I Believe I Can Fly

Today's Homeschool Schedule - Week 16

Classical Music - This week's composer is Franz Schubert.

Saxon Math 1 - Lesson 49 - Counting by two's to 20 and identifying even numbers. Saxon gives a lot of drill sheets. Last week the lessons added the date & the day of the week to each work sheet. I've noticed that the additional writing really slows Click down, he loses focus, and begins making errors on facts that he knows. To alleviate the stress of some of the writing, I've started recording his answers on the drill sheet. He will read the problem, give the answer, and I'll write his answer. He seems to enjoy this and he's not pressured to engage in so much writing.

Abacus - We continued our review of the soroban abacus with a few visualization drills.

Science - Apologia Zoology 1 - Chapter 1: Extinction and Extinction Errors. The Dodo bird was mentioned as an extinct animal & Click remembered and referenced the Dodo birds in the movie Ice Age.

Reading - Click read Hoop Heroes by S.A. Kramer - Stephon Marbury. Animals Do the Strangest Things by Leonora Hornblow - covering the camel, lion, and giraffe. I finished the last 3 chapters of Goha the Wise Fool by Denys Davies. Click listened to Froggy Plays in the Band by Jonathan London.

Memory Work - Reviewed New Testament books of the Bible

Games - Click and I engaged in a game of checkers today. He is really improving his strategy.

What about Clack?

Clack spent time taking crayons out & replacing them in the box, scribbling in a coloring book, and snatching the dimes her brother was counting. She is a little song bird, and enjoys imitating her brother. Today's duet was 'I believe I Can Fly'.... precious & priceless moments!
