Discussion on what it means to truly forgive. Not only to say, "I forgive you" but to forget what has been done against you.

Math-Working together on fractions. Quarters, halves, thirds. Caileigh worked on money using pennies, nickels and dimes. Aiden reviewed money using pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. We played store. They took turns being the shopper and the shop clerk. Caileigh's items would have totals such as 3 cents, 15 cents, 10 cents etc. Aiden's would have totals like 93 cents, $1.25 etc.

Language Arts- Daily writing practice. Made our October calendars.

Daily reading practice. Both Aiden and Caileigh extremely enjoy books by C.W. Anderson such as "Billy and Blaze". They seem to be the perfect length for independent reading.

Raz Kids.

Poetry read aloud.

Swallows and Amazons read aloud.

The kids narrated stories to me.

Aiden's story:

Caileigh's story:

Once a princess was walking in the woods and then she saw a high, high tree. She sees a tree fort in it. Then she hears a sound. Boom! She looks up and sees a ladder and then she climbs up the ladder and peeks in the tree fort. No one was in there. She got in and saw a treasure box. She opened it and saw a golden necklace and gold and then she saw, at the back of the tree fort, a big, big, shadow. And when she went to the back she saw that it was her brother. The brother told his stories that he had dug for gold and had found the treasure and he decided to give it to his sister. He had hidden it up there for his sister so she would find it and join his club. The End.

Fine Arts Piano lessons and daily practice.

Artistic Pursuits with Ms. Sandi

The kids made Christmas decorations? They are very eager and were disappointed when they found out that there is still 2 months before we will officially start Christmas crafts.

Life Skills Aiden and Caileigh made dinner. Aiden picked potatoes from the garden, washed and chopped them. Caileigh peeled and chopped carrots. Aiden filled the pot with water, spices and stirred the Soup. (I added chicken) The kids both rolled out the dough to make buns and set the table. We have also started having meal time helpers. Each of the older 3 children is responsible to help me with a meal. They get dishes out, wash and chop veggies/fruit and help clear up. It has become a big help to me!
