Thursday - C.O. was much more focused than in the past on his schoolwork, and we made our way through a lot of it! We started with math (lessons 13A & B), with sorting various objects, in this case colored paper triangles and squares, both by color and shape. We added the word "angle" to C.O.'s vocabulary. The we worked on Maps, Globes and Graphs, which does improve quite a bit after the first section! The new section we did was on looking at pictures to find objects and to notice differences. We also worked a bit in HM Phonics and HWOT.
C.J. worked on the letter A. She colored a large picture of an alligator holding a big "A", and then found & circled all 5 "A's" in another picture, followed by more coloring.
Today - C.J. had her first gymnastics class, and she loved it! I was afarid she'd be a little shy, but nope! She marched in there yelling "I'm here for dimnastics!". They did circuits of different activities, like climbing, using hands & feet to go over parallel bars, somersaulting, and her favorite, lots of trampoline work! The gymnastics center here has a play area for other kids too, with loads of toys, which was great for C.O.
Right now, the kids are making video clips with M. In a bit, we're cleaning up the back patio, and planting all of the pansies we picked up today, plus starting, finally, the catnip. I have some great worksheets on planting seeds and plant growth that we can work through later, plus we will likely work on some math and phonics.
On another note, I am seriously considering signing up as the volunteer editor for the gardening newsletter put out monthly by C.O.'s charter school. I think it might be fun!
Tomorrow we are off to a local harvest fair! This fits right in with our nature table, which we are still setting up, and the farm/plant studies we're getting into.
