The kids completed the Signs of Spring notebooking page from HarmonyArtMom:
Not sure what's up with Lydia and her parentheses!
Lydia also worked on some review of fractions, addition, subtraction and multiplication with the old Horizons workbook. I think she's a little tired of Math-U-See and times tables. She used to say math was her favorite subject... I'm not sure what killed it for her. We've tried a variety of things, but I'm obviously not on the right page. And she's so GOOD at math, that's what is really getting to me! If she stunk at it, I could understand more readily why it is she dislikes it.
On the literature front, we're in the middle of The Twenty-One Balloons. It's a fictional account of a man who flies over the Pacific in a balloon and ends up landing on the island of Krakatoa. At least that's as far as we've gotten... It's a Sonlight book (we're not doing Sonlight this year, but they have fantastic books in their curriculum). Lydia is enjoying it.
Lydia also began working on a pink wool felt kitty from The big book of soft toys
by Mabs Tyler. At $0.01 you can't beat it! It's full of great little projects, many of which are appropriate for small hands just learning to stitch.

Look at those wonderful journal pages! I love your signs of spring and I appreciate you linking up so we can see what you did for your OH.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
I jumped to your blog from Barb's and I just happened to read about your Math-U-See struggles. We too have been experiencing that (after 5 years!) Check out "Math on the Level." We LOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm checking it out right now!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed The Twenty-One Balloons. It was our read aloud a couple of years ago.
