In addition to our outside recess, homeschool indoor continues. Violin practice was only as long as it took our pink birthday candle to burn out! Student liked this idea, but considering birthday candles are rarely allowed to burn completely down, we didn't know how much time we were signing up for...but it was just right! Student played Lightly Row to finish our session, in her favorite effect: comic. Thanks Mac.
Our flashcard fun for place values has grown to the hundreds and thousands because of Student's curiousity. She was looking at a quarter and wanted to know how the number, or year listed had 4 digits and what places they were. So, ask and you shall receive! She is really getting it!
Cursive began with Student's name, this past Summer, but we have moved on to intensive attempts at letter A, B, and C today. She thinks first grade is cursively-cool!
Reading in chapter book, Poppleton, Student also loves this upgrade from Kindergarten. We all know that chapter books sound so... first grade!
Sorting through Space facts, we are looking forward to finishing up this unit in Science. We read our facts at the park today. What better place to learn?
And, continuing in Genesis, Student will begin a unit on Ancient Egypt, tomorrow. We are thinking about separating Bible and History. As we have some requirements to meet, but don't want to leave out the whole reason for homeschooling: His Truth.
DISCLAIMER: The pregnant-brained-Teacher forgot to connect the fact that our Bible history has been taking place in Egypt. Thus, we will continue an Egypt study, really. :) But include more in-depth study of false gods and culture.
Student: In Space unit, I learned about space shuttles and rockets. They have to go 4400 mph so they don't get pulled back by gravity, and stay on Earth.
