Here are some quick pics of what we've been up to the last two weeks or so. We do have a daily schedule set up for the girls. Here's the plan:

Social Studies- SOTW 2 Reading 10-15 mins. daily. Corresponding Netflix videos. Comprehension questions at end of each chapter.

Total daily time approximate: 3.5-4 hrs (excluding science mentor time)
Jordan age 4.3- Math with cuisenaire rods/Singapore K (alternating) about 20 mins. Phonics- 15 mins. Writing- 10 mins.
Lots of trips to the science museum, especially the space exhibits.
Jordan did a preschool camp at the Art Museum, which meant the other girls and I did daily tours of the exhibits.
Continuing with gymnastistics
Getting ready for their uncles wedding in September
Playing around with bells.
Swim lessons & the pool.
Alex is now working on grade 6 EPGY for language, and mastered fractions (add/sub mixed numbers with unlike denominators)- I do still need to remind her to simplify her final answers.
and Jordan is coming along with her phonics and recently learned the silent e rule. We're on lesson 66 of OPGTR She also loves working with cuisinaire rods and had me create this video of the many ways to make 9, to share with you. Lastly, I highly recommend this ipad app that focuses on gentle play with number bonds using virtual rods.
Lots of fun learning. Your girls look so beautiful in their dresses. Thank you for sharing.
