We will be taking it easy with the academic aspects of school for a bit since the baby is getting molars and needs me to be with him more. We skipped math this week and read lots of stories instead.
Geography: We colored the map and flag of the Netherlands and read many stories from the book list. Our favorites are Boxes For Katje, Father May I Come, The Hole In The Dike, and The First Tulips In Holland.
Science: We're starting off our human body study with a brief overview with The Magic School Bus Inside The Human Body and also Why I Sneeze, Shiver, Hiccup, & Yawn (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2), which came early to the library and fit perfectly in with our phonics reader in which a snail that kept sneezing. I hope to get this science study going with lots of living books sprinkled with projects and experiments for fun, all for free, thanks to the library.
Language Arts: We did lessons 31-35. The focus was on the 'long a' sound spelled 'ai'. The reader was Snuff The Snail, another action packed funny story. Homophones were introduced (same sounding words with different spellings and meanings), which went along with the 'ai' spelling words, waist and waste, male and mail, tale and tail, pale and pail.
