Everett started unit 4 in grammar covering Subject and Verb and also learned about verbals. He did well on his grammar exercises, even doing more diagramming than the directions called for. He completed step 22 in spelling, just a couple more weeks and this book will be done and then it's on to level 5. He wrote a rough draft on Standard Time and started Unit 2 in science. In Math he completed some pages on the metric system.
Annika took her unit 3 test for grammar and got an A. She's decided that pronouns are hard. She edited her Oyster paragraph and continued lesson 9 in Barton reading and spelling. She completed lesson 20 in Math U See Gamma and took the Unit 3 test, which she also got an A on. In science she learned about the parts of an animal cell. She is really enjoying the Nancy Larson Science lessons, it was definitely worth the money.
Lucas completed his page on cursive Ds, and even did part of the page on Gs before realizing he'd gone a page too far. He read An Elf in the Swiss Alps out of his All About Reading Level 2 reader, and loved the story about Ed the Elf. He also took his 2nd spelling test, getting 100%. In science he learned about natural vs. human made matter.
History went well again this week, I continued reading The Golden Goblet aloud and we covered Chapter 2 from Story of the World Ancient Times. This unit was about the Upper and Lower Kingdoms of Egypt as well as the Nile River and King Narmer. Lucas colored a picture depicting the story of Osiris and Set we read in the chapter, and Everett and Annika did summaries. All 3 kids labeled a map of Egypt with the Upper and Lower Kindoms, the Nile River and drew the two kingdom crowns that later became 1.
So over all I'm happy with what we did, and hope to get quite a bit more done next week.
