Our week: 2/7-2/12

We started out so strong!!! Little did I know what was coming...

Math-
Monday- More work on telling time...still going very well! Now they're constantly telling me what time it is instead of asking a million times a day!
Tuesday-Counting/writing numbers 1-20. They are past this..and are bored with it. Do I skip it or just keeping going with the order of the book?
Wednesday-.....
Thursday-.....
Friday-.....
Saturday- shapes/following directions/thinking critical. They are also beyond shapes, but the following directions/critical thinking aspects were fun for them.

Phonics/Writing-
Monday- Introduced the letter "Z", and completed a reading review worksheet.
Tuesday- Phonics evaluation (A+ for both girls! YAY!!), reviewed "z" blends, and we are beginning to learn parts of a story. Today we learned about "titles".

Science-

Social Studies-
Monday- NC unit: We learned all about the state insect- the honeybee! We also learned about voting and did an activity about voting that also tied in Math.
Tuesday- NC unit: We learned about the state capital- Raleigh! We even made a trip to Raleigh to visit the Marbles Museum. Our friends Jonna, Jackson and Austin went with us and we met our friends, The Saufley's, there. This was our first trip to Marbles and we will definitely be back. We loved it!!!

What happened to Wednesday-Friday?!! I was so sick and in bed for the better part of 3 days. Friday evening I decided we would use Saturday as a catch up day. It started out okay, but an hour into our lessons Shaylie starts feeling bad and has a high fever, so off to the doctor we went.

So somehow I have to incorporate the rest of our studies for this week into next week. Come on Spring!! We need these winter illnesses to go AWAY!!!
