SL Core E,
Week 20 -LOW-
 |
| Here is my classroom for Nature In Art |
 |
| Dd got glasses! |
We had a very busy week scheduled this week---we had our LAST LHE Co-op classes (on Thursday) and Swim & Gym (on Tuesday). Plus, we went by the A.'s house to pick up Dd's basketball award which was a new basketball!! Dd was so super excited to get a new basketball!! We have a old basketball that we got at a yard sale and she has been wanting a new one for years!!! The Lord new exactly what she wanted!
Besides the activities that we had planned for this week, we also had some major meltdowns this week. I don't know the details of how or why; but Dd really had a HARD time dealing with her hormones. It is hard to see a kid who never cries, to be crying over the littlest things. On Wednesday I offered her a nap and to my surprise not only did she accept the offer, but she proceeded to sleep for over 2 hours! So, our lessons mainly took place on Monday and Friday since we had activities on Tuesday and Thursday. Wednesday I spent most of the day prepping for my last class for Nature in Art; which was on Animals in Nature.

Paragraph on Ants from Lesson 13
Ant
Colonies
Ants who
live together in groups called colonies work with each other. There are about 2,000 to 10,000 ants in a
colony. No ant lives alone, because God
created them to live communally. Some
ants can do more than one job, but some can do only one. If you see a solitary ant you should know it
works and dwells in a colony.
Test Prep, Grade 5 (Spectrum) by Dale Foreman, Alan Cohen, Jerome Kaplan and Ruth Mitchell
(we did a few pages on Monday)
Gym/Exercising:
I'm trying to make exercising more of a "subject" for us to make happen now that Upwards Basketball is over.
Wed. Dd did a Leslie Sansone dvd workout with me--1 mile--if I had to give a grade for her effort; I'm afraid she would have gotten a D-. She was that pitiful! But, she was standing, and her feet were moving...barely!
Thursday & Friday Dd played basketball in the driveway for about an hour each time. So, she did get a good workout those days!

I really enjoyed the paragraph on ants! Well done! I like the information your dd included! Also, I like the use of commas! I don't know many students that use commas so well! Well done!!! How wonderful to think about God and how He thinks even of the ants! Once again, well done!
ReplyDeleteAlso, my dd loves those Fairies books. She has read them over and over from the library.
Another thought - how creative to write your seven facts in Roman numerals! I imagine that was a fun challenge!!!
Final thought - we are having a lot of tears here, too. Prayers and hugs.
