Week 9

Math: We started the chapter about length and measurement. We discussed centimeter and meter. The kids were terribly bored and Finn claimed it wasn’t math.

History: Finished chapter 8 and a story about Gilgamesh.

Science: We continued our nature study about trees. We read from Nature Connection about changing seasons. We are taking a break from the Burgess Animal Book for Children because the kids think it’s repetitive and not so interesting. I’ll try again later, but I agree with them that this isn’t his most interesting book.

Handwriting: letters q and z and review. Finn did a couple of pages from Explode the Code. I need to order the next Handwriting Without Tears book for him because he hates ETC.

Reading: lots of reading done at bedtime for younger siblings.

School work was a bit spotty again this week because the changing weather has interrupted our flow. We’ll get back into the swing of things soon enough, but as long as the kids are happy and exploring, I am happy.
