In English Liberty did a research paper over Penguins. She had to go to the library check out books penguins, read them and take notes. She then turned the notes into a first draft, where she didn't worry about spelling or grammar. Later she went back revised her paper correcting the spelling and any other mistake she had.She then wrote her final draft, where she made a cover page. I think she did a really good job. I honestly don't remember doing anything like that when I was 7.
In math we are playing catch up, we will not finish with Math U See this year, since we started it in January, but she has really been working hard and I am glad we decided to change. I went back to look at Saxon and what we would be studying and she wouldn't have done half the stuff we have done since January with Math U See.
In Heritage studies we some how fell behind, so we have been playing catch up. This last week and this week Liberty has been studying fashion in the old days. She has learned that how you dressed showed how rich or how poor you were. It also also gave clues as to what kind of profession they were. Liberty made a bonnet like the children would have worn in the colonial times.
Since today is Flag day we studied about the American flag, we talked about the different flags that came before the one we have today. We talked about what the Pledge of Allegiance means and we of course recited it. The kids made their own flags.
We are all ready for school to be over with, but we will finish the week off strong and plan to have a little celebration on Friday, so continue to check back to see how we finish up the year.
Her hat turned out great!
