Math

Well I finally sat down and started a curriculum for math for F. We will concentrate on 1 specific topic per week or longer if need be. I organized the house a little more and found some more web sites to help with the plan. The other subjects we will do as the interest arises, which is pretty much daily, and as usual one thing leads to another.

Today we started with perimters and the area of a shape.

This week we have done some reading, and writing, F cut out some paper and made a short book which used some spelling words, played a game on line where he has to find 3 or more letter words from a jumble of letters, played more math games and talked/read about Martin Luther King Jr., did a food chain worksheet/ on line questions, listened to some country music which is one of his favorites as well as mine. Did an art project with collages which all 3 kids did.
We had a conversation about some extinct animals and he recalled a show that he watched about wolves more than 1 month ago, which led him to look up wolves on line. His recall about things he is interested in is getting so much better.

J went to her dance class on Saturday and then we drove to NJ to visit my friend D and her cats :) and to do some shopping.

I also emailed the 2ND quarterly to the HS coordinators in NYC, and hopefully will hear from them son regarding the letter I am supposed to receive.....
