Week 26



   So this is the last week before Tater's 2 week break. This week we worked hard on learning our last 3 continents, spelling, and math and the ocean.
 
Can you count o-n-e, t-w-o, t-h-r-e-e.  We worked hard on counting and spelling this week. We counted one through ten. Amazingly, the hardest word eight, was the easiest word for Tater to get. We did some counting with blocks, and some fractions work as well. We counted, jumped, and learned our way through numbers.

  Speaking of fractions, she passed her math test. She has really excelled in her fractions work. When our break is over we are going to be working on time, or money. It depends on what my lesson plans entail.

   In science we learned about the shoreline. We learned about the plants, formations, and the animals that made their home in the ocean. We also discussed the shoreline and the types of sand that we could come across. We also did lots of crafts involving sand. It made some pretty cool pictures.

   We also finished working on Asia, Antarctica, and Australia this week. She passed her continent test, and we worked on learning about animals, culture, and weather of the 3 remaining continents. For Asia we made a Chinese meal, for Australia we made a koala bear, and for Antarctica we made snowmen out of marshmallows.

   Jr Bug worked on the letter 7 and the letter G. We counted, sand, watched, and colored. This has been an awesome week with school. I've been busy teaching, playing, learning and growing. Its been an awesome week. But, I am so reaqdy for a break. Jr Bug will still be doing school. We need to keep moving so he doesn't lose the momentum that we have started.
