October 14th - 18th weekly review

I'm behind again. A week behind. . . . . 

BUT.............I do have a lot of pictures to share from last week.

So much as gone on since last week I dont remember in enough detail what all we worked on. I'll have to let the pictures do the talking.

Thomas working on his cursive writing.

Here's the product of his hard work. {yes, I see the word spelled wrong at the bottom}.

Thomas seeing if the desk is longer or shorter than a meter.

Thomas circled the perpendicular lines on Fred's face.

In All About Spelling, we went over when to use the letter {c} and {k}.

 

Nathaniel taking his math test.

This is a typical day's work for Nathaniel. He has a worksheet, and his reading book.

Sarah worked on the letter O this week.  She helped the otter find his home in this activity.

Sarah working on her poke page.

Sarah colored a page with her "special" markers.

Working on the O puzzle.

Sarah enjoyed this number game. I put different numbers in the box and Sarah had to fill the space with the number of "babies" in the box.

Sarah filled the O with O stickers. This always keeps my kids busy for a while.

More sticker art for Sarah.

Sarah is serious when it comes to cutting. She holds the scissors wrong, and will not hold them the right way.

Sarah loves the magnet page!!

I printed 2 of these and Sarah chose to paint this letter O.

Sarah's do a dot 3 page.

Sarah sorted and glued the pieces all by herself. She's very independent and loves work that she can do alone.

Hattie LOVES blocks, any and all blocks.

Hattie was proud of her sticker art, too!

October 7th-11th Weekly Review

Another week has ended, the days are going by slowly but the weeks are going by too fast! How is that even possible?

This week we finally got around to doing to last two projects for the sun in our Apologia Astronomy. The first project was to make a solar eclipse. This was an awesome visual project for the kids.

The dark circle and the fuzzy circle around the dark circle is where you would be able to see the eclipse.

The 2nd project was to make a sun viewing box. They wanted their daddy to help with this and I'm glad he did, because I was a little bit confused on how it all went together.

Thomas found the sun in the box!!

Thomas finished his Dolphin Adventure book, and is now reading Stone Fox. This book is an adventure book, but its more of a mystery to us. We are anxious to keep reading to find out why the Grandpa is so sad.
He is skipping around in his Singapore Math book since he is still reviewing. And he still LOVES Life of Fred. I have to admit, its better than I had imagined.
In language arts, he's learned all the capitalization rules, and now moving to period rules. He's also learning about different types of nouns.


Nathaniel is moving along in his phonics/reading. He's on his 3rd reading book and is reading more quickly. He's almost ready for his test in Math U See on the color blocks.

Nathaniel coloring in the astronomy book while I read.

We STILL didn't get Sarah's work printed so she's been playing with Hattie and listening to what I read the boys.
