Week 20 Review -- March 1-8

Well after a bit of a cold, this week we all got back on that homeschool horse and had a great week
Here's the run down.

Everett
Grammar: Growing with Grammar lessons 3.8-3.11 and Chapter 3 Review. He wrapped up the Pronoun unit with a study of Capitalization rules.

Penmanship: We wrapped up the remainder of his Handwriting without tears Cursive book and next week we'll start back into Happy Scribe copybooks..

Spelling: All About Spelling Step 19 and 20 completed. This program is working really well for us. I actually love it so much I became an affiliate and wrote a whole post about it. I also have a link to their website in the sidebar.

Math: Lessons 37-42 and Quiz 6 were completed. He covered Polygons, Perimeter, Area, an intro to Fractions, A review of adding 4 digit numbers and Rounding and Estimating 4 digit numbers.

Geography: Daily Geography week 20 covered reading a political map of the Southeastern region of the United States. The funniest answer came when I left him home while I took Lucas to his gym class. The question was "Why is Washington DC considered to be part of the SE region?" His answer was "My mom's not home, and I don't know why. I'll ask her when she comes home"

Annika
Penmanship: She wrapped up her My Printing Book from Handwriting without tears and will also do some Happy Scribe copy books for the rest of the year.

Phonics: All About Spelling has been going well for her. She wrapped up Step 10 and 11 this week. This program is working wonderfully for us. Her reading is also improving because of it. She also did a lesson in her Headsprout program

Math: CLE lessons 41-46 were completed. She was excited to start moving into numbers greater than 100 and can't wait to start the counting book next week.

Geography: Daily Geography week 20 covered reading a map of a city.

BOTH:
Writing: We learned about how to abbreviate the months of the year. Everett thought it was a bummer that he didn't have to change his answer about when his birthday is because May isn't abbreviated.

History: Super history Sunday this week was a wrap up of our Native American Unit. We did a craft from the Maidu tribes and then put our Native American Pocket book together.

Science: This week "Super Science Saturday" covered the Cnidarians. We also made paper plate jellyfish.

The beginning of March came in like a lion here, with temps dropping below freezing we wrapped up the week with temps in the high 70's. Looks like March will be a great month here for us.

Come back next week to check out our Week 21 review.
