Week 14 Review -- January 12-16

It was a pretty good week here although we kind of puttered out at the end of the week because Annika got a cold and hasn't been sleeping well lately.

Here's the run down of what we did accomplish.

Everett
Grammar: Growing with Grammar lessons 2.1-2.3 were completed. This is the beginning of the "nouns" section. He worked with common and proper nouns, as well as compound nouns.

Penmanship: Pages 38-45, I believe he worked on the letters J, K and Y. He really enjoys this program and now looks forward to penmanship practice.

Spelling: We switched back to Spelling Power and after a rough start with Level C group 6 words he did fairly well. He completed all of group 6 and half of group 7.

Math: Teaching Textbooks has made a great change in math for us. He is able to do the lessons completely on his own, which frees me up to work with Annika and Lucas. Lessons 15-17 and Quiz 2 were completed. He especially enjoyed the lessons on Roman Numerals.

Geography: Daily Geography week 14 covered the Rocky mountain region. Although it is a simple program he does enjoy it and is making great strides in map reading.

Annika
Penmanship: Pages 38-45 completed in her usual perfectionist style.

Phonics: She's continuing to progress through Hooked on Phonics "Yellow box" although we'll be adding in Explode the Code and I also have Winterpromise's advance K on the way to see if that will help me be more consistent with her.

Math: CLE lessons 11-16 were completed. She really enjoys CLE math and I think it's going to be a great fit for her. The lessons are going fairly quickly as she's really now just cementing somethings that were a bit shaky for her, but the slow and steady pace of CLE is just what she needs.

BOTH:
Writing: Writing With Ease Level 1 week 14 was completed.

History:This week we covered the Inuit and read Polar Bears Past Bedtime. So far the study of Native Americans has been fun and interesting for them. I just hope it continues to be.

Science: R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey Life, Level 1 has been a lot of fun so far. This week we covered cells, and will conclude the week tomorrow (sat) by sketching the plant and animal cells we made out of jello and fruit.

Art:Nothing on the schedule for art this week.

Latin: Nothing on the schedule this week for Art.

Come back next week to check out our Week 15 review.
