School Week 31 and 32

Okay, spring break is over and we are back at work or rather school. We have four weeks to go!!
I got a lot accomplished in the two weeks we had off. I have the book list for both kids done. I also have a very good idea and plan for next fall for both kids. During the summer I'll be working on the weekly folders for each kid, can't wait.. I love getting everything ready!!


School Week 31
We rowed the book The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Wonderful story however we didn't get in to the book as much, instead we learned more about the author Beatrix Potter. We watched the movie Miss Potter and watched a documentary about her that was in the DVD. Here life was truly a fairy tale!
A8 loved the movie, she loved the parts were Beatrix was drawing her wonderful bunny friends.
A8 got to draw using watercolors just like Miss Potter.


School Week 32
This week we are rowing the book Down, Down the Mountain. I'm not sure what we are doing with this book because I don't have my planner with me.. oops.. ha ha! I will edit this post when I get a hold of it.
Edit.
Geography: Blue Ridge Mountains, what is a mountain?
Language arts: Vocabulary, onomatopoeia, alliteration
Science: turnips, night time birds

X5 is rowing the book Katy No Pocket and doing a lapbook.

This Thursday is Earth day, the kids and I are going on a field trip to watch the Disney movie, Oceans.
