Weekly Update: Pandas

Art: Govinda drew a beautiful panda bear with help from Draw Write Now. I look forward to doing more art in school from now on. He really has fun drawing.


Phonics: We did lessons 146-140. The focus was the 'qu' sound, with practice distinguishing 'qu' from 'pu'. The story was called 'Quack and Quill', a cute story about a duck and porcupine. Govinda is reading so much now, I'm always thankful and amazed.

Math: We did lessons 101-105. This was the first formal addition sentences, practicing counting, joining groups, and adding to find the sum. He did a great job with it. We took different numbers of counters and found all the different ways to add to that sum. Math is still a lot of fun for him.

Science/Geography/ Literature: We read more of the same books as last week and focused on Panda bears and how they are different than other bears. We also read some extra books about ducks to go along with Story About Ping. Ducks Don't Get Wet was a good one. We had fun making cone-shaped rice farmer hats, but they wouldn't let me take a picture of them, but they're really cute.

And now we're on our way to Japan! Yay!
