So this week we did the Dakotas. Spent a lot of time on Mount Rushmore. But let me be honest... Spring fever took over. We wrapped up studies in LA, Math, Spelling, History, and Sci in prep for our Spring Break! So there is not much to add this week.. here's the brief over view......
Reading- Ying finished up the Tales from the Odyssey series with The Final Battle. Yang Read Sarah, Plain, and Tall.
Math- Reintroduction of multiplication through arrays. We will start on the memorization of facts after the break.
Spelling- Lesson 31
Language Arts- We are nearing completion of time4learning 2nd grade LA. few more lessons and then we'll have to see where we go....
Read aloud- We tried a book called Navigating Early. I had pre-read parts and the story is great but it just didn't work as a read aloud with my kids. Its very complicated in style. I am sure a great middle school read but not for 2nd and pre-k even as read aloud... So we've moved on the recommendation from our children's librarian that's totally from left field called Bunnicula by James and Deborah Howe.
Science- The girls put together there whole human body they had been working on in co-op. We also study more about forces and engerey ( ya that lap book didn't work but the info was great... we just ran out of time and attention span!)
History-- We read the assigned stuff on the northern plains but the girls are still very into the Civil War so we revisited one of favorite local site the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield. We spent a little time in the museum and watched the movie about the battle for Atlanta. Then we walked the trails and looked at the old fortifications and talk about the battle.
