As Mom and Teacher, I'll give a brief description of what he has done in each subject for the week.

Week 34

MATH
Caleb finished Lesson 30 and took his test.  It is the last lesson in his 1st grade math book!  For the remainder of the school year, we are going to work on telling time and some fun sheets that will review everything he has learned.

LANGUAGE ARTS
Caleb learned how to read and write words starting with WH.  He also learned how to add ED to the end of words and he came up with a sentence that used an ED word.  He worked in his handwriting book.  We read from Little House on the Prairie, finished reading the Frog and Toad Are Friends stories, and Caleb practiced reading out loud.



S.S. & SCIENCE
Caleb continued to do lots of activities outside, planting, observing, and reading about nature.  The picture he drew shows things underground AND above ground.  "I wanted to show what it is like under the dirt where the roots grow.  All plants have roots.  Big plants have big roots and little plants have little roots."  Caleb got to see, up close, how big tree roots can be when he found some upturned trees after last weekend's wind storm.

Caleb is learning the names of body parts in Spanish and is filling in a worksheet as he learns them.  He also has learned several different songs to go along with the numbers, letters, days of the week, and body parts that he knows.


ART
Caleb made some fun decorations in art class, including light cover decoration for his room.  He also learned to make many different paper airplanes (which inspired one of the Language Arts pages pictured above.)

P.E.
Caleb has a great time exercises and playing outdoor games with friends.
