Week in Review March 10-March 14

It's been a good week here at Voyager Learning Center.

Everett has continued to enjoy his Teaching Textbooks math program and worked with inequality, equality, surveys, and tally marks. He has been working on the understood "you" in commands, indirect and direct quotes, and continues to enjoy diagramming in his Grammar program.

Annika has been working through her Click n Kids online phonics and is making good progress. She has started blending initial consonants on her own by just reading some simple readers we found on a recent trip to the book store. The reading may be coming slowly but surely, but it's coming along and she's very proud of herself.

In history we learned about the Vikings and the kids enjoyed learning about Eric the Red and Leif Ericson. Everett was asking about the fact that Leif Ericson's last name ended the same as ours, so I took the opportunity to explain to them a bit about their heritage. They were very excited to find out that not only had the Vikings really been the first to find North America, but that there may be a few in their family tree.

We also celebrated 100th day on Thursday and the kids earned a trip to Build a Bear workshop. They enjoyed going there and making a new animal. On the way home we drove past the local strawberry farm to see if the plants were starting to grow and found the farmer's stand open and with fresh, local strawberries. They were delicious and the 2 quarts we bought didn't last very long.

Hope you all had a great week. Here's a few picture's from our 100 day celebration.
