Week 19 in Review -- Jan 25-29

This week started out great and slowly fizzled as I got a pretty ugly cold.  We're hoping a weekend of rest will help and we'll be raring to go for next week.


Everett:
Grammar: He started Junior Analytical Grammar and completed Unit 1.  He did a great job, I really think he's ready for it now.
Spelling: Spelling Workout Lesson 6 was completed.
Writing: None this week
Reading: He finished Howliday Inn and has started The Celery Stalks at Midnight.  I can't believe how much his interest in reading has turned around.  He now reads every night without fail and there is no more prodding from Mom.
Math: Teaching Textbooks lessons 17-19 and Quiz 3 were completed. These lessons covered division and he did a really good job with it.  He's cruising right along.


Annika:
Language Arts:McRuffy Phonics and Reading K lessons 162-170 were completed.  She will complete this level of phonics and reading by the end of next week.  She's doing so well, I'm so proud of her.
Math: McRuffy Math 1 lessons 130-148 were completed.  This week included addition with carrying (or regrouping) and she did really well with it.  She's doing great in math and should wrap up this level by the end of next week.


BOTH
History: We covered Peter the Great and his great trip to explore Western Europe.
Science: We started learning about the 18 naturally occurring elements.  We did an experiment where we made muffins with and without baking powder to show that not having that chemical reaction in there makes a big difference in the end result.


Lucas:
Preschool: He's trucking along through his My First book of Mazes and My First Book of Coloring.  He enjoys his worksheets and is doing really well.


Tune in next week for Week 20 in Review

Hooray Everett for tackling JAG & for becoming a reading machine!

We read a book here about Peter the Great and really liked it. Hmm, I think it was by Diane Stanley. Great illustrations.

It's so wonderful when a little person discovers a joy for reading!

Another reader in the ranks!

How are the kids enjoying A Wrinkle In Time?

I missed a couple of weeks, but I've been reading and catching up on what the kiddos are doing.

Great, as usual.
