Benjamin only has six weeks left of his 1st grade curriculum. Woohoo! I’m planning a TX history unit for this summer, but we’ll have to wait for Hannah so I will try to find some subjects he is interested in doing some self study on to fill the gap.<\/p>\n

Ben tags along for bible readings during our morning devotions as Hannah is working her way through the New Testament. We also have a book called Leading Little Ones to God<\/u> which is great for discussing some Christian topics. He usually has a memory verse or two a week, but right now we are working on a fun poem.<\/p>\n

In history\/social studies, we finished our tour of ancient Greece and started into Rome. We finished The Greek News<\/u>. We have weekly selections from Akebu to Zapotec<\/u>, A Child’s History of the World<\/u>, Usborne Book of World History<\/u>, and Usborne Time Traveler: Rome and Romans<\/u>. We also started a biography of George Muller<\/u>, and A Roman Diary<\/u>.<\/p>\n

Read Alouds have been fun. We finished Greek Myths<\/u> and The Wheel on the School<\/u>, then started Gooney Bird Greene<\/u>, and Mr. Popper’s Penguins<\/u>. We also have poetry selections from Favorite Poems of Childhood<\/u> and Mother Goose Rhymes.<\/p>\n

We have a pretty good routine for Language. We have weekly spelling, Explode the Code 6<\/u> assignments, write a verse in cursive, and work one Wordly Wise A<\/u> activity. Ben reads well and he usually wants to read more than is assigned. He finished Greg’s Microscope<\/u>, Hill of Fire<\/u>, Frog and Toad All Year<\/u>, Daniel’s Duck<\/u>, Amelia Bedelia<\/u>, and Nate the Great<\/u> this unit. He spends time reading Shaun the Sheep and Minecraft and Smurf books for his personal time.<\/p>\n

Science has been focused on our bodies. We have What Makes You Ill?<\/u> and First Encyclopedia of the Human Body<\/u> for reading and have been reviewing weekly water experiments.<\/p>\n

Math seems to be a little easier for Benjamin than Hannah. He’s in the middle of Horizons 2<\/u> and on off days he gets to play math apps on the Ipad.<\/p>\n

Extras always keep us on our toes. We have weekly piano lesson, Royal Rangers, park day. For activities this unit, we had a camp out, Ben participated in an Arts Festival by submitting a video of his piano work, and we attended a children’s theater version of Alice in Wonderland<\/i>. I get them to help a little with the garden, they are pretty excited about our rogue pumpkin patch and we work on our hideout on the days we don’t have outings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
