Started at 9am with the student prayer/devotionals as usual. Looked up Acts 24:6 in the real bible. talked about the footnotes and how to find ch and verse in the bible, looked at the table to contents and how to find the chapters by page number quickly. I will add this to our daily routine because it is good to know.
Faith and Life- reviewed Ch 1 and did pop quiz: Who made you? Who is God? Where is God? Does God know everything? I gave her a 95% which she was not happy with but I said we don't have to be perfect! Read chapter 2 in Faith and Life about the trinity. Great chapter! Vocab- Trinity and Mystery.
Math- we did the actual lesson from Friday, so lesson 4. I learned you can't do a math lesson in the parked car very well and all we actually accomplished on Friday was the worksheet. So today we did the lesson. Adding doubles 1+1=2, 2+2+4 etc. Used tiles to see how the piles are equal and even. Also did LOTS of counting backwards and need to do more! Worked on above, below, right and left and diagonal of numbers on our big hundred chart. Used manipulative single cubes to hide numbers on the paper hundred chart to find what numbers I covered. We reviewed time; Half past, writing digital time, saying verbal time, and writing all the different ways.
10:30- some jump rope and veggies and hummus!
Sylvie chose to do Science next: Read about inclined planes and levers. Read the page on the tools from Explore and learn book. We hammered a nail into a board and pulled it out, then moved the fulcrum of the hammer closer to the nail and felt that it was easier to pull out. Also opened a can of peaches using the pull-top and talked about where was the fulcrum and lever was on the can lid. Dug in the garden with a trowel to see how that tool made it easier to dig. Finished at 11:15. This was GREAT!
Reading- read the poem Washing form the Book of Virtues on page 41. Sylvie will do more reading of Winnie the Pooh classic text for rest time. Chapters 8-10.
Spelling- super easy words for her again- up and in words. She did the worksheet and I offered her a choice to either write down all the rest of the words or a verbal quiz. she happily chose the verbal quiz and got them all right. Worked on handwriting a bit on the worksheet.
Grammar- More practice on titles of respect. Did the worksheet. Finished all work by 11:30
Recorder- After LOTS of struggling with the fingering last week, she somehow got it perfect right away today!! Go figure! Read page 8 and learned note B and can play both well! Way to go US!!
