MFW: 1850 TO MT AND ECC WEEK 1
Excited to start our new school year, can't believe K is in 7th grade and D in 3rd grade. Wow has time flown by, I still can't seem to process how much they have grown, maybe I'm in denial. Love being able to teach them and learn right along with them each day. This week we will review what we've learned about the states, countries, continents, do a lot of math review as well. Start using a cookbook with our lesson, learn how to use map and globes, discuss about the many different religions or beliefs in the world, ecosystems, environments, niches, and atoms. Lots of learning and fun this year.
K wants to be a Paleontologist and D a Zoologist. BOOKS

SCIENCE
Started the kids Paleontology Lessons, kids really love this curriculum so far. They made Oobleck, placed it in several containers so we could hide some dinosaurs in it. Then we placed them outside so the sun could hardened the oobleck. The kids enjoyed hammering the dinosaurs out of the blocks. Did several different experiments and learned about niches and ecosystems.

We have had a very fun and productive first week of school. Kids were actually looking forward to start school, they are used to having school year round, and had been asking when would we start. This week we reviewed what they've learned about the states, countries, continents, did a lot of math review as well. Started using a cookbook with our lesson, learn how to use map and globes, discussed the many different religions or beliefs in the world, ecosystems, environments, niches, and atoms. Did many different types of experiments to go with our Science lessons. Now unto next week to see what adventures are in store for us.
