Saxon Math & History

Last week we started Caitlin on Saxon Math for kindergarten.

We began with a calendar showing the month of November. I explained the difference between the date and the day. 

 Next up she had to make whatever she wanted with the geometric pattern blocks.

 She chose to make cheeseburgers.

 She also made the letter I.

And finally she made a restaurant counter. The diamonds and triangles show where the customer had to pay for the new cheeseburgers she made.

We are now up to Ancient Africa in The Story of the World.  This will run until the end of this week.

We read a short story called "Anansi and the Turtle". (the video of the story is here). Then the kids colored in a picture.

 The pictures went up on our line as well!

 And finally, Jayden worked on some of his map work.
