MAX: I finished reading Ricky Ricotta book 1. I used my points to get a Demogorgon minifig. I did quite a few Explode the Code pages. I started and finished Ricky Ricotta book 2 about the mosquitos from Mercury. Now I'm reading book 3 which is about the Voodoo Vultures from Venus.
MALI: I read The Fox. I read Up! I read Birds. I read a couple other mini books. I did a bunch of pages in my Explode the Code workbook. I did some Reading Eggs. I finally had my DIBELS. I was supposed to have it a couple weeks ago but I was pretty sick.
Math
MAX: I did Dreambox lessons. I did more workbook pages on shapes and made a picture out of shapes. It is a penguin.
MALI: I did some dreambox lessons. I placed numbers on a hundreds chart in one lesson. In another I practiced identifying numbers 0-50 on a 100 bead frame.
Science
In our marine biology class we learned about the oceans. We learned how the ocean water is salt water.
History
We learned about the early Greeks. We learned about their alphabet and how some of our letters came from that alphabet. We also learned about Homer and one of the stories of Homer, the one where Odysseus blinds the Cyclops who trapped him and his men in the cave. We learned about theoriginal Olympic Games.
Music
our homework was identifying and coloring the different hand signs for the solfege. We listened to the songs and got to accompany Old Paint on the autoharp at class.

We built the next project in our engineering kit. It was about columns. We watch some videos on YouTube about Greek architecture and their use of columns, including identifying the three types of Greek columns. It was fun because this tied in with our history lesson on early Greeks as well.

In Explore the World we learned about the seven continents and talked about how the earth is made of two hemispheres and covered ~75% with water. We talked about the compass rose and the four cardinal directions. We learned that there are 195 countries. We decorated our “Passports” with stickers of different countries, read a myth from Finland, jumped around to the continents on our world map, and made paper airplanes to help us travel.
We went to the mall with our Dad and got to ride the animals around
