Weekly Report

Here is a snapshot of our past week:

We continued with our Advent and Christmas Unit by reading The Legend of the Poinsettia, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and The Legend of the Candy Cane.

Other activities included making a God's Eye and

enjoying some Mexican Hot Chocolate.

Also, Munchkin finished learning about Alexander the Great and we began our Ancient Rome studies. We began with the Romulus and Remus myth and Munchkin completed a written narration. She also began reading the Pirates of Pompeii and I began reading to her The Bronze Bow.

For Science, we examined the difference between Vertebrates and Invertebrates. Then we moved onto Mammals by watching a documentary and identifying the characteristics of Mammals. Munchkin composed a paragraph explaining the characteristics of Mammals and created a page about Extreme Mammals (the fastest, the slowest, the biggest, the tallest, and the stinkiest mammal). We also began listening to the Burgess Animal Book for Children.

We also attended Group Learning, continued learning about unit conversion in Maths, looked at Collective Nouns in grammar, and baked an Apple Pie.
