experimental day

Last week we finished talking about taste, and today we started learning about the skin and the sense of touch. We are also talking about trust this week in Bible and we are trying to build trust in each other. In english I am doing prepositional phrases again and imperative sentences and reviewing compound subjects and compound verbs. In math I am learning to write and add thousands. We almost finished Treasure Island, it's getting really scary. Jim got his shoulder cut by Israel Hands when he shot at him. Long John Silver is mean and he tries to act nice. I can't wait to finish it. We also rode our bikes to Mamaw's for lunch today and that was fun. I can ride standing up on the pedals now.

Thats it.

the mysterious day

I got a new haircut! I wanted it cut really short, but Mommy wanted it long. And I got bangs.


I have been learning about compound subjects, and prepositional phrases. Yesterday we reviewed the
eye, then today we learned about taste buds. Taste buds taste sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. We're going to cook tomorrow with Mommy. I have my own apron to wear. We have been reading some more of Treasure Island, and Jim and his friends just left with the pirates to find the treasure.  I think Long Jon Silver is bad, but I don't know.  We also learned some more about Lewis and Clark, they took a boat up the Missouri River, and they made friends with the Native Americans and stayed with them for the winter. Yesterday we learned about Helen Keller she was a blind and deaf women. She got really sick when she was little and had a fever for a long time. When she woke up, she was deaf and blind. It was sad. We watched a movie about it that was really good.

Learning about the eye

Today we heard another bible story about Jesus healing a blind man.  He was blind when he was born so he never saw colors or trees or anything. Jesus used spit and dirt and he told him to go wash in the river, and he could see. We are learning more about prepositions, and we found them in a story. We have a lot more spelling words this week, about the eye.  We learned more parts of the eye today, they are the lens, the cornea, and the sclera.  We watched a video about a kid cutting a cow's eye. (here) It was cool.  We got to hear two more chapters of Treasure Island, it is getting creepy, but I like it. At quiet time we played with the doll house again, and I'm going to have a swimming lesson today. I can't wait.

Day 3 Expedition We are explorers

Today we learned about Lewis and Clark they crossed the Mississipp River and they were explorers. We took a quiz on the computer about the people and things they took along with them. We were explorers ourselves, we went to church and explored the things that were there. We also used our five senses. We heard birds and crickets and rustlings of the leaves. We saw a lot of baby caterpillars in a web in a tree, a ladybug, and a roly poly bug. We felt some rocks. Some of them were smooth and some were bumpy. We also felt the trees and leaves. Max collected samples of some of the things we saw. And after that we went back home and we did our spelling and math and english. We are making cards for people on our prayer list, and a book about Lewis and Clark.






Today I learned that Lewis and Clark took beef and vegetable soup, rifles, and flannel shirts on their expedition.


My favorite part was drawing and coloring pages for my book about Lewis and Clark.


I hope we read more of Treasure Island tomorrow.

Hard But Fun Day 2

We  did  are  bible  story  about  a  boy  outside,  selling  people  vegetables,  we  learned about sowing the seed of God. Then we talked about five senses, and we learned about Lewis and Clark. They crossed the Mississippi River, but first they went to see the president, and he told them to explore the new land. We did spelling and we had recess and lunch at church, then we came back. We learned about using our sense of seeing to know what a sign means. Then we did seat work, and read some more of Treasure Island, and we also made a craft of symbols. Then the day was over. It was pretty fun, but hard.

My First Day of School

Today  we  learned  about  the  5  senses  do  you  know  what  they  are?  They  are  feel,  hear,  see,  taste,
smell. Now  you  know  your  5  senses. We also learned about being attentive. That means listening and observing and paying attention.
We  did  a lot of work  but  it  was  a  little  hard and  we  also  read  a  2 chapters  in  Treasure Island. I like the part when the captain fell on the ground and the doctor came. That was exciting.
We did work sheets in math, I kind of liked them. We learned about things that can help us hear better in science. we learned some prepositions in english, and we highlighted them in a story, that was kind of hard.
My favorite part was when we read the story. The prepositions were hard, but it was fun using the highlighter.
