Week 2!

J & C have been doing  amazing with their school work! This week we are incorporating history (2x a week) and science (2x a week) into our schedule.

Jayden got 100% on his math and spelling tests the first week of school. This week we moved on to Lesson 2 in spelling.

 For writing and grammar, Jayden practiced identifying subjects, predicates, and verbs.
 


Caitlin really surprised me by asking if she could do 3 pages of addition in her workbook.
Last year we used preschool number worksheets from Confessions of a Homeschooler. They have become too easy for Caitlin so I printed out her free and AMAZING kindergarten number worksheets here. Caitlin will practice writing the numbers 1-20 in standard form and word form as well as do a number search located on the bottom. I put the pages in a book with page protectors. She uses dry erase markers so that we can get the most use out of these pages without having to continuously reprint!
We restarted The Story of the World for, oh I don't know, the millionth time! Jayden was especially anxious to continue at the part we left off, but none of us could remember what happened. This school year we also have the activity guide to go along with our history curriculum so this will be the LAST restart!
The introduction included words such as history, historian, archeology, and archeologist. Along with reading the introduction, I found an adorable craft at the Dollar Store to show a little bit of our history.


Note the crown Caitlin drew on her head!

I love how Jayden drew Caitlin's hair!

I put our clothes line back up in the living room to display their fine artwork!
