Friday review
Asmund is struggling with his concentration when he reads, so we did a very light load today. Wystan is doing better, and excited about reading new books. He's almost ready for "real" books.
We did a mixed media art project--crayons, stickers, watercolors and salt.
We're starting two new topics. History this year will be the Revolutionary War. We're watching The Events Leading Up to War today.
Wystan is just learning about place value, and Asmund is starting subtraction with regrouping. These have been helpful:

Julius Caesar
The Flint Hills Shakespeare Festival is this weekend, and the play is Julius Caesar. We'll be attending Saturday night, so to prep we've listened to The Young Person's Guide to Shakespeare and watched a few youtube videos.

Butterfly Time
It's butterfly time again. We've been learning about the human body for science, but this week we're taking a break to review the Monarch migration and talk about insects.

We've discovered Vowel Owls and C-V-C world building cards, which have been great for cementing those vowel sounds. I've appreciated the MFW curriculum for their slow and steady phonics learning, but we are skipping many of the easier worksheets, they're mind numbingly boring for the bigs at this point. Asmund and Wystan are both reading easy reader books.
