4th Grade is hard ya’ll! Haha. We discovered that is isn’t as easy to ‘double up’ days as it used to be. So I have to be more flexible with the schedule or we have to let the days slide. It isn’t a big deal as we school year round, but the week does have a flow to it that is nice when we do have normal weeks. American History II is a lot more tough topics but I think we’re getting through it pretty well. The books we have been reading have been from all different perspectives and interesting.<\/p>\n

In Bible we’re working through John. Hannah memorized Psalm 103 this first unit. We also do her Prims curriculum and a devotional called Starting Strong<\/u> for our morning family time.<\/p>\n

In history\/social studies we did a short time on the Gold Rush and then jumped right into the civil war. We have American Adventures I<\/u> and Landmark History of the American People Vol 1<\/u> to read selections from and we’ve read Behind Rebel Lines<\/u> and William Wilberforce<\/u> (to give us a background on the slave trade). We also get a song from Wee Sing America<\/u> each week that has a little bit of history behind it.<\/p>\n

Read Alouds are longer so we really get to know the characters better. This unit we did Moccasin Trail<\/u> and The Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson<\/u>. We also have weekly selections from Oxford’s Illustrated Book of American Children’s Poems<\/u>.<\/p>\n

In Reading and Language we are finishing up Sequential Spelling 1<\/u> and working through Grammar Ace<\/u> for grammar and Wordly Wise 3000, Book 4<\/u> for vocabulary. Hannah has a weekly dictation and Creative Writing assignment. She also read By The Great Horn Spoon!<\/u>, Freedom Train<\/u>, and Turn Homeward Hannalee<\/u><\/p>\n

Science has been mostly spent finishing up 3rd grade science. But we’ve gotten two weeks of 4th grade under our belt with a book called Diary of an Early American Boy<\/u> which is a wonderful look at the life of a young boy in our time period. We also are starting a unit on magnets with Discover and do Level 4<\/u> and TOPS Magnetism<\/u>.<\/p>\n

For math, we are working through Horizons 4. Right now we are in the review stage so hasn’t been any meltdowns.<\/p>\n

Extras, of course, keep us busy. Typing, Piano, Girls Ministries, and weekly park days. We had a GM National Sleepover, a campout, and Hannah played in a 3rd and 4th grade volleyball league this fall. She really liked it and is looking forward to next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
