Week 7

Things have been a bit slow this week. The kids do not want to sit. They want to MOVE. And fight.

Math: Maeve and Finn both understand how to subtract with renaming or borrowing.

Reading/Lang: Maeve has been reading a lot of books to Oren this week. Finn read a lesson from his McGuffey’s Reader and read part of a tree book. We did a few lessons about proper nouns vs common nouns.

History: We started and finished chapter 6 about Jewish people.

Science: We are studying trees. We measured all of the tree trunks in our yard to figure out the ages of the trees. The kids have become a lot more observant of trees on our walks, which is neat to see. We read about Johnny Chuck in The Burgess Animal Book for Children.

Handwriting: Maeve one page and Finn copied part of the Our Father.

Oren painted this week and did the first two pages from Progressive Phonics Dod the Dog printable book. Oren is not at all interested in letters and sees no reason to know anything about them. He can count to five so that’s something.
