Weekly Report for10/31/2011-11/4/2011

With only two more weeks after this one, we’re feeling the home stretch.    We accomplished a lot this week and I’m thrilled.

Phonics:

N-boy: FINISHED!

R-girl: She’s starting to get it! Which makes phonics lessons go so much more smoothly.  We’ve lone lessons on long /a/, long /e/, and long /i/.

Assigned Reading:

M-girl: is enjoying Pilgrim Stories.

N-boy: seems to finally be liking The Landing of the Pilgrims.

Math:

M-girl: is adding up to 16.

N-boy: is adding up to 11.

R-girl: is almost done with MEP Reception and I can recommend it happily.  She finished Math Mammoth’s pages of “K” math that are now included in Math Mammoth 1A, but I decided 1A is going to be too much for her yet.  I’m trying some other basic math pages that she’s liking and succeeding with.

Logic:

M-girl: didn’t have any assigned this week.

N-boy: didn’t have any assigned this week.

Grammar:

M-girl: is memorizing prepositions … “Aboard, about, above …”

N-boy: wrote his address this morning, abbreviating Dr. and our State.

Writing:

M-girl: is working on Week 20.

Spelling:

M-girl: worked on Level C Group 16 today.  She had to spell “round” and I used “Round on the End and Hi in the Middle” as the sentence and had to play the song.

Latin:

M-girl: finished Lesson 19.

History: We watched a video on Ancient Greece and read some Greek Myths.

Science: We had eye appointments? Hmmm …

Art:  We had art with Mahers Hill Academy:

Read Alouds:  We read a little more from Mary Poppins.

Bible: We are almost done with the Gospels in the Vos Story Bible. Thinking about what to read next.  We started memorizing Psalm 100.
