School This Week: January 5-9

Bible


This week we started the New Testament in "My Father's World" curriculum. We read:

An angel speaks to Mary
Jesus is born
When Jesus grows up

we read the story and then completed a notebooking page for what we read about.


Math

Juliet is reviewing her times tables 2-7. We just started with 3 digit multiplication (327 x 763) and she picked up on that right away.

Evan is still working on subtraction with regrouping. He tends to get a little sloppy with it so we will probably be working on this for a while to come.


Science

We started our Rocks and Minerals unit study. We read about the layers of the earth, igneous rocks, and volcanoes. We completed a notebooking page after we read and also did a couple of flip books and a worksheet to go into our notebook.



history

Continueing on with our state studies, we completed a notebooking page for Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina. We are working on remembering the capitols. I recorded the names of the states and capitols that we have learned so far into our voice recorder. We have only learned 6 so far. Every day both kids listen to recording for 2 minutes 2-3 times a day. I got this idea from this website. I plan on doing this with poetry and other things that we will be memorizing. Our spelling curriculum(phonetic Zoo) is setup on cd's and follows the same system...it has worked really well for us.

Handwriting, cursive,spelling,and personal bible reading are also done every day of the week except Friday.
