1850MOD: Week 2 Day 5

You would think a lighter day would take less time! Not in this house.

We started with Bible time. Basically, on Light & Independent day we listen to the hymn and pray for Bible time. Then, I decided to do History since I had everyone's attention. So, we added Alaska and Hawaii and did the post-test. Rabbit got a 100%! She only got 29 right on the pre-test. Tigger got 46 out of 50, after only knowing 4 states at the beginning. Pooh got 38 out of 50, knowing 11 states at the beginning. I'm thinking about putting the CD in the car and just listening to it whenever they're all in there to nail down those states just a little more. But, that's awesome improvement.

Math took a VERY long time today with the boys. It was introducing carrying. Pooh could do it if he had blocks, but he struggled otherwise. Tigger eventually got it. Sigh. I wish math wasn't taking so long.

The boys got their Start Zone's last night for AWANA, so I recorded their verses onto their mp3 players so they can listen and follow along. So, that's been added into things. 

Rabbit still had Math and Science today. Math only took us 45 minutes! And we spent about 45 minutes on Science. The reading was not that long, but we decided to start reviewing for the test a little bit. Still need to figure out how to work in Writing Strands. Sigh.

It was a good day. The boys still dawdle some at transitions. I know we'll get there as we keep working at it.
