Happy Halloween!

2. Madelyn - Read through Chapter 16 in The Toothpaste Millionaire by Jean Merrill.

Social Studies: We decided to have a holiday bazaar as our business venture. We'll be on a tight timeline for this but I hope the girls will enjoy it. We also volunteered at the food bank.

Math:

1. C&C - Completed all the tests I missed in the first two units. They did a great job!
2. Madelyn - Completed Unit 2, Chapter 2 in Singapore Math 4A.

Writing:

1. C&C - Completed Week 7 in Writing With Ease. I can definitely see improvements in their comprehension and dictation skills.
2. Madelyn - Completed Week 1 in the Institute for Excellence in Writing Student Writing Intensive A. She likes having her own writing teacher even if he is on a DVD.

Science: This week we learned about currents, batteries and magnetic potential energy. I wish I took pictures of our labs. The only one to fail so far was the battery one and that's one they've done a million times at our local science museum.

Preschool: The boys completed Week 8 of their PreK Sonlight program. They learned to print capital V and W using Handwriting without Tears. They continue to work from Essential Math and Developing the Early Learner.
