9/6-9/9
We had another great week! It flew by, but I'm sure that had to due with Monday being a holiday.
In Language Arts we are sailing right along. This is a strong area for all 3 girls and something that they enjoy. Chiggie is working on writing dictated passages and is doing very well. Tea got 100% on her very first spelling test and is a quick study on the more advanced phonics rules. Midge loves anything having to do with reading and read the first book in her program all by herself today. She was so proud and happy to glue it to her chart.
In Bible we talked about creation and some of the theories there are. Then they all helped make homemade brownies. We set out the ingredients but they just wouldn't make themselves. Much like the earth and people needed a Creator, the brownies needed us to make them. They were delicious and the girls were very proud of themselves. To prove how proud of them I was I ate half a pan.
The girls picked up where they left off in typing and Chiggie is really sailing along in that department. Her speed and accuracy is improving tremendously with every lesson.
The older girls are working on their notebooks and journaling as we go. They are very proud of their history notebooks and love the activities. I love how hands on this study is and couldn't be more pleased so far.
In science we began our study of the sun. We learned how big the sun is in comparison to the Earth, how dangerous it can be to look at, and how important it's positioning is to our entire solar system. The girls worked independently in their notebooks this week and we'll be doing a couple of projects next week.
