Evaluation of Set Four

• Bible -- K. is doing really well learning the verses and sometimes catches me saying the wrong words since I am re-learning them from the KJV. I am continually amazed at how God weaves things together. The topics "I planned" for each set of weeks last winter in 24 Ways or the Friendship book seem to be exactly what what we are needing to discuss now.
• Writing -- while K. still enjoys drawing from the Draw Write Now book, she seems a bit bored with the writing, so I'm keeping it for drawing and using more games for writing.
• Spelling -- using the magnetic letters on the fridge for reviewing spelling has been a great way to reduce the "are we done yet" attitude.
• Grammar -- the activities and books about prepositions were great, and through the mad libs, I am sure K. knows the difference between action, naming, and describing words.
• Reading -- our Friday games help keep things fun. Since K. reads well, and loves to read to herself, I keep the number of pages for "Reading" short.
• Math -- K. is catching on well to the new addition facts. She seems to have grasped the concept of even and odd numbers. She understands which number is greater or less, but we need more work on using the symbols and reading the math sentence.
• History -- K. is enjoying this period of history. Our castle still isn't completed, but we will work on it some more this next set of weeks.
• Science -- I wasn't sure how much K. would enjoy My Side of the Mountain, but we took our time with it and talked about it, and now that we have finished it, I saw her reading it the other day.
• Fine Arts -- I've started keeping the cd's in the car -- it's a good place for listening.
