Reading/Language Arts : Continued reading the Tale of Paddy Muskrat, and entering it into the reading journal. Mimzy was getting a bit overwhelmed by how much she had to copy, so we also talked about breaking her work into easy-to-consume "chunks". The poem we studied this week was an old favorite of hers, "Rhinos Purple, Hippos Green" by Michael Patrick Hearn.Math : Worked on mixed problems (+, -, x, ÷) in her journal. We also used Splashmath.com once a day, and played math games with Easy Peasy Homeschool.
Social Studies : Read “Columcille of Ireland”, and drew a picture about the story. We also discussed the part that Druid and Christian monks played in preserving our history and knowledge during the Dark Ages.
Science : This week we researched natural cycles. We made a chart to track her sleep, hunger, and energy level through the week.
Health : We did a review of the past 5 weeks' lessons. She also had a chance to use her first aid kit on an injury at the zoo.
Art : Drawing and painting for other subjects, painting with tempera paints just for fun. She did a great job mixing basic colors (white, black, green, yellow, red)!
Music : Continued learning recorder.
Craft : Continued learning to crochet.
Extra : Karate lessons, Spanish lessons at Duolingo, and we also went to Homeschool Day at the zoo! Mimzy also got some first-hand knowledge of plumbing when she watched the contractor (who also homeschools, pleasant surprise!) replace our leaking tub.
