For Soccer Boy, it was the letter "Ii". He liked this letter because he got some yummy ice cream. Along with our letter, we also learned about the number 3, the circle, and read stories about Rockets & Spaceships. We also added an "Iguana" to our alphabet tree.
For Artsy Girl, we "dug" into the topic of Rocks & Minerals. We read the Magic School Bus "Inside the Earth" and completed the Young Scientists Kit about fossils, minerals and crystals. We made our own fossils.
We practiced using the Mohs scale for mineral hardness. We put together a geology lap book. We also used this great kit from the Smithsonian Museum, in which she and Caden chiseled through stone to unearth 9 rocks, minerals & gemstones. They thought this was great! We began this little project inside, but quickly moved outside as soon I realized how messy this was going to get. After we cleaned all the stones, we performed tests to figure out what they were. 3 were rocks and minerals and the other 6 were polished gemstones. Super fun!
In Bible, we continued our study about Moses. In Math, she did so great on her test. I'm so proud, even though she does not like Math. In Language Arts, Grammar & Spelling, we began our study about verbs and compound words. She is also continuing reading each night in her chapter books. This week is more of the Magic School Bus and their journey inside the Grand Canyon. For Art this week, she learned all about Jackson Pollock and his splatter paint technique. She created her own piece. I really thought she would love this, but she said it's just not as pretty as Van Gogh's art.
That about wraps it up for this week. Next week we will spend the week learning all about "Fall/Autumn".
