March 4 - 8

MATH

Preston:

Preston completed two assignments in his math book this week.  He also worked on wrap-ups and some math fact reviewing with our Dr. Seuss celebration using One Fish, Two Fish to work on adding and subtracting.  

Marissa:

Marissa completed two assignments in her math book this week.  She completed One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish math fact drills during our fun Dr. Seuss celebration (we were a little late to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday, but decided to have a week focusing on some of our favorite books anyway).  We used One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish as a focus for some extra math fun.   

Caleb:

Caleb got to count a lot of fish and practice adding with our One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish math fun.  He loved it and even talked me into buying Sweedish fish for a treat afterwards.  

LANGUAGE ARTS

Preston:

Preston completed two assignments in his language arts book this week.  We did extra reading and activities to celebrate Dr. Seuss.   

Marissa: 

Marissa worked on reading this week.  She worked on reading Bob books and also practicing reading with Dr. Seuss books.  She is really good at "Green Egg and Ham," "The Cat in the Hat," and "Hop on Pop."   

Caleb:

Caleb loved learning with games this week.  His favorite was "Hop on Pop" hopscotch.  It was more of a hopping game than hopscotch, but was a fun way for the kids to practice their reading in time with jumping from word to word.  Caleb wasn't quite able to read all the words so Preston was his helper and played the game right along side Caleb.  It was so much fun!  

HISTORY (WORLD GEOGRAPHY)

Preston, Marissa & Caleb:

We studied Spain again for world geography this week.  My books finally came in at the library so we spent most of the class reading fun books about Spain.  Our favorite was "Ferdinand the Bull."  The kids also loved reading "Don Quixote and the Windmills" and could not stop laughing thinking about Don Quixote and Sancho Panza fighting the big bad windmills with their weapons.  

TECH (BUILDING & ENGINEERING)

Preston:

Preston is on a Lego kick right now so we've been doing most of our building and engineering around Lego's lately.  Caleb loves to imitate his big brother so he has been building with Lego's a lot as well.  Last week, Preston built the structure for a spaceship.  He got so excited about it that he spent time building onto it this week.  

Marissa:

Marissa loved learning about Picasso and how his paintings were the origins of collages.  She made her very own collage this week, and it turned out AWESOME!

Caleb:

Caleb wanted to be like his big brother and built his own spaceship out of Lego's all by himself!  

OPTIONAL (PE)

Preston:

Preston attended karate three times last week.  One more week until his belt test!  

Marissa:

Marissa attended her tumbling class this week.  She has her whip and tuck on the trampoline and is now working on landing them on the tumbling track.

Caleb:

Caleb attended karate twice last week.  He will be belt testing next week.  

OTHER

We attended Weber High School's production of Wiley and the Hairy Man for a field trip this week.  It was so much fun!
