Tornado Boy
Math: We did the chapter 1 review and skipped the test. It was clear he knew what he was doing, as it was mostly review. We then started in on the place value chapter, learning about thousands. This is also review, but he's enjoying it because he likes big numbers. :)
Reading: Still reading the Book of Greek Myths.
Grammar: Learned articles and started memorizing a new poem, "The Tragic Story", which was quite funny. I had him act it out, and he liked that! His acting is horrible, but he had fun anyway, since he got to spin around and around. :)
Writing: We did week 6, which included some poetry. He did very well with all parts of this. He also was excited when the copywork/dictation for the week was half of a lesson from Wheeler's slated for this week, so he got to skip that part in Wheeler's. ;)
Handwriting: We did m, n, r, and x.
Spelling: We did lessons 9-10 in Wheeler's.
Read-Aloud: None.
Bible: We learned about Jesus as a boy, Jesus' baptism, and the beginning of his ministry.
History: We learned about the end of the ancient Jewish nation. Tornado Boy then decided to start reading Revelation, since I told him (as the early dater that I am) that Revelation foretells the destruction of Jerusalem. He read one chapter. LOL. Major points for trying! He also studied about Nero and how the Christians hid in the Catacombs.
Science: None.
Art: None.
Spanish: None.
The Brute
Again, I don't remember what we did, if we did anything. I did answer a LOT of "why" and "what happens if" questions though. This stage is difficult!!!!
Mischief
This one started the "why" stage this week also. I think he's mimicking his big brother, as he really doesn't understand the answers to the questions yet. But he does ask "why". I'm not sure if I should be glad they're both going through the stage at once, or scared. :P
