Celeste and I reviewed numbers and colours. I introduced shapes vocabulary.

Adrienne and Andre both continued with their stop motion videos creations.
Adrienne gave me a beautiful mermaid drawing this week.



Andre made many paper airplanes. He has loved paper airplanes for a few years now. We found a one-a-day type calendar a couple of months ago in a clearance section at Indigo, he has been working on catching up to the current date, and usually makes a week's worth of airplanes at a time, and tests them all!




This week was a lot lighter with our school work, but filled with social activities. We visited three of my aunts on Monday for the afternoon, all the kids played with their neighbourhood friends for most of Friday, and Celeste and I went to the homeschool park day on Thursday morning. Saturday was also a day filled with fun with homeschool friends!

  1. Hi,

    We're going to be using Geography Trails this year. I notice that one of the thematic maps that can be chosen is Natural Hazards. Neither of the atlases that I have have a thematic map for natural hazards. I am wondering if you could share which atlas you used.

    Thanks so much,
    Sarah
