Week 35 of Learning 2013-14

We finished up week 35 today, and we’ve already moved into week 36…I can see the end!  YEAH! 
Micah, Kindergarten Bible – Micah continues to work in his AWANAS book.
Phonics – This week Micah worked on plural words and the short ‘u’ sound.  His sight words for the week were ‘do, did, what, do, get.’ 

Poetry – This week Micah’s poem was ‘The Rainbow.’  We used the poem to discuss commas, periods, exclamation marks, and rhyming words.

Math – This week Micah worked on solving for an unknown.  Much to my surprise, the exercises matched the lesson this week, so it was much better. 
Caleb, Fifth Grade Math – Caleb began working on Teaching Textbooks 5 this week, and since it’s mostly review at the beginning, he flew threw 7 lessons.  He worked on number patterns; the way numbers work; numbers and words; millions; greater than/less than; addition basics; and subtraction basics. 
English – This week Caleb began working on adverbs.  He worked on adverbs, adverbs that modify adjectives and other adverbs, and degrees of adverbs.
We’re looking forward to a trip to the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens this week with some fellow homeschoolers.  We’ve never been, so we’re excited to see the zoo and all it had to offer.
