the Homeschool returned from it's hiatus.
Math brought new measuring concepts. Student's new measuring rhetoric included:
pint
quart
gallon
Having been soooo big for the past year and pouring her own milk,
Student was familiar with gallon and it's usual liquid contents.
Toddler began with his Old Skool desk of letters.
He had a personal grudge against the letter "Q". As soon as that letter showed up, he was done! Trying to skip past it and continue choosing magnet letters and arranging them in alphabetical order, Teacher attempted to continue. WOOHOO! Another mastermind winning tallied up for manipulative instructors!
Continuing in Language, Student has had some practice in suffixes already this first grade year. However, the new idea of doubling the consonant at the end of a single syllable root word with a short vowel...that's new and adventurous story!
Here are her brain's examples:
Hugged
Sitting
Spinning
Pinned
Getting more involved in time and temperature, Student wants to give the degrees in which the following would occur: (from a midwestern perspective, of course...)
Swim outdoors= 90 degrees
Ride your bike= my fav time is about 70 degrees
Play barefoot at the park= 99 degrees, but not at rubber parks, cuz it would melt your foot!
Build a snowman= 30 degrees, as long as it's good packing snow, though...
Play in rain= 70 degrees and in the Spring!
Visit the zoo= 100 degrees in the summer!
Finishing her Electricity unit, Student will squeeze in the human body before break! Hope we can get that flashlight back together!
Of course, there will probably be computer during break, as Student uses every venue possible for Art!
History is trying to book right along as we see the semester ENDING soon! 6 days and counting down!
