February Wrap-up

I’m doing the monthly wrap-up again…the weekly ones just seem to come due too quickly :)

In February…

ds9 {third grade}

 

• crossed two more books off of his third grade reading list {African Adventures and A Llama in the Family}
• began a new Latin curriculum {a review product} ~ he is really enjoying the cd that came along with this curriculum…it includes some very catchy chants :)
• learned about  prepositions, the object of the preposition, and prepositional phrases in First Language Lessons 3
• tracked the weather for the month of February on a weather chart…we had some crazy weather too :)
• transitioned to a new handwriting program
• spent a fun night at a local college basketball game
• set up a sweet valentine’s luncheon for his younger siblings

 dd6 {first grade}

• put stickers on steps 19, 20 & 21 of her All About Spelling chart…only three more steps to go ‘til she is finished with Level 1!
• has been practicing her reading skills by reading practically everything in sight ~ including signs, cereal boxes, book covers…which makes this mama’s heart so glad :)
• recited four poems from her FLL1 book {“The Caterpillar”, “Work”, “The Days of the Week”, and “The Months”}
• had a grand time with her daddy at the Daddy/Daughter dance
• spent hours on the internet with her daddy looking at pictures of adoptable doggies 

ds4 {busy preschooler}

• blew a bunch of bubbles and chased them around the front yard

as a family

• finished up a couple more read-alouds {Dr. Doolittle and The Apprentice}
• learned about explorers, the Renaissance, and the Elizabethan time period in our history studies {does anyone else’s kiddos giggle uncontrollably when every time they hear the word “tudor” as in the Tudor monarchs, or does that just happen in my house? :)}
• read two wonderful picture books in history including Michelangelo and Good Queen Bess, both by Diane Stanley
• took the 9yo and the 6yo to their first art class

Me

• made it halfway through the Bible in 90 Days challenge!

• watch more Kinderbach online lessons {review to come in early April}
