Day 63

Tuesday's Activities:

• Singapore Math

• Writing - Edited and published autobiographical event stories. I will post these later.

• Grammar - Madelyn completed Lessons 29-32 in Primary Language Lessons. She also practiced cursive.

• Spelling - I'm trying a new spelling program with Catherine & Chloe thanks to what I learned at the Homeschool Convention last week. We are studying high frequency words ten at a time. On Monday, we'll do the pretest. Tuesday, we write the words on cards with flair. Wednesday, the girls write a sentence using the word in context. Thursday is the post-test.

• Social Studies/Reading - We are going to close out our year with a study of the state of New Mexico. We employed our non-fiction reading strategies (Thank you, Family School) to read from Library of the States: New Mexico. We also read together The Way to Start a Day by Byrd Baylor.

• Science - We took a field trip to the Botanical Garden to see what was blooming. We found hydrangea (not native nor outdoors) which were beautiful. We also enjoyed the colorful display of bulbs throughout the park.
  

• PE - Catherine had soccer practice and everyone else enjoyed time at the park.
