Yesterday, we got together with some other homeschooling friends and played with revolution and rotation concepts while we talked about moon phases, length of the year, and time between full moons. Then, we transitioned to wavelength and light. As we got ready to go home, the youngest friend brought down his rock collection and we talked about sedimentary rock formation.
The Other Parent's Army buddy came over the day before to do PT with us. Cross fit is fantastic because it just uses just your body weight. That makes The Other Parent's workout just as challenging as mine is despite the 170 lbs wieght difference. That also means that I'm just a tad bit sore.
Today, we're going to do our workout, then focus on history/geography and art with a little bit of math review. TOP and I have noticed some behavioral changes lately that may or may not be related to fears about growing up. I'm thinking about doing a journal topic about changes and/or behavior to see if I can get something without making a big deal about our concerns.
So, here's the plan:
Math:
Review decimals and metric conversions. I was thinking we'd do conversions between decimals, but it might be easier to change between deka, hecto, and kilo since we've been working with place values on ixl.com.
Social studies:
Work on resolutions
Practice state recognition, transition to geographical features, focus on mountains
English:
superteacherworksheets.com; comma worksheets (using commas and yes, no, sure)
editing first draft of fable
quick review of interogative, declarative, exclamatory sentences
Art:
Painting three dimensional objects
Science:
Powerpoint slide for modified inclined planes
