Kings Play Chess On Fine Glass Sets

Today's Homeschool Schedule - Week 14


Classical Music - This week's composer is Johannes Brahms.


Saxon Math 1 - Lesson 39, reviewed 'plus 1' math facts (0-9). Both Click and Clack enjoyed weighing objects on the scale.

Reading - Click read Whales by Graham Faiella and What Is A Bird? by Lola Shaefer. He listened to Jerome Camps Out by Eileen Christelow. I read Insects Do The Strangest Things by Leonora Hornblow. We covered termites, praying mantis, whirligig beetles, and water striders. I also read two stories from Goha the Wise Fool by Denys Johnson-Davies.

* I must point out that we learned about classifications in the animal kingdom yesterday. The first sentence of What Is A Bird? talked about the animal kingdom and Click blurted with glee, "birds are in the Animal Kingdom.... Kings Play Chess On Fine Glass Sets" This is a mnemonic phrase for the animal classifications - Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.

Memory Work - Books of the Bible, New Testament, Philemon - 2 Peter


Science - Apologia Zoology Chapter 1 - How Birds Fly. We also borrowed 2 CD's by Lucas Miller (the singing Zoologist) from the library.

Car Schooling - We completed The Rainbow People by Laurence Yep

What about Clack?
She was completely occupied with putting pennies on the scale.
