and number bonds more.

Other - Squeak also whizzed through a bunch of MightyMind puzzles. I can't believe they are for kids up to age 8.

I made Squeak some "activity drawers" - similar to a workbox system except I keep the stuff in clear plastic drawers and it doesn't include any of our official curriculum (minus handwriting stuff). I plan on using these the nights we don't have math planned yet Squeak wants to do something. I'm trying to keep on top of having things ready for my aggressive learner.

We have also been watching various Leap Frog DVDs as well.

Squeak is doing really well with JumpStart - she is already half way through Unit 2!! Looking ahead, I think unit 7ish will actually have new material for her.

Here is Squeak listening to an audio book:

Packy is also doing well. I had to put all the chairs up because every time I turned away, she would  climb up on the counter!
