Wow what a week! With the extra kiddos (who I love to pieces, and were very good) and my love being gone it was a long week.Not bad just not our normal week. You know what I mean you get VERY good at living your schedule and it wears you out a little to jump into a different one. I love when the other Peyton babies come though, the kiddos love each other sooo much :)
Anyway to school...Caiden has read 3 chapters in Sherlock Holmes, and we are on page 18 of Me and My Body for science. Today his "homework" (lol I giggle every time I write that word) was to talk to one of his grandparents about what school was like when they were kids and what kind of games they played ( this section is about generations and families).
In language arts today he was working on commas in compound sentences,yesterday was commas in a series,and of course our spelling list. He also wrote an acrostic poem using the word robot.
Robots are cool and awsome
Other robots can control each other
Building robots is fun
On my dresser there are robots
They are very cool machines
Sumtimes robots break
(I did not correct his spelling as I typed. I find it cute still :D)
In math we have been working on money for a few weeks now. He was working on subtracting and adding $0.99 from different numbers. Example: problem 1) $4.30-$0.99=$3.31 The problem is not hard in anyway but the lesson here is to get him to figure it out in his head. $4.30-$1.00=3.30+0.01=$3.31 or -.01 for addition problems. I never have trouble with math it is his favorite subject. Yesterday (after school lol) we learned about Pi and how to use it to find the area of a circle and it was "so much fun". I am truly glad he has this love of anything number related. I personally never put the words math and fun in the same sentence (unless I'm talking to him).
no pics. today sorry :(
