Language Arts: Kingston is still reading what he can in his Cat in the Hat book. We are reading aloud The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place Book 1: The Mysterious Howling. Kennedy did a notebooking page/book report. She liked the Moon Poem that Beowulf composed. Kennedy is also reading some Christmas stories. She read some picture books at the library. Kingston did some sight word worksheets. Kingston began reading a Planes book. We watched the LeapFrog Letter Factory video to review phonics.
Math: We did some color-by-number pages. Kennedy started a subtraction color-by-number page. She used marbles to solve the subtraction problems. Kingston played with Dominoes. We watched Math Antics videos again. We learned about perimeter and area and the importance of units.
Social Studies: We read in Story of the World. This week was about the Persian empire. There were 10 empires in that country. Kennedy says, "We learned about this 11 year old king. His mother wanted to help him rule the kingdom. When he was finally old enough to be the king his soldiers were fighting against him because they wanted to be in charge. But he survived. He conquered Constantinople and named it Istanbul. Then he went across the sea and went to Europe. He defeated Baghdad, Russia, and then I think he was going to go to Europe."
Science: We watched Mystery Doug and learned why leaves change color in the fall. Kennedy says, "There's things in the leaves that make them green. But in fall, the trunk sucks all that in. There's other colors in the leaves, red, yellow, and orange, that show up when the green is pulled into the trunk." We also watched a Mystery Doug video about dragons. Kingston learned "that them not real. Them do blow fire. Because them just dinosaurs. But the bones that look like dragon is just a dinosaur. But there are also real animals that actually look like dragons like lizard that flies like a dragon. But me not know what that's called actually." Kennedy says, "Dragons are not real. But people long ago may have found dinosaur bones but they thought they were dragons. And then they imagined them to be dragons." We read about wind erosion.
Tech/Trep: Kennedy did some coding videos with her dad. She'd already done the videos before, so she was kind of teaching her dad the program. She is excited for Hour of Code next week. Kingston built with blocks. Kingston built with Legos.
Elective: The kids played in the snow. Kennedy built a snowman and Kingston made tracks in the snow. The kids shoveled snow.
