Week # 3

This week it's all about Dinosaurs for Soccer Boy as we learn about the letter D.  We read several dinosaur books, colored, glued, sorted, traced and finally made a cute little dinosaur to add to our tree. He has been walking all over the house saying the "D" says "da"...very cute!

This week we're off to the very beautiful Spain.  We looked at pictures from our trip a couple of years ago, as well as looked at some of the Spanish tiles we brought home.  We spent time talking about how Spain is a peninsula and how they differ from islands.  We learned a few Spanish words and watched a video on Christopher Columbus and his voyages from Spain.  We ended our week studying about a very famous Spanish artist, Pablo Picasso, and re-created one of his masterpieces of a dancing clown (using geometric shapes and collage techniques).  We began studying about the thousands place in math and continued our parts of a sentence in language arts.  She had her very first spelling test and didn't miss a one!  In science, we are doing an overview of the study of botany.  We began our Bible lessons, learning about how God made us each unique and special in our own way:)
