Ginny finished week 18 at the end of February. She is doing pretty well in this level of history and writing. We are still a little behind in math but she has been working hard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In bible, we are working through some Stars material as our devotional content. For school, we have a book called\u00a0Starting Strong<\/strong>\u00a0and daily bible selections. We also read about and pray for a native group each week using\u00a0American Indian Prayer Guide<\/strong>. And we have a weekly memory selection of a scripture.<\/p>\n

In history\/social studies, our spines are American History: A Visual Encyclopedia<\/strong> and Landmark History of the American People<\/strong>. We do timeline once a week and current events on Fridays with\u00a0World Kids.<\/em><\/p>\n

Read Alouds were Carry On, Mr. Bowditch<\/strong> and Adoniram Judson: Bound for Burma<\/strong>. Our poetry book for the year is How to Eat a Poem<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In Reading \/ LA we have\u00a0Sequential Spelling<\/strong> 1\u00a0for spelling,\u00a0Wordly Wise 3000 Book 4<\/strong>\u00a0for vocabulary, and\u00a0Grammar Ace<\/strong> for grammar. She has a weekly creative assignment or project. We do a cursive activity each week.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ginny read\u00a0By the Great Horn Spoon,<\/strong>\u00a0Freedom Train<\/strong>, and The Great Turkey Walk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For Science we are working through the Discover and Do Science A<\/strong>\u00a0science videos and experiments with Joel. This unit we read Traits and Attributes<\/strong> and sections from Did you Know? Science<\/strong>. She also had a weekly reading from The Story of Inventions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Math is Horizons 4<\/strong>. She is still working\u00a0Prodigy<\/em>\u00a0for some supplemental practice to help her with her multiplication\/division facts. We will move straight into 5 when she is finished.<\/p>\n

Ginny’s extras were continuing with her piano lessons and participating in some volleyball clinics to see if she wants to play in the fall. We had a trip to Bandera to help Gram burn her pile, lots of sibling sports between Hannah and Benjamin, and regular church and Connections activities each week. We had a couple big events in February. We hosted our second Daddy Daughter Dance for the McGregor area and a day camp on an off school day in Febraury. Ginny likes to type stories and play gaga ball with friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
