Last week home school review

  Whew, I really have no idea where the time goes.  Last week we started on week 20 of Phonics Road.  I realize now that I skipped a review of week 19, not sure what happened there.  We did it though, because the complete sheet and book is in the Apprentice binder.
     Nothing new to introduce, just spelling words and the illustrating of a book.  The same actually goes for this week as well.  So we reviewed a little of the days of the week, worked in some categorizing and then a worksheet on observation.  I know some weeks may not seem like much, but don't forget, we do a lot of reading- I read to the boys and Superman reads his share.

                            


  For math I introduced some telling time.  Hours, half hours and minutes.  We reviewed number placement on a number line.  And of course the norm of addition/subtraction drill.  I also tossed in a page of word problems.

 
 

  I don't have a photo of our complete science week, but we went over flowers and some types of flowers.  Our experiment was to see how water travels through the stem.  We placed four white Carnations in four glasses of dyed water.  After a few days, the flowers in the blue dye looked like this.  They and the red ones are now quite pretty and colorful.  There will be a follow up photo at the end of this week.
