September 25

Elyse and Luka both headed to school today since she is feeling better. 

Started off Student prayer, everyday blessings, and ch and verse.  We re-read our memory gems from all the previous weeks and did great!  Reviewed our faith and life worksheet from yesterday.  Wrote the answers to our Bible quiz game on the backs of the cards so they are all set to play. Worked on memorizing the St. Michael prayer and the act of contrition and talked about all the vocabulary.

Math- meeting book, weather date, year etc.  counted forward and backward, by 1s, 5s, 10 from 1-100.  Learned to count by 3's by singing the schoolhouse rock 3's song.  Wrote the multiples of 3 on the board, up to 60 and found the pattern of how it works. 

Worked on time today per the lesson. One hour from now, one hour ago etc. using real life activities we do at home. Noticed how on the clock face we are counting by 3s. Syvlie likes to make square numbers when she writes digital time.  It's kinda cute but also a little annoying because it is time consuming.  Did the math facts time sheet for plus one numbers. she didnt want to review the facts, just wanted to take the test because it was going to be so EASY! She got 24/25 in 1 min with 100% accuracy.  We did worksheet 12A together and took a break.  She will do the homework at rest time. 

We took a fast walk around the short loop in our neighborhood today for break time. 

Map Skills- figured out bigger or smaller than and near and far from.  Super easy and fun! 


Spelling- we worked on half of the worksheet together, and she will do the rest of it for rest time with the math page.  Promised to write it extra neatly so it will count for handwriting practice for today too.   

Devotional Story- Mold, Maggots and Cow Manure- interesting title! All about the "yucky" things that God has made for our good- mold= penicillan, maggots used in science and manure as fertilizer. 

Recorder- reviewd the quarter note,  half note and learned beats and measure.  We played note B and worked on the activities.  Then we learned A and reviewed where A and B are on the lines.  We also just barely learned the whole note before we had to stop to get the kids from preschool.  When I learned music, it was Every Good Boy Does Find-, well, now it is Enormous Green Boots Don't Fit, and still FACE, which I guess is so easy to remember it couldn't be beat.   Starting to get tricky, playing both notes A and B in quarter notes, half notes and now whole notes.
