First week of school down!

We started school on Monday, September 1st.

Apart from our regular math & language arts work, we jumped right back into our history book! Last week we read about life in early Crete. This is the beginning of our Greece unit, which means Jayden is super excited. We read about their "sport" (bull jumping), Theseus and the Minotaur, as well as what happened in Crete after Thera's volcano.

Jayden did some map work and they both colored a picture. They also worked on a maze (not pictured) that led Theseus to the minotaur.

 

Our first science unit began with weather. We read And now... the Weather by Anita Ganeri. We read about thermometers, rain gauges, and clouds.

 

Jayden is very excited to be learning cursive. His handwriting is so much better in cursive! The first full word he learned to write is dad.

 We both really like the Handwriting Without Tears program!

We have been spending lots of time at the library, which is such a peaceful time! We do school work there in the afternoon. We take turns reading to each other before we read to ourselves.

 This is my favorite picture from last week! <3
