December 17th thru 21st, 2012 Core E Week 12 "A" LOW

This was quite a light week for us.  I wanted to keep going as much as we could on math; as we are in the beginning stages of understanding fractions and I didn't want to loose ground.  We did a LOT of artsy types of things too!

I forgot to mention on earlier "December Posts" that we own a lot of Christmas picture books; and I usually store all of them in the same bookshelf.  I brought all of them down that I could find and put them up against the wall beside the Christmas tree for Dd to read on her own.  Each morning she would come downstairs and pick a pile of these books and go to the sofa to read for an hour or so.  She loves them as much as I do!  We read some at night; before bed together as a family too.

Sewing, Clay--Dd made Pappa an assortment of Christmas gifts made out of clay, baking--LOTS of baking (we gave cookies to family members in gift bags at Christmas), and basketball practice with her Upwards Basketball team - the Wolverines!

A great PIANO week!
The fun thing that Dd did this week was that she had a list of Christmas songs--just the words--and she sat at her piano and plunked away at the keys until she found all the right notes to each song, then she wrote down the notes as she went.  She figured out quite a few different songs that way.  I was pretty impressed by her process.
