Core A has been a good level for Ginny. We are still practicing some skills that she is going to need in the upper levels, and this is a great overview of world history. We are on track to finish in September, so we’ll just roll into B+C right away.<\/p>\n

Ginny has been continuing to learn how to follow along as the others read during devotions out of her own bible in the morning with Hannah\u2019s bible readings. Then for Core A there is an assigned children\u2019s bible reading from Ergermeier\u2019s bible. She is also doing a weekly memory verse for school and a monthly one for Girl\u2019s Ministries.<\/p>\n

We have\u00a0The Usborne Children\u2019s Encyclopedia<\/span>\u00a0as our main spine. We are also working through\u00a0Living Long Ago<\/span>. We have a missionary story collection called\u00a0I Heard Good News Today<\/span> that we read a selections from. We also have a daily calendar activity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>For our read alouds this unit, we finished\u00a0The House At Pooh Corner<\/span>. We also read Richard Scarry’s Please and Thank You Book<\/span> and No Children, No Pets<\/span>. We have our 5th day reading from In Grandma’s Attic<\/span>. Our poetry books are\u00a0The Llama Who Had No Pajama<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Arnold Lobel Book of Mother Goose<\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We finished LA1 and went straight into LA2. She has a spelling test each week, grammar, and copywork. She is really good at story telling and creative activities, but we are still struggling with mechanics. We have a grammar workbook and the littles have been learning cursive. During this unit, she read\u00a0A Fly Went By<\/span>,\u00a0A Big Ball of String<\/span>, and\u00a0The Bravest Dog Ever: The Story of Balto<\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have Joel and Ginny do science together. We have been working through Science K on a bit of double time. We use\u00a0Discover and Do Science<\/span>\u00a0for our experiments and have a weekly selection from\u00a0National Geographic\u2019s Little Kids First Big Book of Why<\/span>. During this unit, we also read\u00a0Why Do Elephant’s Need the Sun?<\/span>,\u00a0Wangari’s Trees of Peace<\/span>, and\u00a0Forces Make Things Move<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>For math, we are almost done with Horizons 2 and will move straight into Horizons 3. She is continuing to fill in some math facts with flash master practice each day.<\/p>\n

Extras keep us going, Ginny has been enjoying karate with the others. We survived a week of subfreezing temperatures, very rare in Texas, now called Snowmageddon. It was fun\/frustrating. We had a lot of exciting events with Active Love \/ Connections. We ran a week long VBS, had an Easter Scavenger hunt, and a few crafts as well as our normal hours and church activities. We also camped out at the Diltz’s and went to see Gram and PawPaw twice. During this unit, we celebrated Nate, Hannah, and Joel’s birthdays as well. Pretty busy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
