In the Works

By
Wow. This school year is all but over! I can't believe it!

Between now and the end of the school year, we will be doing the following:


Dawson ~ 8th Grade
  • Exploration Period, focusing on Swiss Family Robinson (for 17 days of school)
  • Renaissance and Restoration periods, until the last day of school, with an end-of-school trip to The Renaissance Festival.
  • Lots of pre-algebra, language arts reviews, typing, spanish and science units going along with the above-units.

Brynne ~ 1st Grade
  • Our last week of For the Birds, with focus book The Perfect Nest.
  • Three week of Easter studies.
  • Since Earth Day falls the Friday before Easter, we will study Earth Day the last week of April with some really fun books and activities. We will spend April 30th making May Baskets to deliver to Brynne's friends, in cognito, on May 1st.
  • The Month of May ~ a study on the Milly-Molly-Mandy series.
  • We will be doing a couple of weeks of study on both Time and Money and will also be focusing on addition math facts.
And then we will be on Summer break. Our last day of school is Thursday, May 26th. And of course I'm already thinking about next year.

ABCya

By
Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.

Under the date, there are listed anywhere from one to several events that occurred in history on that date. THEN there are ALL kinds of things to do related to that event, such as books to read, websites to visit, ac
