Tuesday update

I can not believe it is Tuesday already. I feel like the week is flying by.

So far this week Little Miss M has mastered Roman Numerals and started fractions. Finished her chapter review for grammar and is on to nouns. In history she learned about the Sun King, is reading a bit about France during that time period, and has made a sun king plaque. For Science she has learned a bit about the metric system and volume measurements and will be making a model wetland later in the week.

Mister B is continuing his work in decimals, exponents, and fraction review. He has also completed his chapter review for grammar and is on to verb phrases. In history he completed his unit on Louis XIV. In science-the metric system and he made a water clock. It did not work very well but he put forth a valiant effort. If the weather warms up a bit this week he will be conducting an experiment with his water clock. Timing how long it takes for a baseball to drop from our garage roof to the ground.

Tomorrow is discussion group. In honor of the new Harry Potter movie we have been doing a HP theme. For Halloween they discussed the second movie. Touched on some themes-trust, friendship, and love. For this week we watched the 3rd movie and gave the kids some questions to answer. Such as -what would your petronus be. What shape would your bogart take on and what would you think of for your ridikulous spell. They also had to tell what they think my petronus with be. I won't find out until tomorrow.
