Week 5

Week 5 brought a new set of spelling words. Jayden has gotten 100% on every spelling test so far.

 In writing, Jayden worked on correcting choppy sentences.

In Grammar he is working on capitalization.

 Caitlin is still working on her sentences.

Her first two sentences tell what day it is, and her full name. Her final sentence says whatever she wants it to say. Beneath it she always draws a picture.

 She is still working in her math workbook, practicing addition.

Both J & C are working on greetings in Spanish.

Cait's worksheet came from here.

Jay's worksheet came from here.

Continuing on with the human body unit, we are now working on muscles. The children learned that muscles pull, not push. They also learned that as muscles contract they shorten. After our reading we worked on an experiment which demonstrated the muscles (the brown string) shortening as they contracted. The kids recorded their findings.

We also looked over our library books on the muscular system.
