WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS

PRESTON

Preston learned a fun song for piano this week.  He learned it in one week.  It had a duet part so his teacher sent me the video of their little performance.  It turned out so great! 

MARISSA

Marissa was so excited to get to make her own calendar when her Doodle Crate arrived this week.  She painted 12 separate paintings to represent different seasons or special things on certain days.  She did a great job and always loves when a painting project is part of her lessons for the day! 

CALEB

This week Caleb got to make flip books with rhyming words.  We have also been working on reading sheets.  This is going to be his focus for awhile.  He also completes math on the iPad regularly and participates in family learning, but we are working really hard on reading for the time being.  

OTHER

SCIENCE

We are loving reading biography books right now!!  I am trying to set a steady pace so we don't read the whole stack in one day, but some days we get more reading in than anticipated.  This week we really enjoyed learning about Wangari Maathai through two different books.  Our favorite was "Seeds of Change" but we learned different things by reading them both.

We also LOVED a book called "The Quilmaker's Gift!"  It's one of our new favorites and will be put on a list of books we want to purchase.
