Week 4

Here I am again, at the end of the week - feeling like I'm sure I missed something, but being totally exhausted from the busy week anyway!

This week the kids all did their work without as much complaint - which is nice!

Hannah hooked in to her English work and even looked to extend her knowledge a bit. She finished her work when she was asked and all we have left to do is a bit of Maths if she is up to it.

We have looked at verbs and agreement this week. The kids had a bit of trouble with some stuff, but generally got the idea. This week we took what we've been learning for the last few weeks and put it together in the form of a narrative. Both older kids have an excellent use of rich language and the idea of what a narrative is.

Zach did his work but I am yet to mark it, so I'm not sure how he went. I expect that he did pretty well - his narrative was coming along nicely when I last heard about it. He has covered a lot of maths this week and looks like he is understanding it. At least I know that, no matter what happens in the future, I have at least one kid who gets algebra!

Issie has done a lot of her work very efficiently this week, mainly to give her more time to do what she wants to do! She has been at the library a lot this week, which is a happy thing for her. She is moving through her maths work and I love to see her eyes light up when she actually grasps a concept. That's one of the best things about teaching your own kids!

We have cooked a lot this week - bread... and lemon meringue pie was especially popular!
