Week 17, Day 2-5 in ECC

Well, between missing a day because of illness of the teacher, and just life happening, I didn't keep up with the blog.

Reading about John Wesley this week was inspiring. Quite the dedicated individual. We had some good Bible discussions, but the parables can be confusing.

Geography was fun. We mostly focused on the Geography game - which Rabbit continues to win. We didn't do the cooking activity yesterday, as we decided to go to the National Western Stock Show for a field trip. In Science, we read the book, and then did the Tree Activities in the manual. We only did one of the two, as I had to teach Rabbit how to do a bar graph. However, we did note correlations in the data we collected.

For math, we're continuing to work on mastering the times 6 facts. We're pretty close. I believe she could complete the next unit test. Spelling was challenging. She had trouble with "igh" words, and did not get a 100 on either test. I think we'll move on, but work on igh words a little. We've come up with a new phrase, to get us to laugh - "spelling accident." She caught a spelling mistake while she was doing her test. So, we now also have "math accidents" as well.

We've almost finished the next book in the Abeka series - I think we have one story left. And we finished George Muller. The organizations he started are still around today! Amazing!

A good week, except for my stomach bug.
