Week 12

What did we do week 12? I'm asking myself :) because there is so much going on I cant' remember.
Ok.....

Math: Both boys are plugging along. Turkey Lips has realized that he will have to do two pages in math :) in one day. I have found it helps to send him to a room that Turtle Toes and I are not in. I'm going to need to buy the next MUS book for Turkey Lips because he as 4 lessons left. Oh Honey.....I'm going to need some Money (said in my sweetest singsong voice...think Sound of Music...ok you don't have to laugh out loud :) ) Turtle Toes is going to need the Primer from MUS. Oh Honey.....


Reading:

• Turkey Lips has been reading for 20min on his own at rest time and then also reading out loud to me. His out loud reading this week has been about Christmas in England (he had to do a project for Co-op). We have taken a break from SWR for the month of December. I'm probably going to regret that when we come back to school in January but my plan is to take SWR on Christmas vacation with me and hammer out a solid plan on how I want to use it. From previous posts you can see that I'm floundering a bit with this curriculum however I REALLY like it. I need to work on how it fits best for Turkey Lips.


• Turtle Toes is chipping away at the BOB Books. I went to the library and got some harder ones. His response..... "these have more words" :)

TOG:

• We had a great week with TOG although we didn't do any of the hands on activities. (because we have been doing Christmas stuff)


• We learned about Ferdinand Magellan. We all thought it was wonderful. We had a great time reading about him and tracing his route on the globe.


• We also reviewed a bit on Christopher Columbus from last week. We also listened to an audio story on Christopher Columbus that we all enjoyed.
  

Christmas:

• We are still working on our Christmas Symbols lapbook and we will finish that up this week.


• We also read various Christmas books.

Fun:

• A desert snowball fight!
