I plan to do these posts on Fridays just for my own record of sorts, but some of the keys on our keyboard weren't working correctly so we got a new one today.
8/29-9/2
We had a great week. In language arts Chiggie finished up her first book study and moved onto lesson 3. Tea wrapped up a unit on nouns, pronouns, and punctuation, and Midge worked on story sequencing.
For Bible we wrapped up our first 2 week unit on "The Rock." All 3 girls memorized their verses, journaled, and completed a few lesson related worksheets as a team.
Typing was put on the back burner due to the keyboard issues, but we'll pick right back up with that next week.
Both Chiggie and Tea had their first math tests on Friday. They both did wonderfully. Their first math unit was basically review from the previous grade so they are right where they need to be to move on.
In History we finished discussing the early explorers, the first settlement, and the lost colony of Roanoke. The girls have loved this! The activities and writing projects are very interesting to them. They spent at least 20 minutes on Friday discussing all of their theories of what may have happened to Virginia Dare. This has been a surprise. I didn't expect this subject to be a favorite.
Science was also a fun one this week. We started the week out learning about Galileo and Copernicus. The end of the week was focused on the actual planets and their positions around the sun. We made the model below to use as our classroom example.
The girls had a really good time painting the planets.
It turned out really good in the end. It's nice to have something we can actually look at. Even the littlest girls can now name all of the planets and show them on the model.
Boo was happy to be the one to paint the sun.
Tea chose all of the smallest planets.
Midge had fun, but getting messy isn't her favorite thing to do.
