We had a good, exhausting week. Sorry no pictures; our camera died and I didn’t take any on the phone this week.

Math:
M-girl: worked on adding to 17s this week.

Logic:
M-girl: [ahem]
N-boy: [ahem]
Grammar:

Science: we didn’t do any.
Art: our friends came and we studied how Artists use “form.” This was one of the harder projects in AP K-3 Book 1 so far, but they turned out pretty well over all.
Read Alouds: We’ve read more Mary Poppins. I hope to finish it before our break. We also read two chapters from The House At Pooh Corner. Actually, Jason read them while home today and we all laughed and laughed.
Bible: We’re getting closer and closer to finishing Vos. We read about Peter and John preaching in the Temple last night. We are close to having Ps 100 memorized.
I thought I left a comment already but maybe it didn't go through?
Anyway, I wondered what you did for math for the older 2 when they were R-girl's age? Isn't it fun to finish something? 🙂
I haven't seen any other comments 🙁
We were very slow and inconsistent with MEP Y1. MEP Reception was *perfect* for my 3.5-4 year old 🙂 She loved having her own math.
I love Winnie the Pooh and the House at Pooh Corner. I think it's one of those books you enjoy more as you get older. We enjoyed doing art with you all this week – thanks so much!
