Math:
Abby reviewed some math, but didn't do anything new. I did teach her to subtract past a ten by breaking up the subtrahend. For example, 17-9 she subtracts 7 to get down to 10 and then subtracts 2 more to subtract the whole amount to get 8. This seems to be easier for her to do in her head than decomposing a ten. It'll be interesting to see which one she'll adopt as her main method.
Spelling:
Abby wrote some dictated sentences and words. It was nothing fancy.
Reading:
Abby is continuing to read Me and My Monsters. I did finally get to read the Radish Cure to her. We also finished off How to Eat Fried Worms.
Unit Study:
Because it was the week of Thanksgiving we learned about the history of Thanksgiving. We talked about the Mayflower, the pilgrims, Squanto, the Wampanoag people, etc. We read a few picture books, including one I had as a kid: Sarah Morton's Day.
Religion:
We studied the Tree of Life and Nephi's broken bow this week. Abby has been begging to move on. We repeated following the Iron Rod as well as singing the Iron Rod.
We took a break the next week (the last week in November) to get ready to go on vacation. We did complete some scripture study around Nephi building a boat and their journey to the Promised Land. I'm currently typing this from our hotel room, so no pictures because I loaded those onto our hard drive to make room on my camera's card.
