Week 24

PreK:

Emmett did a bit of rod play this week. He built a staircase to earn some candy. When I bribe him, he's more than willing to perform. I took this picture before he put in the last rod. Can you tell which color was missing?

Math:

We worked through MEP Y1 Week 26. Her focus number this week was 15 and she worked through it without complaint.

She asked to do a few problems in Singapore 1B and sped through something like 30 pages. And this is why we work with a few different math curricula!

Language Arts:

We worked through the first step in All About Spelling 2 this week. It is a bit of a more formal review. It is difficult to work with it when Hyrum is awake though!

Abby is still working through her cursive. Even though it's not easy for her, she says it is still her favorite part. This week we worked with the letters u, e and l. She knows six letters now!

In FLL1, we learned that we capitalize proper nouns and what proper nouns are.

Geography:

We learned about Europe this week. With this focus, we mostly talked about famous monuments in Europe.

PE:

There was no PE class this week because of Valentine's Day...

Extra:

Valentine's Day was Tuesday. I think I read Pinkalicious four times that day. Because it was V Day, we made pink cupcakes just like in the book.

On Friday, we did some art stuff. I showed the kids Noah's Ark by Edward Hicks. We discussed the picture and the story of Noah. Then I asked each of them to paint a rainbow.

Daddy's birthday was on Saturday, so we went to the Science Museum and renewed our membership.
