Well......

here it is Sunday and our HS plans have not gone as planned. Day one went great! Day 2 we did the oral LAs but still need to do the copywork and talk about what type of story Ferdinand is. We will do that today after CCD. Today is art day, so we are going to look at Vista del Toledo by El Greco (Spanish painter) and then after doing our picture study we will try to paint a building with wavy lines and dark colors (just like El Greco). We are also going to look for examples of humor in the artwork in the book. For drama we will act out some of the scenes from various points of view.

Here are our plans for the rest of the week:
Day 4: Science: we will read about cork trees, trees in general (fits with our Cub Scout theme this month), make leaf rubbings, talk about how to tell the age of a tree, visit our local state park and nature center etc.

Day 5: Applied Math:
We are going to learn how to measure things using inches and feet.

Wish us luck!
