Weekly Review

This week was off a little due to me returning to work for 3 days.  If, and when, I go full time, there will be adjustments to be made again, but for now we are making due. 

Writing With Ease- Completed 4 lessons

First Language Lessons-  Finished 4 lessons this week, ending with 70.

Cursive-  Covered ‘m’ and ‘n’ (both normal and as attached to a ‘tow truck’ letter), two reviews and learned ‘x.’  She has ‘q’ and ‘z’ left and then lots of review (and some capitals) and practice and she will be done.  I guess about 2-3 weeks left!  Time to order the next book!

Memorization-  Continued with her new ‘The Months’ poem.  Has 2 months left to memorize!  Continued to review the western states and work on the mid-west states.  She has memorized (location and spelling) Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa.  She is doing great!

Spelling-  Did two lessons this week.  Both 100%!  Also we started testing on the 140 words she has already learned in this book.  We did about 1/3 of them so far with only 4 mistakes!  She also rewrote her two weekly spelling words in cursive.

Math-  Emma continued to work on her 2’, 3’s, and 4’s in multiplication drill.  Both on her flash master and Tuxmath.  Continues to do well.  She also proved that she has figured out how to do her 6’s so I will be adding that to her basic drill so she can start memorizing them.  Since the drill has been going so well, we started in on 3A and she almost finished the first unit this week. She has 2 pages of review left.  Unit 1 consists of numbers to 1000 and rounding numbers.  It was her first experience with rounding and she picked it up quick.  Helps that we did a quick preview into how rounding numbers worked and then did a practice inside Home Depot with price tags.  When asked she rounded to the nearest 10cents or to the nearest dollar. 

History-  Dave and Emma completed the next chapter.

Science-  Nothing scheduled.  She did stumble across an episode of Curious George that had to do with germs and the human body.  Fits right in.  Checked back in with the owls to see how the owlets are growing! 

Art-  Made a dog out of clay in art class.  Metal work got pushed to this next week.

Violin-  Passed off on Minuet II and continues to work on Minuet III.

Extra-  Went to Home Depot for the kids workshop. Put together a race car.  Read the directions carefully

PE-  Swim lessons and shooting baskets.
