In Lesson 17 Caleb learned more addition facts, doing lots of practice with them. He also continues to apply the math he has learned in everyday situations, like keeping track of his money and helping to bake and cook at home.
LANGUAGE ARTS
Caleb worked on word endings UB, UG, UM, UN. He continues to practice reading daily. "My favorite book this week was Agent A to Agent Z." It was an alphabet book about secret agents.
SCIENCE & S.S.
In the past few weeks we have read many books about Volanoes, watched some videos, and Caleb made some mini-books about Volcano facts he learned. This week Caleb put these together to make a lapbook about Volcanoes. He made a nice Volcano picture out of construction paper for the cover. "I liked seeing what volcanoes look like and how dangerous they are." The volcano books led into learning about how different types of rocks are formed. We had some sunny days where we hiked and collected many rocks to examine with a magnifying glass and compare to pictures of rocks in books.
As our economics lessons over the last weeks have had us reading books about early Americans and trading with Indians, we have also been discussing other people and events in American history and read a story about Abraham Lincoln.
Caleb practiced words in Spanish and listened and sang with songs in Spanish.
ART
Caleb began making heart-shaped Valentines and also worked on his fiber projects. We attended a show with many different singers and musicians. Afterward, we discovered www.sfskids.org (from a CVA newsletter) which was full of fun ways to learn about instruments and music. Caleb also practiced his recorder.
P.E.
Some nicer days this week gave us a chance to do some hiking, in addition to Caleb playing games with the kids at his Art & Movement class.
