Monday, the first day back after a sugary-sweet, commercialized 2-week break. I'm more then ready to get back into the groove of organized-unschooling (isn't this an oxy-moron?) and even more excited to impliment the successful Charlotte Mason method, into our days!
Heres a peek at what went on:
Math-Horizons 5: geometry and long division. I also made a 5 story problems up...I mean, can one every do enough of these?, a game using divisibles.
Reading: Tommie read 15 pages of a Thomas Edison bio. Paying careful attention to these words, which I pulled from his reading...which will become his spelling words until they are mastered: Thomas Edison, January-Jan., inventor, famous, shouldn't, canal, barges, basket, balloon, Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, Canada, Detroit, Port Huron, telegraph, operatior, locomotive, Civil War and Morse Code.
Narration: orally tell me what he read and orally answer questions I came up with.
Grammar and creative writing: Used each word in sentence. Use proper punctuation and adjectives. AND, GOOD HANDWRITING!
Spelling: missed a couple of words had to write them 10 times each. Then 10 times in cursive.
Extra: made a map of the Great Lakes and researched what lies between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Tried to find Milan, Ohio on our road atlas, no such luck. Filled in a blank map with abbreviations of the North Eastern states.
Science: 3 science experiments and filld out speculation sheets. Two experiments failed. One successful.
I read aloud: Apologia Science: dinosaurs- latin for terrible lizard. For us personally, Apologia-Land Animals of the fifth day is much to hard to understand for Tommie to read alone. Hence, the help from me!
Our other read aloud: Good-bye Billy Radish, about WW1.
We also read: The Great Fire of Yellowstone.
Art: Reverse Glass painting!
