Schoolwork accomplished:
*Read You Wouldn't Want to be an American Pioneer! A Wilderness You'd Rather Not Tame by Jacqueline Morley
*2 worksheets on Penguins and Antarctica by Mary Pope Osbourne. One is a Thank you award for explorers (since several famous ones are described in the book). The other is for charting animals described in the book.
*She did a word problems page in her math workbook, all on her own to surprise me. This included (simple) division problems.
*She did more pages of multiplication in the math workbook.
*Silent reading-Mr. Popper's Penguins
*Colored a picture of the American Flag that explains what the colors and stars and stripes stand for. (This was supposed to be done on Memorial Day, but that's another story)
*4 Journal questions on Mr. Popper's Penguins.
*2 Worksheets on Vacation Under the Volcano by Mary Pope Osbourne. One making up questions to ask Jack & Annie and imagining their answers, the other was a travel report.
Rough day-she was not cooperating. Kept wanting to go play after finishing a single item. And most of the time it would be a sloppy product. Like writing the award to capt. cook for "being a great explorer and discovering new lands". (I told her that's first grade work. By third grade you better be giving me reasons WHY he's great and telling what he discovered!) Later on, playing outside with brothers & neighbors.
