Week 16 Review -- Jan 26-31

We had a pretty good start to the week but ended on a sick note. Annika got some sort of stomach bug which put an end to the week early. We've also decided to keep Super Science Saturdays and Super History Sundays as a part of our routine, thus cutting our weekly routine down a bit.

Here's the run down of the week.

Everett
Grammar: Growing with Grammar lessons 2.8 and 2.9 were completed. He worked with plural nouns, irregular plural nouns, possesive nouns and began learning about comma placement.

Penmanship: Pages 52-55, his cursive is still coming along and he is enjoying it.

Spelling: He worked on group 8 this week and did fairly well.

Math: Lessons 22-24 were completed. He was working on multiple step word problems and some basic multiplication. The Teaching Textbooks program continues to be a big hit.

Geography: Daily Geography week 16 covered reading a physical map of Canada.

Annika
Penmanship: Pages 52-55 completed in her usual perfectionist style.

Phonics: Winterpromise's Advanced K phonics is working well. She is enjoying the pages from Explode the Code as well as the other phonics and spelling activities.

Math: CLE lessons 23-24 were completed. She still really likes this program and it has made math time a lot more fun for us.

Geography: Daily Geography week 16 covered reading a land and water map of Arizona.

BOTH:
Writing: Writing With Ease Level 1 week 16 which included excerpts from Master of All Masters was complete this week.

History: This week we covered the Sioux and read If you lived with the Sioux. We completed our Sioux pocket and had fun with an Amazing Buffalo Activity.

Science: This week we have decided to have "Super Science Saturday" regularly and worked on our units about the Respiratory and Digestive systems.

Art: We've decided to use the projects from our Native American studies as art time and will continue to do that for the next 3 weeks.
