Monday Music

Reading keeps on bringing new ideas and stories into Student's brain. She began Reading in the Abeka 2nd Grade storybook from Mrs. Val. She picked her fav of 6 stories she read in the sunny backyard and summarized the Real Princess to Warrior. He even related it to the puppet show he last saw at the local library. Those thinkers!

Language had Student practicing more sentence structure and cursive along the way. TOday's topic: breakfast.
Four things you like for breakfast:
toast
eggs
bacon
stroodle

Two sentences about your fav breakfast:
My favorite was eggs! Breakfast is your first meal so your hungry!

Violin moves through Long Long Ago as we wish for it to be LONG LONG GONE...we tried playing a game to have fun reviewing for the special guest-teacher this weekend at peer group class, and it did bring smiles to our faces!



Math brought practice of number lines concepts, and Mr. Clock review. Student also worked on feet to yard conversions. She had thoughts as to whether to use a ruler or yard stick to measure the following:
Rug in living room: yard stick
Violin: ruler
Porch: yard stick

Subtracting double-digit numbers, and learning about scale drawings, Student completed her work!

It was Mascot that had a skill-developmental lesson from Warrior today: the sock ball!



Working on returning items given to him, eye-control to focus on moving objects, awareness of throwing an object with a ouroise (doesn't EVERY boy need to learn this?!) and further eye-hand coordination, Mascot enjoyed his learning-play with big Warrior!

Cuddling for a pre-nap read, Warrior asked for Lil Bill! Mascot much enjoyed the bright illustrations, and it wasn't until Warrior squeezed Mascots leg for kicking him that the reading and warmth was interrupted. Alas, to nap he goes, and to play the Homeschool goes!
