Mar 8-14

Language Arts: Kennedy is reading the fourth Harry Potter book. She gave an oral book report to her dad. We read about Vivaldi. We read more of The Last Battle.

Math: We played math games on Education.com. We did a lot of fraction games. Kennedy says, "One of the games was pancakes. You had to flip what the fraction said to flip on the first number out of the second number." Kingston says, "I'm playing the space station game. It is how you make a space station. The sandwich one using fraction." We played Monopoly Jr.


Social Studies: We read about the French Revolution in Story of the World. We read about Marie Antoinette. We read about Catherine the Great of Russia.

Science: We watched Magic School Bus. Kingston says, "I like the one about magnets. The train one. They used iron in the rock to lift the bus. But how does iron get in the rock?" Kennedy says, "When you sneeze it doesn't mean you're sick. It means you're allergic or you're just sneezing. Over time rock can transform with water."

Tech/Trep: Kennedy built something. She says, "The middle spins. It took me a while to build. The big piece around it is for safety. More engineering. Dad helped me see the pattern and do a small and a small instead of a small and a big." Kingston built with legos. He says, "This is a car. It has lots of platforms on the bottom. Then me put three wheels, then a window, then a green thing on the front. Then there is a steering wheel and two piece of gray."







Elective: We listened to Vivaldi music. We went on a walk and Kennedy and Kingston rode their bikes. The kids did art with Bingo Dot markers. Kingston made a collage out of construction paper.

He would eat one carrot for breakfast, one carrot for lunch, and one carrot for dinner. The rest he put in his cupboard. The next morning, Rabbit woke up and picked his carrots from his garden. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. All this picking made him extra hungry. So he had one carrot for breakfast, one carrot for snack, one carrot for lunch, and one carrot for dinner. How many carrots did he add to his cupboard? Five.
