Week in Review August 31, 2012

The weather is finally cooling down a little.  The boys were able to get out and ride bikes a couple of times this week (which means it is cool enough for mommy to sit out with them).  We also ran in the sprinklers a couple of times.  Here is a picture of the fun.

 

Jonathan loves Rightstart math!  The games are so fun and he wants to play them over and over.  His favorite is guess my number.  Here is a picture of him working with his abacus to guess the number behind the rooster file (screen) in the background.

We also worked on squares and rectangles with our 1" tiles.

He is doing well with the Delightful Handwriting and is almost through all the capital letters.  

For science this week we read the story 'A Century Plant's Wish' from Outdoor Secrets and looked at pictures on the internet of the century plant.  Then he drew century plants in his nature journal.

We also brought out the paints for some art time. 

Scripture memory and reading books were done throughout the week.  We read some Aesop Fables this week and they are much easier for him try out his narration.  We hope you had a blessed week!
