Weekly Report 2/14 - 2/18

Another busy and exciting week!

Bible- Jesus has been performing miracles and angering the Jewish leaders this week...

(Rod & Staff Bible Stories and Coloring)

I also ordered BJU Bible Truths K5 to work on when we complete R&S Bible. I already have Bible Truths 1 but would like to save that for the fall. We should have R&S completed next month.

Math - Squeak took a break from working in Unit 3 this week and worked in Unit 4 - Multiplication. She has already been exploring multiplication with her Cuisenaire Rods so this unit was not "new". But she did enjoy the concept change. After completing this Unit, we'll head back to the addition/subtraction unit.

I did order and receive SM 2a this week. Looking through it, there are about three concepts that will be new (thanks to Horizons 1 already going into 100's Place Value). I do plan on working in Horizons 2 before moving onto Singapore 2a. I would like Squeak to be at least 5 years old before starting 2a.

Science - Squeak completed Sonlight Science K!!!!! She was very interested in Physics and Isaac Newton. We are going to begin Noeo Chemistry I on Monday. I need to set up her class and lab notebook this weekend. I think Noeo is going to be a hit!!

History - We started reading Pedro's Journal in history. Pedro is a young man who is sailing to Indian on Christopher Columbus' ship, the Santa Maria. To go along with this book, I printed out the notebooking pages from the Hands and Hearts project kit, hole punched them and put them in a folder. Squeak journaled about her day on Thursday (she drew pictures) and colored an Indian last night while I read from the book.

She enjoys notebooking, which is great because Noeo involves so much notebooking.

Other - Squeak is reading through "I Can Read God's Word" - aloud to me. She has also been working in her BJU Spelling book this week. I am not following any sort of schedule with the BJU Spelling...I'm using it mainly to practice handwriting and to work on reading. And she likes it!

We went to library story time and worked a few crafts.
