We finished up our week today, in spite of sickness. We loved the story of Amy Carmichael, and how Hero Tales lined up with the read aloud. Another interesting thing was how the Bible passage for today talked about being a servant, and that was what the Hero Tales entry was about. We had a good discussion today.
Geography was good. The facts in Illustrated World Atlas were interesting. Playing the Geography Game was a big hit. Even Tigger and Pooh joined in on making the Indian flag. Today we made Chapittas - we ate them with honey. Everyone but Tigger tried them and liked them. Here are are Chapittas:
Science was good. Rabbit did a page every day but yesterday, because yesterday we started our science experiment for the week, and finished it today. Rabbit learned that water expands when it freezes. Here are our before and after pictures:
We didn't do the art project this week, as I didn't have any clay or "jewels." Maybe this weekend, after the storm passes, I'll get to a craft store. We did listen to the songs recommended.
For reading, we finished up Abeka's Pilgrim Boy. We really enjoyed the story. I had never heard about the Speedwell and the problems they had with that boat, before they came over on the Mayflower.
Math has been skip-counting by eight. Rabbit is frustrated with it. She gets 40, 48, 56, 64, and 72, but she has trouble with 24, 32, and 40.
For spelling, we have just kept on in Sequential Spelling. We still split the list into 2 sections, doing half in the morning, and half in the afternoon.
We did our 3 pages in English, and two days of "Writing Without Curriculum." I used pictures from her stories from the book basket for her to write about.
We also did Spanish about 4 days this week, and went to Worship Dance class
Tomorrow: China!
