Week 31

MATH
Caleb took his test for Lesson 27 and started Lesson 28 in Math.  The lesson covers subtraction by 6 and adds on to his other addition and subtraction skills.


LANGUAGE ARTS
Caleb learned consonant blend ST this week, as well as practiced writing sentences.  One of the pages he did was a sentence and picture about his Easter weekend.  We read two bunny-themed books, a funny story called Bigfoot CindeRrrrrella, and more.  "I liked Little House on the Prairie this week.  Their house was surrounded by big, wild wolves!"


S.S. & Science
Caleb read his books about the Loch Ness Monster to research his lapbook.  We spent time exploring outside; Caleb checked on his decomposing materials and we talked about how plants matter breaks down.  We are researching how to build a compost bin, preparing soil for planting, identifying insects and worms we find outside, and watching the weather (snow and hail again, at the end of April!). 

For Social Studies, we have been reading stories and fairy tales that teach and discuss good citizenship skills and acts, including helpfulness, respect and compassion.

ART
Caleb did drawing and coloring this week.  He made up a comic using stamps, which he really had fun doing.

P.E.
Caleb did active play and games outside with friends and took walks.  "I walked to the Fish Hatchery (in Colville) with my friends.  We spotted squirrels but no fish!"
