Thursday, October 4th

Thursday. 

Started our day by going to the bank with a ton of cash to change to 100s to pay the tree men that our at our house taking down trees as we speak. The teller lady was very impressed at how Sylvie counted all the cash out into 100s.  She talked us into coming back on Monday to sign up for a free kid account. 

Got home and watched the tree guys for a while, it is amazing how the guy climbs all the way up this huge tree. It is very distracting while we are trying to work and not run to the window each time a huge branch falls and booms on the ground!  Practicing the virtue of temperance!  

Faith and Life- We read about St. Sylvia!  we played Jeopardy with our Mass vocabulary words and she did GREAT!  our words are:  sanctuary lamp, examination of conscience, original sin, sacrament, sacrafice, "house of bread", Amen, martyr, tabernacle, Bible, genuflect, Mary, chalice, alleluia, angel, Our Father, monstrance, grace, prayer.

Math- meeting strip. Lesson 18. more work on even and odds to 20, counting up and down.  Still need practice on this! Also counted up from 103 to 122 while writing down the numbers.   Reviewed geometric shapes: hexagon, triangle, square, circle, parallelogram and trapezoid. Worked on fractions with the shape blocks 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4, and 1/6 seeing how they fit together on the shape pattern.  Practiced doubles, timed test on 0, doulbes, and plus 1.  Got 100% and 25/25 done in 55 seconds! 

Spelling Test- 100% on test 5

Literature- Read Happiness in a Shoelace.  She has also finished the entire hardcover book of Winnie the Pooh.   Has read all of the Ramona books and is working on the rest of the Beverly Cleary series during rest time too!  Pics of our tree work to follow later on!
