Week 3, Day 4

Today, Alexandra did a LIttle Einsteins puzzle:


And we read this French book:



We also read the story *Beauty and the Beast* and did pages 1-5 of Hooked on Phonics- Colors and Shapes. She learned about the color yellow. I have discovered that my daughter is very meticulous and colors inside the lines as much as possible.

Zachary did Lesson 1 of Singapore Math, 2A. The next French book I had gotten for him really did not work out well so we skiped it. I will find something else instead, probably just start him with the same program William is doing, just at a slower pace. In writing, he did p. 22-23.

William did p. 116-119, Review 4 in Singapore Math, Les Sons, p. 44-46, Trousse p. 29-31 and Writing p. 59-62.

Catherine did Singapore Math p.

BBL.

Long time no update

I know, I have not been good at keeping this blog updated. I will try to work on it today and tomorrow. Since I write down everything my kids worked on, it will be easy to update. Easy but loooong. I also have to download some pictures and try to upload them on glowfoto but that takes a long time. Ever since I got a new camera, I can only upload 2-3 pictures at a time.

So, see you later?

Week 3 Day 3

This morning, Alexandra started her homeschooling by working on her very own workbook! She had been asking to also have her activity books to work in so I got them out for her. She did p. 2-3 of Hooked on Phonics, Colors and Shapes. She learned about the color red.



Then, we read *Zoé et Théo au Zoo*:



And The Frog Prince:



And completed her routine with playing with the Caillou Logico game:



Zachary started a brand new Singapoe Math book, 2A! He was so very happy about that. He did p. 4-5, lesson 1. He also did the last page of Explode the Code B, p. 78. And, p. 2-21 of HWT.

Week 3 Day 2

Today, Ali played with the domino game again. She really likes all the animals on it. Then, we read *The Little Mermaid* from the same book in English. Followed by a French book: *Zoé et Théo à la Ferme*:



Finally, she did this really much harder puzzle of Strawberry Shortcake:



Zachary did p. 78-80 of Singapore Math, p. 76-77 of Explode the Code B and p. 18-19 of HWT.

William did exercise 48, p. 114-114 of Singapore Math, p. 38-40 of Les Sons, p.23-25 of Trousse and p. 54-55 of HWT.

Catherine did p. 54-58, exercises 21-22 of Singapore Math, lesson 15-16 of Bled, read *Ralette Fait des Crèpes*:



She did p. 3-4 of Explode the Code 5 and read *The Wish Fish*:



She really enjoys reading right now which is really nice. Of course, most of her days are spent drawing. Some days, she does very little of anything else but that is fine with me. As long as she is happy and learning, she can draw as much as she wants to.

I finally found something I was looking for!

Since last year, I have been looking for a globe for the kids. I did not just want any globe, I wanted *the* globe. Sears has it but it was so darn expensive, I really did not want to pay that much (169.99$). So, a few weeks ago, thinking that I would never find it at a reasonnable price, I bought another model from Leap Frog. I really did not like it much. I guess it was because I really wanted the other one. I got it out of the box and left it on the shelf. I did not throw away the box, as I usually do. I am not sure why but two weeks later, the box was still cluttering the playroom.

Much to my surprise, when I went to the toy store in town, I found THE one I wanted. It was 76$! Wow! I asked an employee if she could put it in the back for me so I could come back and exchange it with the one I had bought only two weeks earlier. She said yes (I am a really good client, lol). I am so very happy now. That combined with the computer game I got the kids (Lapin Malin, Le Globe Magique) and Maps and Globes and Galopping Around the Globe, I think the kids and I are going to be having a lot of fun. Once the last two finally arrive, I mean.

Oh, here is a picture of our brand new globe:

Week 3, Day 1

Another week has started.

Today, we started by watching Signing Time, volume 3, Everyday Signs. How fun it was to learn yet more signs. Soon, we will be able to communicate by signs only ... when we want to.



Alexandra started by playing with the game Mix and Match again. She really seems to love it. We played several games before moving on to story time.



Then, we read Sleeping Beauty from the same English book. Followed by a French book: Zoé et Théo; Joyeux Anniversaire:



Finally, she learned about colors by playing with these:



Zachary did p. 76-77 of Singapore Math, Explode the Code B p. 74-75 and HWT p. 16-17.

William did p. 112, exercise 47 of Singapore Math, Les Sons p. 34-36, Trousse p. 20-22 and HWT p. 46-51.

Catherine did Singapore Math p. 49-53 exercise 19-20. She also did lesson 13-14 of Bled and read *Le Bonhomme qui Souffle le Vent*:



She finally got to start Explode the Code 5, lesson 1, p. 1-2 and read *The Sun and the Wind*:



I am still waiting for my maps and geography books to arrive. I also ordered a few more books to go with SOTW. And, thanks to my friend Melissa, I ordered a program to learn latin. I hope everything gets here soon, I am so impatient to add to our routine. Within the next month, we will add Latin, geography and art.

Week 2, Day 3

Early this morning, we watched Singing Time, volume 2.

Then, Alexandra did a new (new to her, lol) puzzle that her sister lended to her:



We then read the story of *Jack and the Beanstalk* for our English book. Followed by a French book: *Zoé et Théo, une Bouteille à la Mer*:



Those books are so nice and easy to read. They keep my little girl wanting more, which is exactly what I want. Finally, she and Catherine played this game:



Zachary did p. 72-75 of Singapore Math, p. 72-73 of Explode the Code B and p. 14-15 of HWT.

William did p. 110-111, exercise 46 of Singapore Math, p. 31-33 of Les Sons, p. 17-19 of Trousse and p. 40-45 of HWT.

Catherine did exercises 17-18 of Singapore Math, lessons 11-12 of Bled, read *Ralette au Feu d'Artifice*:



And read *The Fox and the Stork* in English:
