Finishing up the week...

Not much to report, but thought I'd just touch base with a sort of weekly wrap-up.

Language Arts:
Elf is doing well with ETC 3. This week we covered lesson two, which is long versus short vowel sounds. I sometimes spell out words for him in the car too, so he's getting extra practice. He's also been reading bits of a Little Bear book out loud to me. Fairy is working on Get Set for the Code, which she is buzzing right through. Fo our bedtime read-aloud, I am reading Charlotte's Web to the kids, and so far, they're really enjoying it.

Math:
Elf is up through lesson 80 in Saxon Math 2. We are doing fractions, measuring, telling time to the half hour, addition, subtraction, and story problems.
Fairy still loves her math workbook. She's working on identifying mixed groups of numbers (objects) correctly. I've also been working on some very basic addition with her.

History:
We read the rest of Cat Mummies this week, and made a virtual mummy (again). We are still working on our sarcophagus. The kids also watched a documentary on ancient Egypt/Mesopotamia with their dad.

Science:
We're working on completing unit two in RS4K Pre-Biology. It's all about the jobs cells do in the body, human or animal... or plant. We're also putting up a bird feeder in the yard this weekend, and I hope to start a compost pile, with their help.

And really, that's about it. It's been kind of a light week, due to hectic schedules, dentist appointments, and me having to study for my first math exam (next Monday).
