School Week 7 2011-2012

This week X7 is rowing the book Climbing Kansas Mountains.  I love this book and I know X7 is going to love it as well!

X7 is doing very well with keeping up with our other subjects, the goal of course is to focus on learning how to read, but he is enjoying all the Co op activities, especially the journal entries and geography. 

For science this week we are skipping a few lessons so that we can go over lessons 13 and 14.  We need the nice weather for the experiments.  After lesson 14 we will be going back to lesson 5.

A9 is having a great time with her independent reading, she read 3 books last week! She will be done with A Mouse Called Wolf  today and should be able to start the next one as well.  No idea which one she is going to pick next but for Co op she is going to be reading Ramona Forever.  I did mention that instead of reading 3 books for Co op it was decided to assign one book a month.   We are doing written narrations (plot summaries) for each book she reads. I'm the one writing it since at this point in time it's not necessary to have her write about every book she reads.

X7's Co op book for October will be one of my all time faves... Mr. Putter and Tabby Pour the Tea! I can't wait to see what Mrs. Long is going to do with these two books, they got to do a diorama for The Littles book and it came out so nice! I will post a pic very soon.
