Week 14

Wow! The children really studied this last week. Congrats to parents and students for reviewing this week! Here is a recap of what we covered today - hope it helps as you study this week. Please forgive the typos - I don't have the guide in front of me right now for double checking.

English Grammar (4 Kinds of Sentences)
Chant: ive, ive, ive and an ory - ive, ive, ive and an ory

Latin
Present Tense - took turns singing different verbs

Science

We took turns donating/accepting a present (hydrogen atom)

Math
The area of a square equals length (put both arms out beside body) of its side (lean whole body over on the side so that your head is close to the floor) squared.

Geography - Sung loosely to the tune "Here Comes Santa Claus" I rearranged the order in which we recite them so that we recite them in the order in which they appear on the map

Baltic Europe, Baltic Europe, Estonia
Latvia, Lithuania, East Prussia
And then there's Poland at the bottom of Baltic Europe

Timeline - will (hopefully) get these entered into the Excel sheet and email to you soon.

For Review, we skipped to the Latin Future Tense conjugation and we did ballet to the Latin Present Perfect Tense. We also played a roll the colored dice game - I love seeing their excitement when they get to test an adult! I continue to be amazed at their skill in remembering the timeline cards. Just imagine how much ahead they will be next year!

Thanks for another great week!

As a reminder - we are studying great artists in fine arts, so remember your colored pencils!
