Review -- Sept. 27 - Oct.1

This Week was a basic week, we did as much as we could and had fun along the way. 


Everett  
Started working on his decimals lessons in math and so far he's doing well with it.  He started using Junior Analytical Grammar again and asked to start at the beginning.  He worked through most of the noun unit and although it's easy it is a great review.  He'll take the test next Monday.  We started up All About Spelling again and he had a great time working on Level 2 Step 1.  I know we'll move quickly through this level and then move right along into level 3. 


Annika

Has been enjoying her McRuffy Dynamic Phonics book and worked through lesson 43 this week, focusing on the -er, -ir, and -ur sounds.  She'll bring in -or next week and that will wrap up the r-controlled vowels.  She is currently reading Super Pork Makes Friends which is a very cute story.  Teaching Textbooks is a great hit here.  She completed lessons 5-7 and got her first "bonus" section when doing lesson 7.  She did well with it and earned an extra 2 points which gave her a 109% on the assignment.  She was very excited and proud of herself.   I began All About Spelling level 1 with her again and she blazed her way through steps 1-5.  


Science for Everett and Annika
This week we worked on learning about the layers of the earth.  We made models out of crayola model magic and had lots of fun playing with the left over "clay"

Lucas
He did really well with his phonics test again and is having loads of fun in kindergarten.  


Art for All
We wrapped up the week with another art day project.  I got out another kit that I'd bought.  This one is the Paper Bag Puppet Kit.   It was a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed it.  Here are a few pictures of the kids working on them and the finished projects.

We look forward to another great week coming up.  I hope you'll come back next week to check out our next Review.
