Weekly Report

Here's our weekly report for the September 15th:

Pokemon King:
  • Math-It still seems like we're reviewing. He's been doing negative numbers, number lines, bar graphs, and word problems (yea! everyone's favorite!)
  • English-simple & complete predicates as well as diagramming
  • Reading, Spelling, Handwriting-the usual: read a story & do the worksheet; spelling worksheet & final test; cursive handwriting letters o,l, & v (hooray-he can almost spell olive!)
  • Science-the sun & the earth
Dinodude:
  • Math-still reviewing (one downfall to Saxon)-word problems, fractions, addition & subtraction facts, coin values & patterns
  • English-poetry memorization, story narration, nouns, learning address & family members
  • Reading, Spelling, Handwriting-the usual: read a story & do the worksheet; spelling worksheet & final test; cursive handwriting letters a, e, i, & o
  • Science-what science is, what scientists do, the universe-he did do an experiment on whether salt has an impact on making objects float. As you can see from the picture...it does!

History for both-we discussed China and Dynasties, mainly the Shang Dynasty. We also talked about Pictograms & the boys made their own.

All in all I think we had a pretty productive week. We've got one more week until we break for our move. Hopefully it'll be a good week.

Great week! I love your Mohenjo-Daro buildings. I'm just not in the project mood like that this year.

So you're moving too?? On top of doing great school like this and a new baby?!!

Wow! Your boys are so big! I had no clue you had another one!! 5 boys huh? I have decided that it's best to stick with what you do best. And for you it's boys! Congratulations!
