Third Grade: Day 120

It’s finally Friday!

We had such a good week and we got so much accomplished! Isabel is improving on her multiplication facts, she still struggles with 7, 8, 9 and 12 but she’s getting better! I found this awesome website that let’s you print free math worksheets. I’ve been giving her worksheets to do daily on her multiplication tables. So great.

We started class late today but we all needed the rest after arriving home from the R.and W.R.S. late last night.

In the classroom:

Since I knew ahead of time that we were going to the concert, I was able to plan for a lighter day today.

We opened with Bible and continued the stories of Elisha in 2 Kings 5:1-9 and in Acts 28:17-31 we finished with Paul ministering in Rome.

Listening to Jamie while she doing her lessons.

After Bible, we moved onto her memorization poem. It’s been 3 weeks and she’s gotten more then half of it memorized. I’m so proud of her and her hard work! Today I had her practice the whole poem with me recording her. So she can see and hear how she sounds. She forgot to say the name of the poem and the author at the beginning. She also spends a lot of time playing with her fingers and her shirt. Otherwise she did a great job. Next week we’ll add another section of the poem to memorize.

After the poem we did our daily spelling test.

Missed 2 words today: volunteering and career.
I just love her cursive writing and she’s enjoying doing it more!

After spelling we moved onto this week’s dictation passage from Psalm 27:1,5.

Again, her penmanship is just lovely!

We then went to lunch. We had a quick lunch with Daddy before he headed back to the office for meetings over-the-phone. When lunch was finished, we did our reading in “The Candymakers” by W. Mass and “From Sea to Shining Sea” by P. Marshall and D. Manuel.

While I was reading “The Candymakers“, I had Isabel draw some from the book or relating to the book. She spent her time making her own candy creations on paper.

She said her favorites would be the “fruity-pops” and the ???

Later in the afternoon we worked on math and did a 5 minute speed test on multiplication facts.

She was mad at herself because she got few problems completed than yesterday.
I reminded her it’s not about getting more boxes completed and filled it’s about learning the problems.

After all her school work was finished, she sat down to practice the piano and than spent some time riding down the stairs on her rump! Enjoy the weekend ahead and we’ll see you on Monday!
