Okay here is an attempt to follow the example of other awesome homeschooling Moms and make myself accountable for the week. Here is brief is what we did.
Ryan 's writing continues to improve by leaps and bounds. He over shot the coop writing assignment and did a paragraph instead of an outline. He with his already super analytical mind sees no point in outlines. Handwriting is more uniform but not beautiful. He took apart an old intercom speaker which we had removed while redecorating the dining room and sucessfully attached it to his stereo. He is really enjoying his current event websites and his summaries are good.
Camille is attempting to shove all the addition facts into her brain so that we may move on to borrowing and carrying. She is having some success. Spelling test was a B this week. Handwriting is better since we added pretty notebooking pages to the mix. She created a "newspaper" about Jupiter. Camille needs more review on cursive writing. She will do first dictation next week.
Grace is reading Abeka 1st grade reader #4. We reviewed blends like squ, fp, fl - all the blue Abeka phonics cards. She can count by nickels, pennies and dimes. Began copywork on a R L Stevenson poem and did very well. She is memorizing A Swing. I am reading Stuart Little aloud to Grace and Josh.
Josh can read any 3 letter, short vowel soud word. We began to work on long vowels in earnest. Flash cards with long vowel marks over them worked well. Counted objects and selected correct numeral very well - up to 12 and 13. Wrote numbers very well. Loves Stuart Little.
