TOG Y1r U3 W19

Princess E (UG)
Bible - 1 Kings 1-11 and 1 Chronicles 28-29, Proverbs 3
Math - MUS Gamma Test 16 - then we will spend the next several weeks doing a five minute drill sheet with the multiplication facts until she can pick up speed and accuracy.
Growing With Grammar - 4.1 to 4.4
Reading - What the Bible is All About (excerpts)
Writing - this quarter both princesses will be learning about newspapers and summary writing. They will together be writing various articles on Ancient Greece for a newspaper which they will put together. We will have copies made and give them out to relatives.
And as with all TOG units we will do vocabulary on Quizlet, copywork of our Important People for the week, Student Activity Pages (SAPs), a history response page, a map for geography, and a worksheet I found on the Hebrew Kings.

Princess S (LG)
Math - MUS Beta Lesson 22 - this is introducing borrowing. I am expecting, as with her sister, that we may camp out on this lesson for a few weeks. But, she may surprise me.
Growing With Grammar - Princess S finished her last book and we will be starting this series. We will do several pages a day as we are doing the 1st and 2nd grade book. This should be all review, but these concepts don't seem to resonate with this princess. This week she will do lessons 1-10.
Everything else - pretty much the same as above.

Princess L (PreK)
We will be starting the 100 Easy Lessons book. I anticipate we won't do this every day, but more like three days a week.

Princess M
She is discovering books. Not so much the sitting still to read, but is beginning to enjoy climbing up in my lap, turning all the pages in 15 seconds, then climbing down to get another book. It's a start. She is also still taking two naps a day, but I can see that will be ending soon. Our schedule will start picking up and we will have activities on Monday, Wednesday and every other Friday mornings. This will make it hard to get the morning nap in - which usually means they start to not take it. It also means her afternoon naps will happen sooner and she won't sleep as late, which makes it harder to prepare dinner or do work with her older sisters. We'll do the best we can with the time we've got!

Blessings.

P.S. - DH taught Princess L a joke that she is finally able to say. Here it is:

Princess L: Knock, Knock.
Other person: Who's there?
Princess L: Impatient cow.
Other person: Impatient cow ...
Princess L: MOOOOOO!

She does this with perfect timing and gets a laugh every time. The thing is that I don't think she gets the joke herself, but knows that everyone else does and thinks it's funny - so she tells it.
