Our Mariposa Class was titled Animals Across Cultures. We took a look at the Use of Animals cross - culturally in art, household needs, transportation, food, rituals, festivals, and religions. This was very interesting. I always find that the classes compliment our own studies as Sonlight Curriculum has a strong emphasis on learning about other cultures. At the end of this class Terry showed the kids how to make pop-up cards. Evelyn has been making them for everyone ever since.
Evelyn is learning to subtract with trading. We practiced trading one ten for ten ones using our base ten manipulatives.
** Quinn is nearing the end of Singapore 4A already. I have been very pleased with how easily he has embraced fractions. He has successfully learned to simplify, change improper to mixed and vice versa, add, subtract and multiply fractions and much more. Here's hoping that 4B goes as well!**We are reading Pippi Longstalking aloud this week.
**Quinn is reading Beorn the Proud. I have been taking history and literature selections for Quinn from Veritas Press since they do medieval history in fourth grade. It lines up quite nicely!
