Math - 45 minutes of Geometry. Zoe was measuring angles and finding angles. It was all easy and she went through it quickly.
Language Arts - 45 minutes of Language Arts. Today she learned about the punctuation used in sentences with clauses, for example:
Independent Clause and, Independent Clause
Independent Clause; Independent Clause
Dependent Clause, Independent Clause
Independent Clause Dependent Clause
Zoe loves her Michael Clay Thompson language arts books.
History - 30 minutes. She read the Horrible Histories book Angry Aztec. There was lots of exclaiming about human sacrifices and cannibalism.
Science - 1 hour. Finishing last years science book, reading about Water Conservation, doing some experiments, brainstorming, deciding which ideas are most practical, and recording statistics.
Art - 30 minutes. Learning about texture. I blindfolded her and we to into the neighbors garden. I had her touch difference plants, feel their texture. Then she picked one of the plants and made a sketch.
After lunch we had Mommy Time - hanging out on the porch, trying to make each other laugh. We skipped Reading and Music because I really needed to grocery shopping.
Today was also her first day back to gymnastics.
so how did she enjoy her first day back. We've been thinking about doing some type of evening physical activity with Alex, have to find a way to tire out her body and brain as sleeping is becoming an issue. Sounds like a productive day. I agree about the Aztec history- can be a bit grusome.
ReplyDeleteAlycia - Zoe loves gymnastics. She would live there if she could. She has a lot of physical energy that she needs to burn off.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that Alex is having trouble sleeping. Zoe used to wake up and then want to come into my room and hang out. :s
Sounds like a great day!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great day! It sounds like Zoe loves Gymnastics like Grace loves Jiu Jitsu!
