Language Arts: Gabe reading
Hooked on Phonics pg. 8-15, Lily worked on
Writing with Skill and
Advanced Language Lessons. Lily and Gabe both completed a spelling list and wrote original sentences for their spelling words. We played games of Phonogram Bingo with all three - amazing how a couple chocolate chips turn this into everyone's favorite school activity.

History: Our study of Ancient History continues with work in our portfolios. We read about conquest of Lower Egypt and the formation of a united Eygptian empire. Lily completed summaries about archeology and the Fertile Crescent and we added maps, drawing of bee hived shaped houses and pottery to the portfolios.
Science: Our books should arrive next week! Meanwhile we are reading library books about the earth and continuing to observe our surroundings. Both boys record the weather as part of their daily math routine.
PE: We played for an hour and half with some friends and a long jump rope! It was so fun to sing rhymes and jump and to try four kids jumping at once. Lily and Gabe have been riding their bikes every afternoon for at least an hour. Judo and Highland Dance continue to go well.
Fine Art: Piano lessons & practice, singing at home and church, Highland dance and lots of drawing!

Oops - forgot to mention French! Lily's enthusiasm has returned and she has diligently spent 20 minutes a day at her lessons.
Hello Jaime,
What great pictures you uploaded! It was fun to see Gabe working on his math. I am glad that he is so eager to work through his lessons.
Lily is doing beautiful work for her Ancient History portfolio. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of her book at term end.
Thanks for all the P.E. you have added to your schedule this year. Jumping rope must have been a lot of highlight for the kids.
Hope your science books arrive soon!
Karyn
