Week 21

Yet again, we had a great day at CC today!

Here is the recap:

Time Line: We are using the first song on the CD (track) 25. We sang the song and the kids took turns pointing to the presidents we were singing about.

History: We had fun, fun, fun dancing to this one (well, at least I did LOL). This song just screams "DANCE!" We had a few signs we worked in to the dance----for 1980's we held up 8 fingers, put and end to...., we did our hands like a "you're safe" sign in baseball, lesson the gov't we had our hands going down, for strengthen we did strong arms----otherwise we just danced, danced, danced :) I did use some of the kids as puppets and had them really get down---that's always fun :)

Latin: We did the song and repeating it without singing too.

English: we repeated the sentence several times while a few kids were designated conjunctions and they would go and hook arms (connect) to students that were words, phrases, or clauses (ho, ho, ho!).

Science: Just some hand gestures----impossible we did the same sign like in the history song for "your safe" in baseball, and then held up a 0 with our hands. Make sure they don't try to add in "degrees" to the sentence, as it is possible to be 0 degrees, but not absolute zero temp.

Math: We wrote it out and then followed along as we sang a song. I am told there is a song the tune is from but I can't remember it to be honest----I will have to find out again. Hopefully your child remembers it--- it did help mine this week (and me :)

Geo: Cuba looks kind of like a cigar, Jamaica is right below "No problem!", Haiti is to the West of the island that it shares with Dominican Republic.

I can not believe that there are only 3 more weeks of this CC year!!!

I hope you each have a wonderful blessed week!!
See you Tuesday!
