Week 13
We started off this week doing our Kiwi, Koala and Tinker Crates. Eli hadn't quite finished the bottom swivel portion of his Planetarium so we worked on that instead of starting his new Tinker Crate. Ivy and Emmitt worked on theirs which was a little launcher device with the theme "Investigating Inertia." Erik tie dyed his bag.
Language Arts - Ivy reviewed lessons 23 and 24 in her All About Learning this week. I decided to review those two again as I felt like she didn't fully grasp the new concepts and I wanted to make sure she reviewed them before we moved on to lesson 25. Eli worked on his handwriting, dictation and reading. He's finished up his last language arts book so we've just ordered the next level. For Emmitt, we put papers on the wall with big letters and he had to take his little dart gun and shoot the letters that he called out. He also practiced writing letters and doing picture finds.
History - This week we did another lesson on Lewis & Clark at our Commonwealth for history class. Eli, Ivy and Emmitt were all in the class. We discussed Thomas Jefferson and the Corps of Discovery. They made little booklets about Thomas Jefferson. We also did a discussion on Sacajawea. Then, we went on a field trip to Cove Fort. It was awesome!! WE got to see a fort and all the things they used back in the mid 1800's... laundry, kitchen, bedroom supplies, etc.
Math - This week the kids did their math lessons and we also did math games and logic puzzles. We played with dice where Ivy and Emmitt would roll dice and quickly have to add up the totals of their dice. Eli played with us so I had him use more than two dice which was still too easy for him.
Gym - Gym was fun this week! Everyone played hard ;).
