Aug. 24, 2009~ First Week of School Done! ~
Ok, I had hope to get this post out on Friday, but I wasn't feeling well. Then on Saturday we were at a museum, so it didn't get up then either. So, here is the my report of our first week.
Little One is doing great! Here is some of what we did-
We started reading The Magic Tree House series. Little One is LOVING it!!! The first book is Dinosaurs Before Dark. We will be doing an interactive notebooking page on it.
We also read the Magic School Bus dinosaurs book. I decided not to do a notebook page on it, since we would be doing dinosaurs with the Magic Tree House.
In math we are doing greater than and less than.
We read the book Madeline and did an interactive notebook page with it. Here are some resources:
PC was having a little more trouble getting into the swing of school, but he did fine.
Right now he is reading Call it Courage, is studying about the Age of Exploration, geology and doing 8th grade math. His math and spelling is listed at this site: http://www.squidoo.com/homeschool-curriculum-jr-high We are using the British math. I e-mailed them for the answer guide and they emailed me the password really quickly.
This week we are planning to get started on our Van Gogh study and our nature studies. Here are some resources:
So that was our first week and a sneak preview into our week this week.
I also want to share an awesome resource with you!!!
This site has resources for "How to Teach Your Child to Write a Novel". Yes, there are other books and stuff to help with that, but this one is different!!! This site has it aimed to children ages 7-9!!!! I love that! Little One has been wanting to write a book so bad. I am looking forward to using this. Here is the URL: http://www.littleblueschool.com/2009/08/how-to-teach-child-to-write-novel.html
On Saturday, we went to the museum and had lots of fun. They had a special Dragons exhibit that the boys loved. My favorite part was watching the otters. They were so friendly!!! Here are some pics. Just click on them to enlarge them.
