Week 8

In EEL, we discussed prepositions!  Although we memorize a large number of them in Foundations, our list is not exhaustive.   For every 5 prepositions your child brings to class, they will receive 1 bonus point!  During class, we were stumped as to how to use but as a preposition, but we were looking at it at the beginning of a sentence.  Beyond the colon is an example: Concerning dinner, I want everything but cabbage.

 

Kindly,Ruth provided us with other resources for prepositions, be sure to thank her next week!  http://www.homeschool-curriculum.co/videos-and-resources/ Click on the two with prepositions in their name.

The kids were so excited to play battleship!  Next week we'll play a card game using the face cards as the 13-15's.  Practice the facts as home this week.

 

Somehow I attempted to skip a lesson this week!  Thanks for catching the error Charlotte!   So we are on lesson 6 with topic sentences and clinchers.  With each passing week, we'll ask a few more children to read from their KWO.  Papers should continue to be done and brought to class, we just want to work on presenting not necessarily reading the papers to the class.  According to Debbie, they are working on the same task in Challenge B! The more familiar they are with their papers, the easier it will be to present from the KWO. 

 

Peace and Blessings,
