Ginny started week 19 on Feb 27 and finished week 24 at the end of April. Nate started his sabbatical on Feb 22nd so he and I tried out splitting up some of the school work. He did most of Ginny’s work and reading with her for this unit.<\/p>\n

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

In history\/social studies, our spines are\u00a0American History: A Visual Encyclopedia<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Landmark History of the American People<\/span>. We do timeline once a week and current events on Fridays with\u00a0World Kids.<\/em><\/p>\n

Read Alouds were Across Five Aprils<\/span> and we started Caddie Woodlawn<\/span>. Our poetry book for the year is How to Eat a Poem<\/span>.<\/p>\n

In Reading \/ LA we have\u00a0Sequential Spelling<\/span>\u00a01\u00a0for spelling,\u00a0Wordly Wise 3000 Book 4<\/span>\u00a0for vocabulary, and\u00a0Grammar Ace<\/span>\u00a0for grammar. She has a weekly creative assignment or project. We do a cursive activity each week.<\/p>\n

Ginny read Turn Homeward Hannalee,<\/span>\u00a0Shades of Gray<\/span>, and Old Yeller<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>For Science we are working through the\u00a0Discover and Do Science A<\/span> science videos and experiments with Joel. This unit we read sections from Did you Know? Science<\/span>. She read all of Magic School Bus and the Electric Trip<\/span>,\u00a0Electrical Wizard: How Nikola Tesla Lit Up the World,<\/span> and What Makes a Magnet?<\/span>\u00a0She also had a weekly reading from The Story of Inventions<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Math is\u00a0Horizons 4<\/span>. 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\u2019s extras were pretty exciting! We had a week of VBS during McGregor spring break and the very next day we headed off to Israel for a mission trip and tour. This was Ginny’s first international trip. Ginny and Joel participated in the McGregor Easter Egg hunt as well as a passover seder and cross walk. We got some baby chicks which are always fun to play with. Nate and the kids spent a week in Boca Chica trying to get a chance to watch Starship launch, and it did! Most of Nate’s family met down there as well so it was a good visit. She has been doing a volleyball clinic on Saturdays but has missed a lot of them due to all of our travels. Thinking she might try to play in the fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
