WEEK 19

BIBLE

We continued our Matthew study this week and read some more in chapter 8. We also read about Quechua in "Window on the World." We also studied about Nate Saint and made a paper "yellow airplane" like the one he flew.

LANGUAGE ARTS

Ryder did Spelling Lesson 19 and got a 16/16 on his spelling test.

They both did handwriting.

Ryder did lesson 26 this week in English.

Mercer did Lesson 37-39 in All About Reading Level 1.

Ryder had reading time every day. He finished his book report on "Stuart Little."

For read aloud time we read chapters 6-8 in "Bash and the Chicken Coop Caper."

 

GEOGRAPHY

This week we continued our study of Brazil. We read color and number words in Portuguese and Ryder completed a flag worksheet writing a summary on what the colors on the flag represent. The geography-themed vocabulary words that Ryder learned about this week were marsh and swamp. We also watched Donald Trump be sworn in as President during the inauguration.

 

SCIENCE

We were busy for science this week! This week we continued our study of the rainforest. We specifically talked about the top two layers - emergent and canopy - and the boys each picked an animal that lives in each layer to talk about during their co-op class on Thursday. We also read more about Primates in the Apologia Land Animals book (Lesson 6). We read an Usborne reader about monkeys. In our "Living World" Encyclopedia we read about the Amazon, the rain forest floor, monkeys, apes, and climbing and gliding animals of the rainforest. Ryder also did a rainforest animal research report on toucans.

 

The twins enjoyed coloring during our school time a few days this week. Check out Ella's feet! She always sits in her high chair like that.

MATH

Mercer did lessons 73-76 in Horizons Math. Ryder did lessons 38-41 in Teaching Textbooks.

 

MUSIC

We listened to "Los Pollitos" on our WeeSing CD.

 

CO-OP

 On Wednesday, Ryder's foundations class had fun being up on their feet playing games! This game was putting words in alphabetical order.

 

Mercer's teacher sent me this picture from their class!

 

For their Thursday class they finished their rainforest diorama and they worked in their Apologia Notebooks on Primates.
