Science: Completed our Rock and Fossils kit, continued reading about rocks and particularly how they are affected by the elements.
Math: All three worked steadily through their lessons this week. John is retaining some addition facts and likes to get involved in Gabe's lessons doing simpler measuring, tangrams and is learning to skip count.
History: We studied the Phoenecians this week
Language: Lily is continuing to read voraciously, finishing Good Wives this week and beginning Tom Sawyer. She also started reading D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths and we will be doing the study guide that goes along with. Gabe is making good progress with his reading and read Firebird aloud this week. Both he and John are continuing to work on phonograms both reading and writing. John especially like to practice using pocketphonics on the Ipad.
Fine Arts: Gabe and Lily both practiced Christmas music on the piano over the holidays. Lily returned to regular piano and Highland dance lessons this week.

Hello Jaime,
Thank you for the solid first week back to school after the holidays!
I am very impressed that Lily is tackling Tom Sawyer!
Gabe's chapter book looks very interesting. It is great to see him reading longer and longer texts.
Thanks for the update on John's math skills. He is so enthusiastic about his learning! It is great to see him succeed with learning addition facts.
I hope the rock and mineral kit was an exciting way to start the new year!
Blessings,
Karyn
