In the middle of VBS week, Student has been waking up late. Schedule? Not this week!
We began with our 1 mile bike ride in the morning sun and shade. She and Toddler loved going under the highway, they usually don't get to go in that direction, so there wasn't much fuss to keep them going! They have gone 2 miles before, but it was a bit of a struggle. So, this was truly a nice length of ride to help Student wake up today.
Reading goes on and on, faster and faster. Her favorite books take less time to get through, and Toddler requests more and more of her developing reading for his pleasure. She is especially excited about graduating to chapter books. It just sounds so big!
A short review of subtraction, Student says she is ready to move up to double digit subtraction. Those asteroids sure make it fun to do Math. Student does well both with and without the manipulatives, at this point.
To finish our lesson on Creation, in Bible History, an Artwork is included that parallels with the subject, Student did some learning about The Sistine Chapel Frescoes. Her very own version of creation is quite nice! This super site saves her painting and displays it in action, just as she designed it, color by color, stroke by stroke. We love Art.com You can view it here:
Student: As you can see, mountains that slant down, come forth rocky land. One rock, burst up by the pressure of the Earth, and God is sitting in the middle, and the sky is over His head, as you can see.
More facts about space are lingering in Student's brain, as we are hoping to get all 100 done soon!
