J's first week of Fourth Grade went well. We are still trying to work out the kinks but overall, she got her work done.
J is loving her personal Bible study that we received from Sonlight Core E. She works on it daily all by herself. She has several items that she is doing independently, with me nearby to answer any questions. I love this new independence, she does too. She gets to decide just how much work she does and when she does it, as long as she gets it done by Friday.
One fun thing that we worked on this week was Mental Images while reading. I found this cute free printable of a poem My Neighbor's Dog is Purple from Tori Howard's TPT store. (link below) I read the poem to her in sections and she drew what she see in her mind. I love how her image changed!
I also taught her how to play Rummy Cube. We played it all week while we were eating lunch. She is getting pretty good.
My absolute favorite part of this week was this smile! This smile is her doing her new math program from Teaching Textbooks. She loves this program. This is a picture of her doing her math! Amazing. I should have made the switch a long time ago....well, it actually doesn't start until third grade. But she finally loves math. Yay! She is already on lesson 11 in her first week! She has been doing two lessons a day. I love it.
It was a good week. This is my first time homeschooling two children along with a tot who gets into everything! So, we are still working some kinks out. Hope your first week went well. See you soon.
