Week 12

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Just a reminder:  the suggested presentation is an Aesop's Fable.

 However, please note that you are free to choose a presentation of your choice.  This is fine for this Tuesday as well as any future presentations for this class. 

We will plan to pull out the classification chart which we did for science last week. There is a correction that will need to be made.   Sorry about that!

Look foreward to seeing you and your daughter(s) on Tuesday.

Week 11

Hey Guys,

This past Tuesday we worked on the Classification Chart for science.  After completing the chart, you could see how the CC Cycle one facts (1st semester) fell into place in better understanding the classification system. 

"We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is a great song for the girls to better learn the notes on the tin whistle.  It is a fun song too!  Singing the notes a few times first will help to learn the notes more efficiently.  This is a technique used in Suzuki violin.

Review, review, review.  Besides the other subjects, we will review geography locations for cycle one weeks 7-12 and may continue to draw Africa, Asia, and Europe. 

Lastly, presentations are :
Narrate one of Aesop’s Fables
Choose 1 or 2 of Aesop’s Fables and retell the story in your own words. Use props, expression, and gestures to bring to life.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Your girls have been a pleasure to work with!

Tin Whistle

Hey Guys,

"We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is much easier than "Jingle Bells".  Your kids may want to try "We Wish..." first as it helps one to learn the notes in a systematic way.  Have a wonderful weekend.  Denise
