Almost the weekend!!!

This week has been a very productive one with the kids. Our daughter reviewed all the letters and their sounds, focusing on Q. She also reviewed writing numbers up to 12. We did puzzles, crafts, games and both kids planted the first of our seeds...peppers! I am excited for another year of growing fresh food!
Our boy worked primarily on dictation, wrote and memorized a poem (about Dinos of course), practiced counting money, number place value and bar graphs.
Our Science lessons this week were focused on the planet Mars. We read a lot and did an experiment of dropping marbles in flour to visualize how craters are formed. We learned that Mars has the biggest volcano and canyon in our solar system.
What wonderful, learning adventures! I am so grateful for the opportunities and challenges that being a Mother brings.
