Language Arts: We didn't do much this week. I want us to get further ahead in our number recognition before we go full-force in this area. We're almost there.
Read-Alouds: I dropped the whole P4/5 schedule this week. It's all part of my re-vamping my homeschool project that I posted about earlier. I just HAVE to tweak things, and the SL schedule wasn't working well. We will continue to read the books that interest us, but in order instead of skipping around in the books. We continued with Uncle Wiggly and Stories From Around the World as well as Animals, Animals
Science: Can you guess what we're studying this month???
Flowers! This week we planted some flower seeds and read this book (for some reason the picture is not coming through):
How Flowers Grow- it's an Usborne book with beautiful pictures.
I also found this great website that had some YouTube videos to watch that went along with our flower studies. Click here for that website. Please note that I have NOT previewed all of the videos.

Stay tuned for what we do next week with our flower study.
Math: Our highlights include m&ms, literature, and patterning. Click here to go to my living math blog to see everything that we did this week.
Picture Study: This is the artist that we studied this week. Please be aware that I have not previewed all of his works of art. At this age all that we do is look at the picture and pick out what we do/don't like about it. We do that for 4 weeks before switching to a different artist.
Composer Study: We will be listening to 1 track this weekend. It's just been a crazy week with us moving.

Your blog is so pretty! I hope the flowers come through for you well. It's such a fun thing to do together. Have you done the celery yet? (Leave it in a cup of water with food coloring, red or blue, overnight and in the morning you can "dissect" it to see the veins and how the water was carried up to the leaves)
ReplyDeleteSounds like an enjoyable week, thanks for sharing!
We haven't! What a good idea! Thank you for suggesting it.
ReplyDeleteI love the garden stuff. Can't wait to get going on mine. I miss having little ones.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! And your math blog... I am really thinking about trying a year of living math next fall...
ReplyDeleteGreat time to start studying flowers! We're hoping to start a plant study soon - just waiting for the snow to melt!
ReplyDeleteI love it when science can be so easy. Enjoy watching your flowers grow.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you have the space, but last year my girls and I planted "Grandmother's Flower Garden." It was a selection of flower seeds to grow cut flowers. We had vases of sunny flowers DD~6 cut and kept for us all summer. Butterfly, hummingbird, and bee garden flowers are fun too.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I love Usborne's books! I hope your flowers grow and thrive! I'm starting to plan for next year, and I'm excited to start doing artist and composer studies. Thanks for sharing your week! ;)
