They watched the movie (with real people) yesterday that incorporated the original story plus a lot of the sequel stories we've been reading. (Madeline & Bad Hat, Madeline's Rescue, etc.) We also read Madeline Says Merci today. It was a book about manners and we stopped and talked about each part. The kid's are learning a few French words this week...including "si vous plait" and "merci" (please & thank you).
K continues to call the Eiffel tower the "Rifle Tower" - makes me laugh and D always corrects her every time they see it in one of the Madeline books.
D studied a map of France today and learned how to read the topography map of France...he found it fascinating. He also learned a bit about Paris, the Euro and what the weather is like in France.
I've been making a few new file folder math games for K to help her with addition. This game came from File Folder Fun's website. She will finish up Singapore Early Bird math in a few weeks and I need some things to keep her busy before moving into 1A. (I'm not sure she'll be ready for it this year or not...)
D began a math unit on money on Tuesday. Today, we pulled out a fun game (found at a thrift shop Sunday :o) called Cool Cash Bingo. He loved it and I love that it's a fun way to count a lot of $ including half-dollars!
K finished learning to write all her uppercase letters Monday and reviewed all of them on Tuesday...
She loves to write and I'm happy with the HWT book! Should have used it for D's printing two years ago! Oh well, I'm learning...
