So we sort of didn't.
We skipped school on Monday as it was Christopher Columbus Day and all the kids were out. And even though we live so close to a monument of Columbus' three ships, I couldn't bring myself to drag us out the door again. So instead, we did laundry. We cleaned house. We caught up on all errands that had been neglected--oh, wait.
That was all me :P
With the upcoming weekend looking pretty packed as well, we hit cruise control and enjoyed a mild week, hence the lack of pictures.
We did our daily date writing to work on learning how to spell the month and days and practice our handwriting. We started--and have sort of decided to stop--reading Peter Pan. He's showing zero interest. I think we'll try Pinocchio instead and see if that's more up his alley.
We learned about the four types of sentences: declarative, imperative, interrogative, and exclamatory. First, we wrote a sentence for each of the four types
Then I used a free download I found online to read off sentences and have Little Bug tell me which type they were.
Once he had them pretty well memorized, we worked on recognizing the proper punctuation for each type of sentence. I supplied the sentences and he had to fill in with a ? ! or .
We began the math lesson on +9. This whole way of teaching math is so foreign and intriguing to me and I'm grateful for the DVD lessons because I'm not quite sure I would understand the concept the way they teach it if I didn't have it to refer to.
Other than that, Little Bug memorized a verse, read a book--one he quickly informed me was something he'd read in kindergarten already--jumped on some bubble wrap packaging because it sounded fun, passed out asleep in the hall with a book late one night, taught Kyle Dog how to go trick-or-treating to increase his candy inflow this year, and dressed up in costumes throughout the week.
