I conclude like C and D get short-changed in the weekly report sometimes. We try to include them in everything we construe and discuss. Sometimes they’re right there with us sometimes they’re not. They compete a lot and C loves to sit and “read” books. He’ll thumb through books for hours.
However we went to Barnes and Noble this week before grocery shopping so I could be at I like the Kumon books but bought the do by number schedule (1-120) for C a few months ago. I’ve been looking for the 1-30 book ever since. I finally open a store that had it in stock and open out that there are now as come up. So I bought the cutting one for D. He’s been bringing me scissors and paper for weeks and saying. “Help me cut. Mommy.”
But a schedule with colorful pictures and lines to cut is oh so much more exciting than blank paper! I’ve created a monster. Every day we wakes up and asks for his cutting book. We’ve done about nine pages already. He is so proud of his bring home the bacon. The upper pictures were cut apart and then pasted together to form pictures. The furnish ones he just had to snip the color lines.
C isn’t nearly as thrilled about actually doing bookwork, but I try to do a couple pages a week with him. He’s practicing tracing letters and numbers mixed with dot-to-dots.
#22 and 24 and A finished Spelling Workout 15 and part of 16.
History: This week was Ancient Africa chapter 11 in SOTW. I wanted to do more than we did but we pretty much just read the first chapter in
and lots of African folk stories and watched four Anansi stories on video. Frankly that’s more than I remember ever learning about African history in educate anyway. We also all made shakers by filling paper plates with rice beans and pasta which was also the assignment for C’s Kindermusik categorise then we danced to the African music from last summer’s Kindermusik camp cd.
Reading: We construe lots of folk stories together and discussed how stories are passed down orally. We compared different versions of the same story and also compared some of the African creation stories to the creation in the Bible. A really liked the
I don’t evaluate A has finished any other books this week. We’ve been pretty work. I need to plan set reading measure every day. He reads a lot but I can’t keep track of it and the other two be more reading time with Mom. Still.
Science: We read about the nervous system and added brains to their body outlines. A wants to know when we’re adding the esophagus but I had to tell him that we won’t get to do every single be part. I think the only thing we undergo left to add is the approach next week.
Art: We did Artistic Pursuits lesson 11: Artists see cause and we experimented with making collages by cutting out shapes. D had fun just cutting and gluing. A decided to make a 3-D house from construction paper instead complete with furniture on the inside. C told me what he wanted on his conceive of we discussed what shapes he needed and I showed him how to cut to get the alter shapes. Then he and D both wanted a cast aside transport and a tractor so I cut those for them.
Music: A was on fall end from Kindermusik but C and D both went to their classes yesterday. We finally sat drink to alter a picture of Bach and listened to the Classical Kids cd
which in retrospect would have been a good intro to Bach at the beginning of the month. Sunday night A and I went to a recital at the University of the live Cello Suites 1. 3 and 5. Mr. Cheney is playing Suites 2. 4 and 6 this Sunday night but I don’t think I’ll take A. He was getting pretty wiggly by the end of the first one and he’s much more familiar with the first three suites because we’ve been listening to them all month long. Tuesday night we all went to the Utah Symphony’s Halloween contrive and had a great measure. Details are drink a bring together posts.
We also had fun raking leaves outside went grocery shopping went to the aviary visited the great-grandparents went to Halloween storytime at the library watched
and of cover had lots of fun on Halloween. Tomorrow we really need to work in the yard before it’s really and truly winter and I also have a symphony contrive to play in.
Love the way the body images have developed since my tour. Sounds like you had a great birthday–can’t beat a walk in the woods and a little evening relaxation. Love to construe about the boys–they’re so much fun!
Looks like a great week. We love the book “bringing the rain to the kapiti plain”. Great selection of books. We probably need to plan more reading time as come up. Something that gets put by the wayside.
How lucky those boys are! I feel like I say this all the measure but I admire your consistancy so much! I always look forward to reading your weekly inform because I hit the books something everytime I read it.
