'14/15 Week 24 Day 1

The temperature outside is a step away from freezing. I heard the schools in some counties are closed because of  icy rain or even snow. It is cold, but no snow and no snow-days for my little students. 

We started our new week off with a math test and completing the Math Book 1. Both children did well, and now we are ready to move on to the next 80 lessons in Book 2. 

Saara also finished Arnold Lobel's Owl at Home and tomorrow will fill in a questionnaire about the stories in the book. It will serve as a book report for this book. Some of the questions are rather fun, and I am looking forward to hearing/reading her answers. The inspiration for the questionnaire came from a Teaching Guide material online. Considering the horrific weather outside, we should have enough time at the end of the school day to do a little owl art project as well. Just another thing to look forward to.

When we were enjoying the last of good weather on Saturday, Andrew stumbled over this little guy.

Science. Four fun weeks with beans and corn are starting now.

Beans and corn seeds ready for germination.

Both children finished their first Math Books. We will start with book number 2 tomorrow.
