We finished reading "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl this week. And on Thursday had a special field trip to watch the play. So fun! Now, my kids have the acting fever again =)
Bible - We're talking about Joseph and the trial and tribulations he went through.
History - Ancient Egypt - We discussed the Great Pyramid and the Great Sphinx and had fun discussing mummies and heiroglyphics.
Science - Mercury...didn't get to our model making this week. Hopefully, next week with pictures
Math - Jonathan is doing basic geometry. Stephen is working with measurement conversions and equations. Sarah is telling time, adding double digit numbers, and all the memory skip counting work. She's added in weight measurements this week too.
Language Arts - Jonathan is working with adjectives. Stephen is working on when to use teach/learn, set/sit, may/can, to/too/two.
Spelling - The boys finished up book 1 of Sequential Spelling this week so mom needs to decide what is next ASAP! I'm thiking of switching to All About Spelling for all. Sarah is still using her 1st grade spelling book that I bought her.
Writing - Sarah is writing simple stories from word prompts and pictures. Stephen has been working in his Cub Scout book. Jonthan is finishing up week 23 in Writing with Ease.
We continued our normal scouting and sports activites as well this week. Basketball and Cheerleading all end this week. And we've decided not to do a thing this Spring and Summer!
Here's what we picked up from the library this week.

ReplyDeleteThe Piggly Wiggly books have always been a hit at our house.
We used to live in southern New Mexico. We took our kids to Carlsbad Caverns in 2006. My oldest still talks about it. Looks like a fun week for everyone. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great week! Egypt is such a fun study.
ReplyDeleteDid they get any CHOCOLATE to go with the book and field trip? ;0)
ReplyDeleteI *love* Skippy-Jon Jones! I haven't read that particular one, but he's so much fun. I'll have to remember Charlie as a possible next read-aloud. That was a good book.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun week. Jonathan's book choices look exactly like my son would pick out!
