Sorry, no pictures today. :o(
D had a big math review page today...36 math problems reviewing +0, +1, +2 +9 and +8...all the facts he's learned the past few weeks. He did really well...though he ended up going to the living room to work on it as K was dancing around her to Bella Dancerella video downstairs and D complained he couldn't concentrate. He only missed 2 problems and that was because he chose not to use the blocks. :o(
We began reading aloud Danny Meadow Mouse today, discovering that Danny wishes he had a longer tale like his cousin Whitefoot. He wasn't content with the way he was made... D and I talked about being content with how God made us. D says, "I am, Mommy!" Guess Mommy needs to keep learning that lesson! :o)
K learned more about Samson today and glued paper flowers to letter "I" which she can name and say the sound for. She always begs me to do more "schoolwork" so she usually gets a coloring book and joins D and I at the table while he works on a lot of his subjects.
D's Bible story was about the angels telling the shepherd's about Jesus' birth. For his activity, we felt our throat vibrate while we talked, sang, spoke in a low voice, etc. We filled 4 glasses with various amounts of water and listening to the vibration each glass made when tapped with a spoon. K liked this activity, too.
For Phonics D learned about consonant digraphs (two consonants on the end of a word that say a sound together...like "sh" instead of the sounds for each letter). The words were fairly easy for him to read which is good. He has four more books to read for his Book-It for November. He also only has two weeks left to use his coupon from October. I think he'll be using it to have a fun lunch or dinner with J soon!
