Gabe is finding their is a lot of review that he doesn't need in these early math lessons. So we've abbreviated some lessons and skipped others altogether. We continue to play lots of games that practice math skills including: Set, Skipbo, Phase 10, Uno and Yahtzee.
History:Ch. 5: Sumeria
Science: This week we studied volcanoes, reading from Usborne Ecyclopeida of Planet Earth, writing up narrations and vocab and finally making a paper mache volcano which we plan to erupt later today. Hopefully pictures will follow soon.
Language: Writing with Skill (Lily), Advanced Language Lessons 10-11 (Verb Tenses), Gabe completed lessons 104-105, also working of verbs. We learned the poem Autumn by Emily Dickinson together and copied it into their Nature Portfolios. Gabe continues to spontaneously journal and Lily wrote an original poem about sleeping this week. John continues to practice his letters (both reading and writing). Gabe read pg. 24-37 in Hooked on Phonics as well as beginning to read aloud a chapter book. Lily and Gabe also continued to work on their spelling lessons.

PE: Judo (Gabe), Highland dance (Lily), scootering at the Skate Park, paper route, biking and playing jump rope!
Fine Art: piano lessons and practice
French: Gabe continued working through lesson 1; Lily

Hello Jaime,
What beautiful copy work Gabe did for his nature portfolio! He is to be commended for the spacing, alignment, and slant of his printing! I must admit, before I read the small print underneath, I thought Lily had copied this poem! Well done, Gabe!
It is great to hear that Gabe is easily recalling the math concepts he learned last year and is skipping ahead to something more challenging in his math book. :0)
Thanks for the solid work in Language Arts! I look forward to reading Lily’s poem and Gabe’s journal entries. It is good to hear that John is progressing with his letters.
Warmly,
Karyn
