Thankful Tree, Egypt, and a great week

I think last week might have been our best school week so far this year. Cricket did really well with everything we worked on AND we actually made it to all of our classes: ballet, gymnastics, advanced gymnastics, and choir/bible study. Cricket even threw in a couple of impromptu puppet shows for me.

We moved forward with our work from 1+1+1=1 and Cricket was more responsive to reading attempts this week. I think that in part was thanks to our LeapFrog TAG Reading System

Cricket is still enjoying our Horizon Math program, we normally do four lessons a week. This week I also shared this add on worksheet about fractions and Cricket loved it. She insisted on coloring the pies orange though to make "Punkin" pies. 

 

Cricket really responded to our work on Egypt. I think introducing it along with the story of Moses really helped. We read and watched The Prince of Egypt together and she loved it. We also did an overall review of Africa, and incorporated our Tag Reader into this as well.

We have continued to track our weather everyday and graph it as well. This week we finally had variety in our weather and Cricket was very excited by that.

We have been working on our Thankfulness Tree all month and I am in love with how it turned out. Cricket has really enjoyed doing it too. She has a leaf for family members, a couple of friends, God, Jesus, and some of her favorite things. I tried to write them in her words and some of them are really cute.

We are very hopeful that we are back on track and have BIG plans for Christmas School!
