Wrap Up Feb 21-25

In Language Lessons, lessons 25-27 we have been working on common nouns aunts, uncles & cousins. And proper pronouns Auntie Pam, Uncle Ben and cousin Xae. They have been doing copy work for these lessons and they're working on a new memory verse.

Hearts Are Like Doors

Anonymous

Hearts, like doors, will open with ease,

To very, very little keys,

And don't forget that two of these

Are "Thank you, sir" and "If you please!"

For science we have finished week 7 in Sonlight. We covered the Sonoran Desert, which is the hottest dessert in N. America and the art of hand blowing glass from the book, "How It's Made." We  have also done some nature study drawings of Black Capped Chickadees. They flock to the feeders on our covered porch so the children have ample opportunity to study them. We also get Stellar Jays, Mountain Chickadees and we have newcomers as well but we've not been able to identify them.

In Math U See BigH has been working on Unit 10 in his Beta program and for the most part is finding it easy. LittleE is working on unit 9 in alpha and is coming along, she is still struggling a bit with her 9+ tables. They both have been working on the drill pages on the MUS website.

They are both still working on the HOP K sight words LittleE consistently can read 23 out of the 30 cards. BigH can read about 7 out of the 30 but he's been working on them for about two weeks and LittleE has been working on those sight words for about 2 months. As soon as BigH can read 15 out of the 30 I think we will move on to HOP 1 with both children. I'm hoping by the end of next week he'll be almost there. I have been working on these words faithfully and daily for short periods of time.

BigH & LittleE have also been having silent reading time and read out loud to Mom, Dad or a family pet daily.

For History we have been reading about Egypt from, "A Child's History of the World" and we read " Step Into Reading Tuts Mummy." We also read chapter 10 in "Missionary Stories with the Millers" and read about John Beekman a missionary in Mexico who was working with the Chol people. The children have done map work finding Egypt and Mexico on the map and marking them down.

We have followed along with our Church in studying the book of Exodus with Studio 32:7 for our Bible Study.

“The parents’ chief care is, that that which they supply

shall be wholesome and nourishing, whether in the way

of picture-books, lessons, playmates, bread and milk, or

mother’s love” ~ Charlotte Mason
