We did a review with adding decimals. Sam kicks ass on lining them up vertically to add them when the problem is presented horizontally. He is all about adding up some $$$$$$ though, so no surprise there. He did several on the dry erase board, then he completed the remainder on paper so we could snap it into our little binder of "proof" in case anyone ever accuses us of not being up to par with the public school system <<<BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
I suggested that Sam show his "work" on them (wonder where I got THAT ridiculous, irrational idea????), but he could add them in his head when they were presented horizontally...without lining them up vertically, and without "showing his work" (the carrying, etc.) You know what Sam, if you can do it in your head, do it baby. I am the administrator of this "school", and I know you can do it in your head, YOU know you can do it in your head, so to heck with haters.
We started tracking earthquakes. We may need a new map exclusively for this! We have been doing it for only a few days, and there has been so much activity: Chile, Japan, Papua New Guinea, China...
We want to start tracking tornadoes as well, but we haven't found a good site to use yet.
Who cares if our walls are papered with maps? If my house looked like a display at Rooms-To-Go, I would suffocate and die in the conformity of it!
Josiah won a lot of cards for recognizing letters and their sounds. He is SO funny...sometimes he has to think a bit about what letter it is or what sound it makes, but he is always prompt with recognizing if it is "Uppercase" or "Lowercase".
My kids are so anxious to get swim trunks on and get into some water fun.
