What a day! We had a rocky start but were able to work through it and get on with class. We didn’t get all our assignments completed but there is always tomorrow!
We are still working on Henry W. Longfellow’s, “Paul Revere’s Ride” that she is learning for the next 5 weeks. Today she worked on learning the new piece for this week and then tied the 2 pieces together. It’s coming along very well and I think she’ll have it all memorized in 5 weeks. Yesterday Daddy gave us a suggestion on how she should present her poem and I’m liking his suggestion! Can’t wait to hear it.
Yesterday we worked on the Preamble to the Constitution and today Isabel had to write one for our home.
Working on her Preamble for our house.
See below for what she wrote.
(insert photo of Preamble for home)
We worked heavily on multiplication tables. We went over 2’s and 3’s again and then mixed it up. I also adding simple regrouping and she caught on to that quickly. We also did some simple division problems, it was mixed but she had no problem working them out. We also did a few large number addition and subtraction with regrouping. Any problems that she missed we went back over them together. She did a fantastic job!
We did not get our 2 new states completed today, so we will just push them both out for tomorrow to do. Tomorrow we will be doing Vermont, so we can add those 2.
In Bible we continued the story of Solomon and Paul (night time devotions).
Coloring page for today.
Second coloring page.
I wanted to add Isabel’s spelling test today, to show how her cursive writing is coming along.
She missed 3 words today:
wouldn’t – she wrote woudn’t
Hoboken (New Jersey)- she wrote Hobokin
Julie – she wrote July (don’t know what she was thinking there!)
Her penmanship is beautiful!
I didn’t mark it against her for grammar errors like the apostrophe and not crossing her “t”. This is spelling, we discuss them and move on.
