Life Skills:
The boys and I are working through the pedestrian safety lessons put out by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. We used painter's tape to lay out a neighborhood on the table to practice safely walking our Imaginext figures up and down the road...they only got run over by the dump truck a couple times.
Literature:
Peter has been reading up a STORM!! He is reading Nate the Great books as fast as we can get them out of the library. He is also reading a lot of superhero chapter books and non-fiction books about anything and everything.

Park Day:
We met up with a homeschool group at our local park and the boys played, played, played. There were more than a dozen moms there and 30+ kids ranging in age from 1-12ish.
We finished week 3, took a week off for zoo camp and then did week 4.
Language Arts:
Peter did his first spelling dictation sentences.
History:
We have covered a lot of ground. We learned about the first Sumerian dictator, Sargon, and great king Hammurabi of Babylon. Then we headed east and read about the first cities of ancient India and China. The boys painted Chinese vases.

Spanish:
The boys are starting to learn about verb conjugation. We are planning on covering this topic very thoroughly and taking all the time we need to be comfortable with regular -ar verbs.
History:
We read about King Narmer uniting upper and lower Egypt and learned about some ancient forms of writing. The boys tried their hands at writing in cuneiform and hieroglyphics.

Happy Birthday, Spencer!!
