Bible: This week we covered the next five stories in The Beginner’s Bible. We were introduced to Isaac and Jacob. This is still the kids favorite part of the day.
Reading: Monster completed lessons 14 and 15. We are still working on the first rule of silent “e”. Monster seems to be catching on and picking up the words quickly. Words that follow a specific rule make the most sense to him.
Math: Monster completed lessons 33-38. He worked on adding with the abacus on his own and I am trying to encourage him to work them out mentally. If he doesn’t realize the answer right away, the abacus is right next to him at all times. Math is still easy according to Monster 
Handwriting: Monster practiced letters o, g, c, and e. Handwriting is becoming an easier task for him. We haven’t worked on writing outside of his workbook, but will start to practice copywork after he learns how to properly form all of his lowercase letters.
Other: This week I decided to row The Glorious Flight by Alice and Martin Provensen. Monster was interested for the first few days, but his interest was still gone after a couple of readings. He was very excited about the field trip planned to the C.R. Smith American Airlines Museum, though.
What a fun field trip. Very neat :)
