Semester Wrap-Up
Math:
Peter is almost done with the 4th grade math book. He has mastered multi-digit multiplication and is cruising through long division. His problem solving skills and perseverance have also improved by leaps and bounds.
Elliot is a little over half way done with the first grade math book. He is working on strengthening his addition and subtraction facts and staying focused for brief periods of independent work; next he will be delving into double digit addition.
Reading:
The boys are shaping up to both be strong readers. Peter just devours books at an astonishing rate, and Elliot is reading confidently at a high first grade level.
History:
We have finished up our study of Renaissance history. Here the boys are painting the riverside garden king Babur the Tiger planted during the Moghul Dynasty in India.
Geography:
Peter has now learned to label many of the countries in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Oceania. Next up he is going to learn the US states and capitals.
Spanish:
Peter is doing very well, and has completed the first Unit of Rosetta Stone Spanish...along with several other resources to reinforce Spanish Grammar.
Elliot and Spencer have been focusing on Spanish vocab.
Electronics:
Peter has been taking an electronics course, which sends him projects in the mail.
