The Molecular Shape of You

(Ed Sheeran Parody) | A Capella Science

Whaaaaaaaaat, a video?

Yes, I made a video.  Ok, that's not what is so amazing, what IS amazing is that I am in it!!!!

No, sit down!  You're in it?

Yep.

This week { week 33 - Yay }

We went back to doing MOH II with all seriousness.

A copywork - coloring - worksheets

Chloe went back to work in here:

I kept food experimenting.  This one turned out great - pizza pockets, essentially.  { But done like Korean Hotteok }  So it's in a bread dough.

Phebe started Grade 5 Bible.

Charlotte is nearly finished her beginning sounds book.

Most of her maths this week was simply counting and writing to 20.

And the big ticket is that we are doing Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Lessons.  Doing awesome!!

I made a little sticker chart to keep track of them.

Chloe went back to doing essays for Science.

and Charlotte had a go at this little gem.

Ok, my chookies.  

Hope you enjoyed the video. 

Thanks for visiting.

{ Week 3 }

This week we went shopping for our yearly consumables.  

Here's what $170 looks like:

Yeah, not much really, but enough to get us through the year, I should think.

Something that I've noticed is that Hannah likes to do a lot of doodling in her own free time.  This week I even managed to capture some of them:

One of the activities for this week was:

Hannah continues to work in her Grade 2 English workbook.

Here's page 88, but she's now up to page 91.

Chloe is the only one who actually started the Grade 3 book at the beginning of the year.  Phebe isn't too far behind, she just needs to finish Book 2 first.

* * * * *

We continued on with our spelling extras.

Here's Chloe's.  I can't show you Hannah's because she didn't do as well with it.  Never mind, she'll get a second go at it again next week.

One of the things that I've been getting the girlies to do with their spelling words is to write out their definitions, since one of the main things we want to do with them is to help build up some of their vocabulary.  This one is Hannah's.

Phebe whizzed through this little book.  I got the entire set from Dover.  I highly recommend them.

* * * * *

Chloe finished reading her Bible story book so I decided to dig this back out of the cupboard and let her have a go at it.  It has 3 weeks worth of work in it.  After that I'm not sure if she'll go back to some sort of Bible reading or on to the next book, we'll see how she fares first.

* * * * *

Finally, this week I managed to take some little video's of the girls.  This video was spontaneous, so we didn't have any time to pretty ourselves up.  I hope you enjoy the video.  Don't forget to let me know what you think.  I'm thinking of doing some videos on a regular basis.  :o)

This week I'll be joining up with:

 I hope you'll join us.

Syllabification

Have you ever wondered HOW important syllabification is in the process of learning to read?

As it turns out it is extremely important~!!

The best part is when you give this skill to a 4 year old and watch her read several grades above her year level, now that is cool.  You won't believe what it will do for their reading ability. All of a sudden they'll be able to read large academic words without a problem.

This is an amazing tool to have in your reading cupboard.  A must have.

Day Planners

Today I'm doing a quick little show and tell with a walk through on the planners we'll be using for next year { starting in January }. Our school year runs a little different here in Australia.
