Then in the afternoon we worked on Halloween costumes, which resulted in, today, a Mungojerry and a Pikachu walking around and playing.
Sean:
- Algebra -- started chapter 5.
- Greek
- Vocabulary
- Latin -- we went back and reviewed the first 2 declensions. He doesn't have them automated, so I don't want to move on to the 3rd declension until he has them down better. Hmm... pondering how to get them to stick in his mind.
- I sent him off with some reading:
- Mere Christianity
- Junior Classics -- a football story.
Kieron
- Greek
- Handwriting
- Latin -- memorizing first declension.-- this got a bit silly --putting "terra terrae terrae.." to the tune of "Tarantara" in Pirates of Penzance.
- He is cutting out snowflakes with the little ones right now.
- His Young Scientist's Club kit arrived so we are going to try to make rock candy.
- We did math (converting improper fractions into mixed numbers)
- and he read the first part of Hunters of Souls (about saints)
- For free reading, he is rereading the OZ books (Scarecrow of Oz, most recently)
- Also Mary Poppins
- I read him several chapters of Snow Treasure while he rode the exercycle -- we are up to chapter 22.
Aidan
- HWT letter forms -- he can make several of the letters from "scratch" recently, which is progress.
- The Montessori pink cards -- matching the pictures with the words. We didn't do any wordbuilding today
- He and Paddy both did cutting with scissors -- Paddy "made houses" out of paper -- Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff : )
We went to the library, post office and market. Right now the older ones are watching The Rocketeer.
