Every once in awhile I realize the kids need some more practice with certain skills, a review, or some of the younger ones need a more in depth introduction. For the next week we’re putting the regular math & language lessons on hold (we’ll still do specials – art, music, history, science) and focus on some skills practice:

MATH
– calendar & time
– addition & subtraction facts (Mo & B)
– multiplication facts (C)

LIFE SKILLS
– memorizing full name of parents, address, phone number
– kid power review (we finished the book)
– chore practice/teaching (washing dishes, mopping, bed making)

LANGUAGE
– parts of speech definitions (Mo)
– memorize preposition list (C)
– spelling rules (C)
– handwriting (intro for B & E, cursive review for C & Mo.)

We’ll also do some spring cleaning of the sunroom to prepare for the warmer weather when it goes back to being our school room. (For now we’re using the living room since it’s 32 degrees and the sunroom is cold.) But we need a sunroom spring clean and purge.

Then the first week of February we’ll be starting fresh with our new six weeks chart which we’re starting Mo on… we’ll start B on it in the fall. I’m excited!
