Climbing Kansas Mountains


This week we are rowing Climbing Kansas Mountains. It is the story of a boy and his father doing something special, just the two of them, no brothers!
Geography: Kansas, land forms(plains, hills, mountains, etc)
Language arts: idioms(Kansas Mountains, when pigs fly, etc)
Science: wheat
We will be doing a lapbook for this story as well. Doing lapbooks with each story has been very beneficial to A6, it is a great way to review everything she's learned throughout the week.
We are almost done with book one of Reading made easy. Next week we'll get to start book 2!
For math u see we'll be finishing Primer by mid December and come January we'll start Alpha.
We are still working on the calendar and nutrition this week. We'll be taking a field trip to the pumpkin patch as well! Sometime next week we'll be going on a leaf hunt.
BTW, X4 is back to normal, no fever after that first night, and the hunt for a piano is looking promising!
