Schoolwork Accomplished:

*Leanna painted a few watercolor pictures.
*I read background info on expressionism and Vincent Van Gogh to Leanna, then she began and crayon and watercolor version of "Starry Night."  Then she made a second version when the black watercolor was too dark and overshadowed the crayons.  She also painted her own version using an outline and her own color choices.
*She did 3 pages of George Washington copywork-a quote and then putting it in her own words.
*She did a sheet of practice cursive.
*Silent Reading-Fever 1793 by Laurie Hales Anederson.
*a bit of music with recorder practice. 
*Leanna did 4 1/2 pages of fractions (the first four went rather quickly, we got stuck on the last page-greatest common factor.  She did the whole page but the last half was all wrong.  So proud of her for willingly plowing through! 

*Justin-we put "My Autumn Book" together and talked about fall. (read, colored, drew, and stapled together a booklet)
*He did a practice alphabet with a dry erase board.
*He painted a few pictures and experimented with making colors. 
*He did a page in the alphabet book but painted it instead of just coloring it in.

*Timothy-we put "My Autumn Book" together and talked about fall.(read, colored, drew, and stapled together a booklet)
*He did a practice alphabet with a dry erase board.
