Time really does fly! Last week we thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and did not do any official schooling at all....though the kids learned a bit of geography, science & social studies through the week by traveling, watching the weather change constantly (lots of snow) and getting reacquainted with extended family. :o)
We began Unit 11 today. Drew was happy to finally get the pilgrims to Plymouth...seems like they have journeyed forever to get to the new world! :o) He learned how they built their houses today...chopping down trees, making planks, pegs, etc...lots of hard work!
He's continuing in his math with measurement - using centimeters and meters. He's doing a great job - only problem we don't have a meter stick...so we're always visualizing 10 cm off the end of our yardstick. Ha!
Kate learned about God choosing Gideon's army today - the story about narrowing down the army by the way they drank from the river...hand to mouth or like an animal. Drew was listening in and told me he would have drank like an animal so he wouldn't have to fight.
Kate's having fun flipping through the preschool "Brain Quest" cards the past few weeks. She answers questions about math, nursery rhymes, science, social skills, etc.
