Joel also finished up 18 weeks before the end of the year. Woohoo!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In bible, he participates in our family devotions each morning, has school readings, and school memory passages. He also has memory work for children\u2019s class.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In history\/social studies, our main spines are A Child\u2019s History of the World<\/span> and Usborne Book of World History<\/span>. We use Window on the World<\/span> for country studies and he is working through Geography Songs<\/span> to learn some geography. We read a book about Michelangelo as well. We have timeline and currents events on Fridays.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Read Alouds for this unit we read The Cricket in Times Square,<\/span>\u00a0Castle Diary<\/span> and Captain Nobody<\/span>. We have selections from Aesop for Children<\/span> and 104 Poems of Whimsy and Wisdom<\/span> each week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In LA we have a weekly spelling list, cursive assignment, Phonics C<\/span> for grammar, Wordly Wise B<\/span> for vocabulary, as well as our weekly writing assignment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joel read The Paint Brush Kid<\/span>, The Littles<\/span>, Third Grade Detectives #2<\/span>, and started Viking Adventure<\/span>. He finishes his assigned reading quickly so I add on an extra book for time each day to keep his reading practice going.<\/p>\n

Science spines are\u00a0DK Did You Know Science<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0The Story of Inventions<\/span>. Joel also read Traits and Attributes<\/span>. He has a weekly experiment that usually gets done on Saturdays.<\/p>\n

Math is Horizons 3. He does well in math, starting some division.<\/p>\n

Joel didn’t have any extras this unit and he was pretty grumpy about that. He’ll be doing Little Dribblers in January. We had two trips to CP\/Bandera for Thanksgiving, birthdays, and Christmas. He goes to most of Benjamin’s basketball games and some practices. He has been doing a little bit of programming and prodigy when we have extra time to kill. He also likes to participate in all our church and Connections events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
