End of week nine

At the beginning of the week we started our farm unit. Jenna created a farm scene which is poster size and is on our school wall. I will get a pic up soon. We read some books and created a barn yard barn babble book. We made a farm word list that she will use when she is writing about farm related topics.


Fall is here! We kicked off the new season with a welcome Fall party. We had some
yummy apple cider and mini apple pie. We then played some party games and read a fall story.

Jenna received her first two stars this week. She was a very good girl in school. And went above and beyond with her school work. She took it upon herself to do extra math and writing.

We also learned about acrostic poems this week. Jenna wrote her first acrostic poem about Fall. I will get a pic of  it posted, but for right now I will post what she wrote.

Fun with leaves
Autumn is great
Leaves are fun
Love apples

I will be adding this to her Fall poetry book that she is creating with her poems and others. She also, started a Fall word list.

Math - Horizon k book 1 is done. We reviewed her 2 addition math facts and started on the 3's. We also reviewed the clock, measuring and money.

Reading - OPGTR - we are on lesson 96 and she is doing very well. Of course we do our daily reading and I have been challenging her in what she is reading. She still reads the books that she can pick up on her own to read, but she is the type of child that needs to be challenged as well.

Writing - She is still improving daily.

It's been a great week.
