Week 10 U ~ Us {11/7 - 11/11/2011}

This week we studied all about the Letter U and the Number 7. We also studied about "US".

We learned all about our 5 senses, we learned that we have a Skeletal System - including 206 bones, we learned about our muscles, and we learned that blood travels through our bodies in veins.

Our Memory Verse for the week was Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Week 9 ~ Review Week ~ {10/31 - 11/4-2011}

This week we spent reviewing our first 8 weeks. This idea kinda came to me late, but better later than never, right? The curriculum originally plans for you to spend 6 days on each lesson. However, their 6th day is just a reading day and since we read our Library books a couple days a week, it didn't really make sense to me to have a reading day. Nor does it make sense to me that you would carry over from one week to the next!! They don't intend for you to do six days a week, but rather just carry to the next week. Hello? Really? Obviously, the people that made this curriculum are not Type A people, but alas, I have figured out a solution. So, going forth we will do 5 weeks worth of lessons and then on the 6th week, we will take one day to review each of the previous 5 lessons.

It was really nice this week to go over all that the girls learned about the subjects we studied, the memory verses and practice writing those number and letters again.

So, that was this past week. We had to double up on some of the days, but all in all, it was a good review week and I look forward to incorporating these weeks into our schedule!

Week 8 T ~ Turtle {10/24 - 10/28/2011}

This week we studied the Letter T and Turtle and the Number 6. We learned some pretty interesting facts about turtles... Turtles do not have any teeth and they also do not have any bones! We learned that some Turtles live on land and some in the water. We talked about how turtles are really slow and can't run and we read about the Tortoise and the Hare and how the turtle had perseverance.
