This week we are back to our lessons. (I am trying to get out of the habit of calling it “school”.) Princess G held two thumbs up and said, “All right! School is the best!” WOW! That surprised me. I guess we are doing better than I even thought!
This week we will cover (she is 7.5 years old):
Bible: the Tower of Babel–unified rebellion
English: Writing & Spelling Road to Reading and Thinking, McGuffey reader (I’m pondering Raquel’s post on English), Daily Grams
History: this week we are studying along with Bible the ancient culture of Hammurabi and the Tower of Babel
Geography: Earthquakes as part of Earth’s crust
Math: continue in Ray’s Arithmetic–multiplication
Literature: Continuing the study of the solar system
Art: beginning our study of books as art
Princess S is 4 and will be along with us from time to time and she will work on her phonics as well.
At the end of the week I’ll discuss in more detail about what principles we discussed in all these subjects and how I approached and reinforced it.
