Surprisingly this morning was a happy start. Everyone has come down with the cough I had last week. My youngest ended up sleeping in because I know that is the best way to help her body to heal and get over a cold. In fact, she is doing much better than yesterday.
So, this morning we did school backwards. Rather than working with my youngest first, I worked with my oldest first then let her do independent work while I worked with my youngest. It went great!
While my youngest ate cereal and woke up she listened in on my oldest's lessons in grammar then chimed in while we talked about environment for science. My oldest seemed to be able to focus better on the work rather than worrying about finishing up. She also didn't complain when it came time for her to do independent work. In fact she was in a pretty good mood and did an excellent job.
My youngest did have a little bit of trouble focusing during phonics and math but that was mostly because she was coughing so much. I am starting to think that maybe we will mix things up a little and invert the order of schooling.
This afternoon, we will be going to the library and we did have a field trip scheduled for the local children's science museum. They still want to go and given the fact that most kids have either had this virus or have been exposed, I may let them. It is really just a coughing thing.
But otherwise, we had a good start to the week. How was your Monday?

My Newest Student
Here she is hard at work next to the fireplace. She thinks that the pile of wood is all hers. She likes to chew on it and sleep next to it. The cats just don't "get" what all the fuss is about.

What's in the box?
So what are we doing next week?
We have two afternoon field trips lined up. The first is on Monday to the local children's museum and the second is on Wednesday to the Post Office. How much fun is that?
I think that we have a good week lined up and that we are finally getting to the meat of Oak Meadow. I think it will be a good week.
Box 1--Reading: Second grade: easy readers, blends cr, dr, reading and writing sentences using past word "families."
Fourth grade: reading on her own Akiko.
Box 2--Math: Second grade: the 2's table, working on numbers within 40, base 10 kit, number cards and 11 facts.
Fourth grade: reviewing multiplication with 7 and 8, word problems
Box 3--Lapbook: Second grade: finishing the Egypt one, working on body language, training, working and the power of horses.
Fourth grade: life cycle, predators, protection and rabbits as pets.
Box 4--Read Aloud: Finishing up Jolly Robin and The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. We hope to pick up The Vile Village.
Fourth grade only:
Box 5--Spelling: list j-3, dge, -less, -ful, -ment, homonyms, helping verbs
Box 6--Grammar: moods of verbs command, statement, wish and passive verses active voice.
Box 7--Science: Environment and ecosystems.
History: Colonial living and we will make a family tree. We are also going to salvage the colonial lapbook and start marking things in our timeline.
What do you have in your plans/boxes for the week?

Weekly Report February 4, 2010
It was another week of progress. And progress is good. I spent some time really going through our materials from Oak Meadow writing up long term lesson plans so I could get a good look at the big picture. I am really happy with the materials. The 2nd grade stuff is great and is a good fit for my youngest. I also think that the 5th grade science is excellent and will be a lot of fun once we get to the meat of the program.
We learned how to do school around a bunny this week. She likes to cuddle up with my oldest while she does school work. Sometimes she just likes to take naps while we work. So basically, a house rabbit has not been a distraction but almost a soothing presence.
So what have we accomplished? What kind of progress have we made?
I figured out that my youngest does best at reading if we don't jump from level 1 to 2 to 1 books. She does best if we stick to books written at one level and do a slow gradual increase in material. The Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt book was too hard for her and when we went to a very easy book she had forgotten how to read a lot of words again. I think this is a lesson learned for me. Level 1 and easy level 2 books for now until she has all those little words under her belt and is ready to move on.
My oldest is getting comfortable doing more writing on her own. Her lapbook is coming along beautifully. She has learned how to read a passage and then find the answers to her questions by scanning back through the passage.
I do see a light at the end of the tunnel with my oldest and moving on with math. Her multiplication/division skills are sharpening and within a month or so we should be back on track with Singapore although I am still going to have her do review work from Rod and Staff.
My youngest has done well this week with working with tens and ones within 40. She seems to understand the numbers. I brought the base 10 kit back out and I think that this will help especially once we start working on addition and subtraction within 40. We've also been working hard on counting by 2's.
We are still waiting on The Vile Village. But we have hopes of picking it up on Monday. Overall, we had a good week. How was your week?

A Good Look at Oak Meadow 2
I finally took a good in-depth look at the Oak Meadow 2 syllabus and took notes on what is covered each week. It looks good. So what are my impressions?
The first 12 weeks is really a gearing up to the meat of the program. You spend a lot of time focusing on phonics, observation skills and reading stories to your children. There is also time spent with the 2 and 5's tables.
It is the second 12 weeks where the bulk of the activity takes place and the real meat of the program. During this period you finish up phonics and switch gears to more writing. There are still stories but you spend time making an illustrated calendar, writing numbers (50 at a time from 1-700), tables for 1-5 and 10's, and learn about coins. But the fun is all in the science activities. You look at various animals homes and make your own versions using various materials and similar techniques.
The last 12 weeks is still fairly meaty. There is a lot of writing, listening to stories, adding in the 6 and 7 tables, writing numbers (to 1000), place value, animals and types of animals. Plus learning all about the local community including landmarks, communication and natural resources. So basically, the last period can include lots of local field trips.
There are also all the arts and craft projects scattered throughout from crochet to clay to form drawing to painting to drawing.
We will start week 4 next week and I am happy with the pace, our progress and the potential of this curriculum. My only regret is that I did not use Oak Meadow 1 last year.

Lost in the Forest of Easy Readers?
Have you ever gone to the easy reader section of your library to try to find a few books on your child's level only to become hopelessly lost in all the books there?
This has been a rather regular experience for me in the past. I look at the bookshelves and think to myself, "Surely, with all those books they have to have a level 1 reader that my daughter will enjoy. There has got to be one with cats, rabbits or horses."
And then I get to looking at the books and find plenty of level 1 readers on Scooby-doo or Clifford or Winnie the Pooh. Fine for other kids but not for my child who doesn't like those characters. It has been quite a struggle over the last year or so.
Until recently. I found a book my daughter liked called, Mittens. And so I looked up the series through my library and was able to find all the other books in this series and pick and choose which ones she would like. We put some on hold since they were checked out and over the next few weeks we were able to read several good books.
So when we finished those up, I tried searching my library system for Hello Readers and they are sorted by levels so I could go through the level 1s and 2s to find books my daughter would like. Again we place quite a few on hold and checked out 3. Over the next month, I expect we will get a couple of surprises when we check out books and my daughter will have books she likes and is willing to read.
In all of this, the lesson, I learned was to use the library computer system to find books rather than wander around the library in hopes that a book will jump out at me. I guess you could say that this is the time management tip for this week.

Monday Morning
I have a horrible cold. It started as a dry cough than moved into a wet cough and now I am sneezy and have watery eyes. I haven't felt too feverish but I am so cold. I am the only one who is ill and so life has gone on.
Despite all this, we did have a good Monday morning. We had a new member of our classroom. Sweetheart the bunny has been moved inside with her own cage and is allowed to run loose when we are home. She is very good and has only had one accident outside of her cage since Thursday evening. She spent her schooltime napping and doing binkys (a hop in the air with a twist to show happiness).
Our reading lesson we very well. My youngest is reading a level 2 reader on Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt. She only needed help with a few words. We also worked with words that start with the hard ch sound.
Math went OK. My youngest does not like math and is often difficult when we work on it. Today we worked on counting by 2, number order between 20 and 40, and place value. My oldest did well with her multiplication review work. She is getting quicker and quicker with the facts. She is also learning to read a word problem and know what method to use to solve it.
Lapbooks were a lot of fun this morning. We learned about papyrus, facial markings of horses and we learned that when a bunny licks you that they like you. My oldest is working on rabbit communication. That is how we know what a binky is.
We are almost finished with the Jolly Robin stories and so ready to move onto poetry. My youngest gets quite annoyed with Jolly. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is moving along. Edmund has just gotten to the Witch's house. My oldest enjoys this book more than my youngest.
In science we are finally getting to the meat of the text. Today, we got to put damp food into baggies in 3 different environments and over the next couple of weeks we will see which one grows mold quicker. Later this week we will get to use the microscope and thermometers.
I think that despite my cold that we had a good start to the week. How was your Monday?

Our Ancient Egypt Unit
First there is the inspiration for the unit:
http://kids.discovery.com/fansites/tutenstein/tutenstein.html For a cartoon my daughter has learned quite a bit about ancient Egypt from watching this show. It also inspired a frenzy of wanting to learn about ancient Egypt and now she is talking about being an Egyptologist.
Then there is the lapbook:
http://www.homeschoolshare.com/ancient_egypt.php
We printed out the pieces on yellow paper in various shades with a little in green and royal purple.
And now the booklist:
This is a beautiful book to look at and wonder at the discoveries. My daughter loves to touch the piece of fabric from a mummy.
This is a wonderful story that dates to being one of the oldest written. My daughter likes to act it out being Muti, rowing the boat and then she loses her bracelet.
This is the story of the man who decoded the Rosetta Stone. Very inspiring!
This is a fun story with some hieroglyphics and a story about doing what is right. It also shows the journey they believed that people took to the underworld when they died.
This is a great book about how the pyramids were build and how mummies were made. A classic.
This is a great book that shows the inside of much of ancient Egypt. My daughter loves to just look at it and dream.
Some other books we found are:
Ms. Frizzles Ancient Egypt by Joanna Cole (great for Magic School Bus fans.)
Gift of the Nile: An Ancient Egyptian Legend by Jan M. Mike
The Scarab's Secret by Nick Would
Egyptian Diary: The Journal of Nakht by Richard Platt
Egyptian Gods and Goddesses by Henry Barker (this is a level 2 easy reader)
How to be an Egyptian Princess by Jacqueline Morley
Drawing History: Ancient Egypt by Elaine Raphael and Don Bolognese
Spend the Day in Ancient Egypt: Projects and Activities that Bring the Past to Life by Linda Honan
Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt by Everett Fisher
We are two weeks in and it is a lot of fun and she is learning so much.

Weekly Report January 28, 2010
It was a fairly good week with a little attitude. I've added some things and stopped doing others. Here's a run-down of what we are doing and how things are working.
Reading is going well. Between easy readers and working with the Oak Meadow word families we are making progress. Now that we are done introducing these, we are going to spend more time on reading the words and writing sentences at least twice a week using the words.
Second grade math is going OK. I added the Rod and Staff workbook back in. We are working on 9, 2, and 11. She is doing well with this concept. Basically, we are using Singapore to teach a lesson and Rod and Staff is review work.
I've decided to drop Life of Fred fractions. I know we are only 5 lessons in but I don't think she was really getting anything from the book. We will keep it for her to read through again later and it might work better with my younger child when it is time. Instead she is doing review work from Rod and Staff and we are working on the word problems in Singapore math that she didn't do the first time around. I am hoping that sometime in March she will be ready to move on in Singapore 4a. But we will see. She is also making progress.
The lapbooks are all coming along fine. My oldest grumbles a little about doing the reading and writing for herself but she is doing a great job and I think she will be happy with the finished product since it will be fully her own work. My youngest is enjoying Egypt and the horse lapbooks. She is learning a lot. We are also reading books about Ancient Egypt at bedtime.
It has been a disappointment that we are still waiting on a copy of The Vile Village. We are waiting rather impatiently for the book to come in. We tried the CD form but it wouldn't play on either CD player and stopped part way through chapter one on our computer. Instead we have been reading The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe as well as Jolly Robin's stories which are rather funny.
My oldest tried her hand at home row typing this week and did well. She is also continuing to make progress in spelling. We started the unit on Verbs and she is doing well with that as well. I am thinking that we will follow up this unit with one on writing sentences.
Since dropping Life of Fred from the line-up we will be alternating history and science. So there will be a day of reading and a day of experimenting for science. And with history there will be a day of reading and a day for projects. I think that this will not be too overwhelming and will give us plenty of time to explore topics.
We also had playgroup on Friday and on Tuesday we had 4-H. The children made signs so that they could collect school supplies for a local charity whose stockpile burned in a Christmas fire along with the offices of about 25 local agencies.
I think we had a good week. How was yours?

What's in the box?
So what's up for next week? I think it will be another week of making good progress. And here is what is in the box:
Box 1--Reading: Second grade: easy readers, words that start with cl or ch. She will do 2 main lessons where she will write a sentence using words from her word "families" lists. She will also have a main lesson for science about ants.
Fourth grade: an Akiko book
Box 2--Math: Second grade: our main lesson is counting by 2's, we will also work in Singapore on numbers within 40 and be working in Rod and Staff on 11, 9 and 2.
Fourth grade: her review work from Rod and Staff will include the 7's table. We are also working on word problems from old Singapore workbooks.
Box 3--Lapbooks: Second grade: the horse lapbook will be face markings, senses, ear communication and sleep. The Egypt lapbook with be papyrus, body parts, amulet and occupations.
Fourth grade: rabbit communication and possibly the life cycle.
Box 4--Read Alouds: We should finish the Jolly Robin stories, start reading The Witch of Blackbird Pond and hopefully pick up The Vile Village. At bedtime we are reading various Ancient Egypt tales and The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
Fourth Grade only:
Box 5--Spelling: List J-2, phonogram oi, prepositions, and practicing writing the words. She will also be learning to type beyond home row.
Box 6--Grammar: Helping verbs, tenses, and mood.
Box 7--Science and History: 2 days each. History will be about colonists and include mapwork while science will be about instruments and will include some experiments and our microscope.
I think it will be a good week. We are starting to step up the work a little bit more. The girls are both doing more writing on their own. So what is in your boxes for next week?
