Racing Towards The End Of The Year
We only have about 6 1/2 weeks left of this school year, and then the boys will officially become 2nd and 5th graders. And that's a little scary for me to contemplate at the moment.
So here's what we're doing:
History: just finished reading about Lewis and Clark, and we're on to the War of 1812. Next week, we're going on a field trip to tour a Civil War battlefield.
Read-aloud: finished Justin Morgan Had A Horse; now slowly working our way through Calico Bush
Science: reading through a chapter on lobsters, shrimp and crabs. The boys (and Daddy) get to try growing sea monkeys next week.
For Calvin:
Continuing occupational therapy for sensory processing disorder -- we've seen a huge improvement over the last few months. He's reading The Courage of Sarah Noble, working on adding columns of numbers, and learning about abbreviations and capitalization in language arts.
For Hobbes:
He's reading Naya Nuki, working on assignments for his writing class, learning about decimals in math, and finishing up geography workbooks on states and capitals.
I've started doing some basic review in preparation for taking the California Achievement Test at the end of April -- just math practice and language arts worksheets. Standardized tests are not my favorite thing, but Hobbes actually liked the math part last year. And Calvin didn't even notice he was taking a test (and I wasn't going to mention it) until he finished it.
We've got field trips, art classes, art shows, drama productions, etc. etc. to add into the next few weeks too. Yeah, my kids definitely have problems with that social thing (she said sarcastically). |
