We are working on Weeks 24-27 of Sonlight Core B. Here are some of the highlights:<\/p>\n
Bible Read Alouds We continue to read many stories from various books.<\/p>\n Language Arts We read from ‘First Thousand Words’ in both English and Spanish. The boys copy my pronuciation in Spanish but I do not expect them to memorize words yet.<\/p>\n Science We have watched videos on deep sea fish, including the viperfish, anglerfish, and hatchetfish. We have spent alot of time watching videos of manta rays and, ‘A’s fave, the shark<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Social Studies We read a terrific book titled, ‘People’. It touches on all the different races, cultures, traditions, lifestyles, all over the world. One of the pages intriducing different games played around the world. We looked up some of these games on ‘You Tube’ to see how they are played.<\/p>\n We are currently reading a book, titled, "Then and Now". It takes a scene and explores the way it was many years ago compared to current time.<\/p>\n Art Appreciation Math Life Skills Reading I just started ‘R’ with Bob Book volume 1, book 1 "Mat". I have tried it a few times before, but he was not interested. He is showing interest now and can get through the book. I am not sure how much has been because of memory or how much he is actually reading. Not important. I am just glad he is interested.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are working on Weeks 24-27 of Sonlight Core B.

\n<\/strong>We continue to read stories from the New Testament about Jesus<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>I have decided to take a break from the Mother Goose rhymes. I just can’t handle them any more! I know that they will be there again in Sonlight’s Core C, so I am letting them go for now.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>We continue to work on ‘Developing the Early Learner’. It is perfect for ‘A’ and a little advanced for ‘R’, but he is holding his own. The activities involve visual and auditory memorization, hand motor skills, visual and auditory comprehension.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>We are currently reading a book called, "What’s Under the Sea?". The boys love it and are fascinated. They want to learn to scuba dive and are not happy about having to wait until they are older. I told them that they have to learn to swim first and they insist that they are excellent swimmers.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>We read a book that gently introduces the Buddhist faith and its comparison to Christianity.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>We continue to look at ‘A Book of Art’<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>We are still working on the worksheets from Singapore Earlybird Math, but we are at the point where I need the boys to improve their writing of the numbers. So, I have switched to the Enchanted LEarning math worksheets that have them trace and copy numbers. I am also having them do dot-to-dot sheets to improve their control. ‘R’ loves these, and keeps asking for them.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>We have just finished "The Little Book of Manners for Boys". We are attending church on wednesday nights for F\/X (Family Experience). The kids (and parents) learn about one virtue a month. This month is ‘kindness’.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>‘A’ has completed the Bob Book volume 2, book 7, "Jumper and the Clown". I am now having him review some of the earlier books before moving to book 8.<\/p>\n
