Educating Emme
• Jul. 25, 2007 - What We're Up To This Summer
Summer is half-way over! We are not doing nearly as much as I had planned on us doing. It seems we've been so busy with Jacob's soccer games and practices that there is little time for anything else!
I do have a few things scheduled, one thing per week, for the rest of the summer. Free or close-to-free activities!
Jennah said today: "I really like reading that Anne book Mommy. I like her. I'm at the part where she accidentally got Diana drunk! I hope they can stay friends! It wasn't Anne's fault!" I didn't let her in on the fact that they stay friends for a mighty long time! I want her to come upon that knowledge herself! I also told her once she finishes the book we will get the movie from Netflix. I already saw it once and it is excellent! I know she'll love it too.
Jacob still gives me a hard time every day. He does a little English, math, and handwriting and once in awhile some art and nature study. He's been having so much fun riding his bike and playing soccer, and that is what he should be doing!
Emme is just reinforcing the math she learned last year. Lots of addition and subtraction drills. She practices copywork and her penmanship is coming along. She reads a book every day and does a few pages in her phonics book. Some times she will go over her sight words and she's done a few little booklets from www.enchantedlearning.com about butterflies and rainbows, sea animals, and more.
I got a lot of the school supplies on great sales. I got 10 packs of 24-pack crayolas today for .20 cents apiece. Lots of folders, paper, pencils, eraser, pencil sharpeners, notebooks, colored pencils, markers, etc. We should be set!
I also found in the dollar section of Target flash cards of:
The Presidents
The 50 States
Insects
Astronomy
All things we are studying next year! I also found a small globe, a USA magnet puzzle, a USA wipeoff board, and a USA board puzzle. Gotta love the dollar section!
They have a lot of really neat things for teaching.
Well, that's my quick update! Time to get off to bed!
