A Bit of Catch-Up

Plans. I had big grand plans for keeping those of you out there updated and informed on what we are doing here at Mars Hall Legacy Academy. However, life got in the way of those plans. At first we got busy with how much fun we were having and then daddy ended up getting sick and had to spend a few days in the hospital. That meant that I was there with him and the kiddos got to spend a few days with a great friend. So we have already had our first big break for the year.

But we are all home now and ready to get back into the swing of things. So without further ado here is an overview of what we will be doing this week.

Kindergarten

Arielle has finished the Creation unit and we are moving on to the letter units. The first letter we will be learning is "Ss" 

This week is all about the sun.

Bible: "Jesus is the Light of the World"  John 8:12; Psalm 119: 105

Math: #1 and Intro to the number line

Science: Sun

Language Arts: Continuing ABC song, learning the S sound

Extra: Gymnastics on Friday. They have been doing an Olympic themed session so this week the parents get to come on to the floor to watch the kids do a routine.

1st Grade

I am working on tweaking a bit of how we are using this curriculum so it has been slow going getting in a routine but I think we might finally have it all sorted out. 

Bible:  This week we are continuing the life and ministry of Jesus.

Math: Skip counting, ordinal numbers and number words

Science: Bones and the digestive system

History: Ancient Egypt continued

Language Arts: For the first half of the year we will be following the "Learn to Read" lessons so that Dart can get a better grasp on his reading before jumping into the chapter books in the lessons. So this week in language arts we are doing some blending sounds and sight word reviews continued. 

Extras:Gymnastics continues every Friday as well.


Getting back into the routine after a long break is never easy but we are all excited to get back to learning and enjoying our school time!  I can't wait to share with you what we have done at the end of the week.
