Stone Soup

I'm having an issue with spacing and I'm too sleepy to figure it out. When I do, I'll come back and edit this post to make it more reader friendly.

Today's Homeschool Schedule - Week 15

Classical Music - This week's composer is Joseph Haydn.

Saxon Math 1 - Lesson 41 & Soroban Abacus review. I received the materials from www.Nurtureminds.com, now we're able to continue our abacus lessons.

History - Story of the World 1 - Chapter 31 The Mauryan Empire of India

Reading - Click read chapter 1 (Penny Hardaway) of Hoop Heroes by S.A. Krammer. I read the last 2 chapters of The Monitor - The Iron Warship That Changed The World by Gare Thompson and one story from Goha the Wise Fool by Denys Davies.

Bloom's Taxonomy - About twice a month we'll read a story and follow the questions outlined in What If The Wolf Were An Octopus K-2 (A Guide to Creative Questioning for Primary Grade Literature). This week I read Stone Soup by Marcia Brown. We only covered the first 3 levels of questioning (Knowledge, Comprehension, & Application). We will read the story again when Click is a little older and better able to grasp the concepts of the questions in levels 3-6 (Analysis, Synthesis, & Evaluation).

Here is one of the Application activities and Click's response:

Cook your own 'Stone Soup." Record your recipe.

Click's recipe

Stones, guacamole, carrots, milk, a piece of house, potatoes, water, doggies, spagehetti, raisins, watermelon, chicken, beef, apples, and bananas.

Quite interesting.........

Handwriting Without Tears - copywork words - 'ice' and 'dice'

Memory Work - Reviewed Books of the Bible and learned 1 John - Revelation

What about Clack?

Today Clack sharpened pencils (with a battery operated sharpener) and played the recorder before laying down for a nap.
