OUR LESSONS THIS WEEK:
I often don't mention that we do watch Brain Pop every day and Brain Pop Jr. every Monday. We also often listen to audio recordings at Lamplighter.com --go to Listen and then pick from the newest listings to get to hear an awesome audio story; or at least a portion of it.
This week was fairly normal--Math U See (lessons from Gamma, 23). We worked on memorizing the 7 Family and Skip-Counting Songs for the 7's.
We did Artistic Pursuits (pictures are above)
We continued reading "The Story of Eli Whitney" and finished it.
We have been enjoying "English From The Roots Up" and are studying the first 10 Greek works in the book.
