We spent the month of March in Indiana while my Dad finished recovering from a surgery he had back in February. Happy to report that he received the all clear from his surgery. We will finish out March now by traveling to South Carolina to be with Daddy-O. We finished a lot of the curriculum I had brought with me when we started our stay in February, so I improvised some with workbooks I had on hand and a few I picked up at the Dollar Tree.
Here is a re-cap of what we have done during this Month.
Not School Related:
We took a field trip one Saturday afternoon with my Mother the Muncie Children’s Museum. Hilariously I think besides the slide our girls enjoyed the school room replica the most.
We also celebrated Thumper’s 4th birthday. Since we were in Indiana we were lucky enough to get to celebrate with some friends of our whose son shares the same birthday with her and is her “birthday buddy”.
We spent a few other days playing with our friends here and spending a few more days with my Mom before we head out to South Carolina. We were also able to share a visit with my sister and nephew (along with their cute puppy) who came in from Kansas during their spring break.
During Our School Time:
Together:
Together we finished our Read Aloud and study of Greek myths in History. We also explored more of the Human Body and looked at the Digestive system and we have started working on the circulatory system. We have begun to read The Year of Miss Agnes. I had the girls draw some during our Read Aloud time, because I couldn’t print of the doodle sheets I had made to go along with this book.
Mouse: She finished up to week 18 f our Writing with Ease program (as that is all that I had brought with us). I improvised for a few days encouraging her to use her spelling words to create some sentences. We are now on Step 23 of All About Spelling Level 1 and should finish it up when we start school back up in South Carolina. Since she had already finished All About Reading Level 2 I improvised here as well with some reading workbooks I had in my stash. She learned more about homophones and rhyming words in these workbooks. Since I also didn’t have any more math lessons with us and she finished the Kumon workbook dealing with coins I picked up a time and money workbook and an addition workbook from the dollar tree to tied us over as well. In her state work she complete the states Ohio and Missouri.
Thumper: In addition to turning four (which according to her makes her a big girl for all sorts of things), we completed the letters F and G. We will gear up for a review when we get to South Carolina. She worked on rhyming words in All About Reading Pre-Level, which she had a lot of fun with. Her favorite video during her music time was a ASL video and Little Red video.
