This week we are rowing The Clown of God, it is a Christmas legend set in Italy. I was a little worried about this one because it gets a little sad at the end, but the kids seemed to like it plus I have the book's movie.
Geography: Italy
Language arts: vocabulary words, Italian words from the book. What is a legend.
Science: gravity
Math: ordinal numbers
Christian character/Bible study: doing things for God's glory, how God blesses us throughout our lives.
This week we are doing lesson 29 of Math U See, there are 30 lessons in all. I had decided to start MUS Primer the second semester of K so that we could just do math games the first semester of K. Now that we are almost done with primer we'll be starting Alpha the second semester of 1st grade. I like it a lot better like that, that way after summer vacation we go back to something that is familiar instead of starting something completely new.
The last two lessons have to do with subtraction. It is just a general introduction to subtraction, -0 and -1, stuff like that. She seemed to get it just fine.
