The last full week of January

Wow, this month has really gone by fast. Jenna and I are in the middle of building a snow fort. We hope to continue working on it everyday next week. Jenna had another good week of school. I found a fun way to go over math facts with her. We use her hopscotch mat and she jumps on the number that is the answer. Soon enough I will be timing her to see how fast she can get the answers.

Here is what she did this week

Math - Horizon k book 2 - she did 4 lessons, reviewed math facts and money.

Reading - Explode the code book 3 - she did 2 lessons. She also read aloud.

Spelling - Spelling workout B - We are on lesson 5. She struggled at the beginning of the week with bread and said, but by the end of the week she knew all her spelling words. So we did the Jenna got a 100 spelling dance.

Grammer - First language lessons 1 - She really enjoys this. So far she has memorized 2 poems. Knows the definition of a noun. And she is starting to be able to pick out common and proper nouns.

Writing- Writing with ease 1 - We did four lessons. She would rather not do this, but copy work and narration is important so we do it.

Geography - She is still just working on knowing the seven continents (which she she knows very well now). She nows north,south,east and west. She is also working on knowing the countries in North America. Then we will move on to a different continent. I still want to make a salt map with her. I really need to research about this online.

For some reason we did not do Art this week. I did clean off my big table so we can get creative next week. I am looking forward to making some valantines with her.
