A rather productive week...again! LOL! We will probably have another "normal" week next week then on light duty the week of the 20th. Next Monday, we are going to head to the Science Museum. Squeak has been asking to go and Daddy is going to be able to come as well.
Bible - Jesus has ascended to heaven leaving His Holy Spirit and Stephen has been martyred.
Math - I looked through the last three sections I have clipped in Horizons 1 and there is really nothing new except for addition with re-grouping. So my plan is to let Squeak work what she wants within those last three sections then introduce re-grouping. That way, we can stretch out Horizons 1 until the end of the month because I don't want to start Horizons 2 until January. So I'm just going to let her piddle through with what she wants to do then intro into re-grouping the last week of this month.
Science - Next week, we will begin Week 26 in Sonlight Science. I may have a change in plans when we complete SL K. We are probably going to detour to Noeo Chemistry I before resuming with Sonlight Science 1. Squeak is showing strong interest in Chemistry so I figured it would be fun to detour now - before we have to report. Here is Squeak pointing out a planet that has MORE gravity than Earth:
Packy - I may have another "math geek" on my hands! This past week, Packy threw 21 checkers at Squeak and counted each and every one correctly while throwing them! She has also been counting the little pictures on the flash cards that we keep in the school drawers. She also counts basically anything including the little grooves on the printer! Very cute!
Read alouds - This past week, I've been reading the Peak With Books booklist mainly. And we read a few chapters in The Magic School Bus.
Crafts - All sorts of different things: Christmas trees, snowflakes, and the girls worked on an egg carton Menorah:


Ooh! Love the egg carton Menorah!
ReplyDeleteYou've got a really cute counter there!

Looks like you had a great week! The menorah is very cute!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your hands-on projects.
ReplyDeleteThat Menorah is really cool. I thought it was store bought until I ready your text.
