September 18th

Happy Tuesday!  Lots of laughter today already! 

Usual beginning, prayers and daily kid devotion. See all pics for examples. (I update the pictures throughout the blog every other day or so, so check back a few posts for pics I may have added for previous days!)    



Found chapter and verse and getting good at it!  We went back to Ch. 1 in the Faith and Life and answered all the review questions from God the Father, the Trinity and this week's chapter on God the Creator.  She knew them all.  I think I will do these review questions like this (going back 3 or so chapters) every week just for reinforcement.  We also listened/watched another YouTube video of All Things Bright and Beautiful.  this is the one we watched today and like it best:  AllThingsBrightandBeautifulVideo.  We did the activity answers and she will do the coloring at rest time.  

Math- did the meeting book, looked at birthdays, worked on patterns, I tried to make harder ones, but she is really good at it and I only stumped her once.  Practiced counting forward and backward by ones and by tens to 100.  She is getting better! We practiced her doubles to 20 again, and she really has gotten better due to all of our reviewing in the car and random times yesterday!  She did the math facts doubles test, same one as yesterday, and got 21 out of 25 finished with 100% accuracy with only 1 minute given, whereas yesterday she got 16/25 finished with 14 accurate answers with 2 minutes given!  Wahoooooo!   We worked on  the some, some more game with the shape tiles, adding more shapes to the "party" and writing down the addition as we went.  Learned about carrying the one and she did great with that. Then we did about 8 money flashcards, again adding them up, but writing them down to "prove it".  (We are headed to the post office and I will let her pay again with change, so I wanted to practice.)  She is definitley better than last week!  

yes, this is messy, but look how great the math is! I had only planned to do one problem with her, but it turned into many!


We did the mind bender game- critical thinking skills. This was great fun and she did really well.  I love leaving the subject when she wants to do more! 



 We also did one handwriting exercise- she took her time and did better than last week. 

Next, she worked on Science-  read the next chapter on wedge, screws and wheels.  There was some surprising facts and made her laugh, so we will have fun reviewing it again tomorrow! She did the activity at the end of the chapter easily.  

  Finally, since our pizza Book-It coupons came we are writing down an official book it list towards earning a pizza. She read Fried Feathers for Thanksgiving while I typed this blog.   Pictures to follow!   Off to the post office to mail back Frank's guaranteed shoes for a replacement pair!
