Week 9

The kids are making really good music.  Keep up the good work.

Another week of great presentations.  The kids are doing wonderfully.  Next week's presentation is Classic Poetry - Memorize and recite a classic poem.  Enjoy preparing.

New Grammar
Math
We started memorizing the 15s table.  We picked a couple of facts and kept going over it over and over again.  So far the kids are enjoying it and having fun remembering the math facts.  Try this at home and you'll have a lot of fun.

English - Song:  CCC NoGreaterJoy5
The irregular verb "lay".  when practicing at home, be careful to differentiate it to next week's "lie".

Science - Song:  CCC NoGreaterJoy5
We learned about the lymph system.  We discussed a little bit about the different parts and functions about the lymph system.  If you want to learn more about the less known system, check this fun site out.

Latin - Song:  CCC NoGreaterJoy5
We learned about the Latin rules for Verbs and we reviewed all the Conjugations.  The kids remembered them all with a little help from each other.

Timeline - Song:  CC CD
We reviewed what was introduced at the opening ceremony. I keep reminding them of the date markers (always on the board) that might help them as we continue to learn more of the Timeline.

History - Song:  CC CD
We briefly discussed the Compromise of 1850, the Fugitive Slave Act and Dred Scott Decision. To learn more about this, check this and this out. 

Geography - Song:  CCC NoGreaterJoy5
We added five more states... The kids seem to be doing great with their drawings.  Please remind them to bring in their finished work.

Science Project
We've been coloring the different organs and we continue with the five common topics - definition, comparison, relationship, circumstances, and testimony.

Review was short but we were able to go through almost all weeks on all subjects.  Keep reviewing at home.

Have a wonderful week.  See you all next week!

Sincerely,
Zabrina
