The completion of another week

We have wrapped up another week in our little homeschool.

Math - M is learning how to find the area of a triangle and reinforcing her division facts. B is learning how to add and subtract mixed number fractions.
Grammar-M completed her chapter review on the different kinds of nouns. Common, proper, plural, possessive, plural possessive, and so on. She started pronouns today. B- has been working on the proper form for business and friendly letters.
History- M completed her unit on Islam in the Middle Ages and is ready to move on to Vikings. B- completed his report on St. Francis of Assisi and learned the importance of checking ones spelling. He lost a fair share of points there. It was a solid report. Next week he starts on Charlemagne and will have another chance at report writing.
Spelling- they are both progressing well. They had a ball playing a spelling game today. They swapped lists and had to spell words correctly to connect the dots on their game board. M won. On a technicality B was quick to point it. But it is still a win.
For Literature we are reading Because of Winn Dixie. They made predictions on what they think will happen in the book and we will compare them when we get to the end. At the end of each chapter each of them has to come up with a name for the chapter that will help them remember what it was about. It should be fun to see what they remember when we get to the end of the story.
Science fell off the radar again because of the excitement of construction in the house. They were following the contractor through the bedrooms asking "Why? Why? Why?" "Why so much Spackle? What is Spackle? How does it stick? Why doesn't it fall off the thingy in your hand (the palette)? Why do you need so much paint to paint my room?" This all falls under the education umbrella, right?
