Blog Workings

I have put our school schedule on the side bar. I am going to get on once a week to report attendance, whether or not we stuck to the schedule, how far we are in our books, and any additional activities or books that we are reading. I will hopefully soon be attaching to this blog a list of books being currently read and books completed.

Last Two Weeks

From the 22nd of September to the 3rd of October we had school everyday (except weekends). We did one lesson of math a day, Kaycie continues reading James and the Giant Peach and writing assignments. We learned about Jamestown. We watched the movie, the New World.  We have completed two chapters in our Science Book. We started gymnastics and Greek dancing. We have yet to start music. We are on schedule.

Field Trips

From the 1st of September- the 19th we did not go to any school. However we did some field trips. We went to the National Zoo,Watkins Park and Nature Center, the Bird Sanctuary in Rhode Island, the Reed Gold Mine, Purgatory/Beach/Crabbing trip where we learned about rock formations, sea life, and tides.

Week 2

Monday:

Christian Studies: Today the kids read a chapter of their scripture stories. We decided to move Kaycie exclusively to the 3rd grade reading and Jolie to the Children's Bible. I'm worried it may be a little much for her but we will see. We listened to the scripture of the day, read the Saint of the day, and sand the Toporian and Kontokian of the Nativity of the Theotokos. We are also singing the Morning Psalm 63.

Math: Kaycie finished lesson 3. Jolie and Kieffer finished lesson 5. Kaycie and Jolie played a corners card game.

Writting: Kaycie designed a ticket for JATGP (James and the Giant Peach). Kaycie and Jolie both did a lesson in the penmanship book. They also continued to write out their continent poem.

Reading: Kaycie read two chapters of JATGP, and one Chapter of Winnie the Pooh. Jolie read some cursive handwriting to practice the difference between reading cursive and print.

Science: We read one page of EXE (Exploring Planet Earth).

History: We read Chapter 2 of SOTW (Story of the World).

We will be taking a break from Greek, Music, and PE lessons until we get back from vacation.
