Day 14

Good day for the fourth grade, and the excitement of pre-K. Bad day for the second grade. In fact my second grade 'class' is still sitting directly behind me, breathing down my neck and refusing to finish a math page. I am just about at my wit's end with the second grade today!

Alexei, Grade 4
math p 86 & 88-89 : Ch. 3 test and Unit 1 test
read book of choice for 15 minutes (he finished Treasure Island)
social studies p 42-49 and homework p 13 : an overview of America and its people

Ibis, Grade 2 (she finally finished at 6pm!)
math p 33-36 : subtraction using a number line
spelling p 9-11 : long vowels
grammar p 9-12 : commands and exclamations
social studies p 40-51 : read about community and state governments and color a map of Florida

Coral, pre-K
color and glue a circle car
color, cut, glue, and sort shapes (workbook)
role play : princess

Art for all grades :
sculpt a bowl from modeling clay and draw designs on the outside of the bowl with toothpicks (unfortunately I forgot all we had was non-drying clay, ideally we would have let this dry and then painted it)
