Weekly Report: 11/14/2011-11/18/2011

We’re
done! We’re done, we’re done, we’re done, we’re done! Did I mention
we’re done for the year? Yippee!  Now for Yuletide Session.  I’m
planning on a year end wrap up and a Yuletide Session 2011 psot.

Phonics:

R-girl:  learned about to, too, and two today.  NB:
(we’ll keep working on phonics with her over Yuletide Session because
1) she’s this close to reading and 2) I don’t want her to lose her
progress.)

Assigned Reading:

M-girl: is working on Pilgrim Stories. 

N-boy: read several different Thanksgiving books this week. 

Math:

M-girl:
worked on adding up to 18s.  I love how MEP started introducing
multiplication here with two sets of 9, three sets of 6, etc.  She
already knows multiplication is coming and kinda what it means … this
just wets her whistle 🙂 

N-boy: finished through lesson 140

R-girl:
we did some more work with size and shapes and matching. She is
absolutely ready for MEP Y1 in January.  I was a little concerned
earlier in the year, but she has matured and grown so much.  MEP
Reception was great and the other free work we did after convinced me.

Logic:

M-girl: lots of Qwirkle

N-boy: lots of Uno and Qwirkle

Grammar:

M-girl: finished lessons through a friendly letter in FLL2.  Heads up, for Miss Patricia 🙂

N-boy:  finished Lesson 81 about capitalizing titles of poetry.  He had his first copywork today, just to get ready for next year.

Writing:

M-girl: 
we got through Week 21 in WWE1.  I’m a little disappointed here with
not finishing or getting close, but I’m thrilled with the improvement in
M-girl’s writing.

Spelling:

M-girl: finished through half of Level C. 

Latin:

M-girl: did none this week.  Reviewed flash cards with a friend.

Penmanship:

M-girl: did a review page.

N-boy: erm.  Gotta get working on this.

R-girl: see N-boy …

History: worked with our History Sentences, discussed AD/BC versus CE/BCE. 

Science: reviewed our memory work.

Art: no art party this week.  Was totally not ready for it.

Read Alouds:  I’m hoping to finish Mary Poppins tomorrow, but don’t think it’s going to happen.  We’ve read a good bit this week, though.

Bible:  Psalm 100 needs a lot of polishing.  We may work on that next week.
