Preparing for week 3

This week starts week 3. Tater has done well up until this point.  Her math skills are truly being tested but she has the heart of a champion. So this week we will focus on Bible devotions the story of Noah and the Ark. We are working on preparing for our first spelling test in 2 weeks. So to prepare for this we are working on vowel sounds.  Short ones right now.  In social studies we are going to be  learning about neighborhoods.  This is our first time that I've taught from a text book, so this will be interesting. Also in science we are going to have our first science experience.  We are learning about bones in the body.  Last week we learned about the body and what we use each part of our body for.  This week we are learning about the skeletal system.  We are going to take a chicken bone and make it rubbery.  And how we need our skeletal system to keep us strong.  We are going back into the Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teach Your Child to Read. Tater has learned to read from this book so we are going to continue our reading skills. 
Jr Bug is going to keep learning his Bible stories and coloring. We are also going to color some shapes this week. 
As always, both kids are continuing their work on Bible verses. See you at the end of the week.
