Unit 9

Here is a quick run down if out week! 

Bible Verse: 2 Thessalonians 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves one another and edify each other as also ye do
I drilled in making this a practice this week as the girls did their school work and chores. 
Poem: Maker of Heaven and Earth
Song: None
Read Aloud: Little House in the Big Woods
      Both girls are loving this book and I am too. It brings back good memories from my childhood. Ally has her a copy and is reading along or ahead. We have plans to visit a local Folk Center to see how life was back then and make some of the things Laura and her family make. 

Spelling: long a  Phonics: Audrey- blends Ally- open and closed syllables Ian: letter review  and speech practice.




     I am so proud that both girls made a 100% o their tests this week and Ian is starting to get his "s" sound down in speech therapy!!!! 
History:
Our unit this week was called Landing in America and we learned about the equator as well as how the Pilgrims found corn and about washing day!


Science: 
    Here are some fun photos on our lessons over how wind affects ships! 


Writing/Language: 
             This week we learned about Joshua and the Battle of Jericho and the use of adding strong verbs in our writing! I forgot to take photos of this weeks work but the girls did well. They had to have 3 vivid adjectives, 2 strong verbs, and a who/which clause. 
 In  journals this week write me a story about a starfish based on our starfish science and art lesson. They did really well. 

   Our language focus was on exclamation sentences so once again we made a little book out of the sentences the girls came up with.

Reading: 
   The girls independent reading project was to make a comparison of real and make believe elements in a book they read this week. They always have fun with these projects and I am always impressed by their comprehension.  

Math: 
       In math we did a few reviews which I graded and the girls did great on!! These are what I use for grades. We do daily work together and independent but reviews are done on their own as a tests. 



Art, Music, Computer: 
   This week we did a lot of typing on the computer, music class and piano lessons, and fun nature art!  Here are a few photos of our nature walk and leaf prints.
