Today we accomplished a lot. In addition to school, we engage in extra reading, and went for a two mile walk. Well, I walked, Click rode his bike and Clack rode in the stroller. You would think extra brain and physical activity would wear out my two bundles of joy, but it seems counterproductive. They have more energy!
Today's Homeschool Schedule - Week 16
Classical Music - This week's composer is Franz Schubert.
Saxon Math 1 - Lesson 45 - Click completed an assessment and learned to count dimes in relation to 10 pennies.
History - Story of the World 1 - Chapter 32 b,c,&d. This covered China: Warring States, The First Emperor and the Great Wall, and The First Emperor's Grave
Reading - Click read Egg to Chick by Millicent Selsam. I read Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock by Eric Kimmel and Kingdom of the Sun - a book of the planets (covering the moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, & Saturn) by Jacqueline Mitton. This is a beautifully illustrated book that explores the features of planets and compares them to the gods after which they were named. Click listened to Lionel and Louise by Stephen Krensky again.
Memory Work - Reviewed New Testament books of the Bible
Physical Education - Click rode his bicycle for about 30 minutes.
Video Education - Occassionally Click will have the opportunity to watch a video during the week. Today he watched Families of China. It contains two short segments that follow a different child around for the day, introducing viewers to the child's life.
What about Clack?
She was into everything today - pennies, counting bears, clay, coloring books, you name it! One fascinating note - while her brother was counting his pennies (all 80 of them) she would chime in and repeat in Clackenese! She has an extremely clear 2, the rest is a foreign language.
