Elementary Weekly Wrap-Up: Fall Week 8

It has been a busy week here as the kids are getting anxious to go trick-or-treating. Everyday they are looking for opportunities to wear their costumes. Next week I am giving them two days off. One day we are going to spend a day at the Pumpkin Patch, and the other is the day after Halloween! I think they definitely deserve it though. Take a look!!

 For math DJ had fun matching the long chains to the squares and doing liquid measurements.                                                                          

  Ken stayed busy with the Decimal Board and the Stamp game practicing division.

They were delighted to create their own balance using a ruler while studying Piet Mondrian.

For Language there was a lot of fun stuff. In All About Spelling they learned a spelling strategy to how spell tion.

Grammar work was always being done.

DJ took to the reading analysis work, he described it as a fun game:)

              On Thursday he published his third writing work that involved all the steps in the writing process.                                                            

        They reviewed their Latin words while reading a fun story,                                                                            

They completed their second Chemistry lab. What they learned was the difference from a physical test and a chemical test. This was the first time that they record their findings as they went along in our home school. It was a blast and they are loving our science work.

After the lab they continued to explore with cooking oil and food coloring.                                                                            
                                                                           

DJ did some history research as well as a snake report that you can read on his blog The Edison Project

               Ken did some research on Landmarks.                                                          

          We started our election headquarters. Stay tuned for some really cool mock elections child led.
