Howdy all. Wow! We have a sharp class this year, and I am looking forward to working with everyone to make sure that goals are reached and surpassed!
We began our first literature study today with Scott O'Dell's "Island of the Blue Dolphins". (I don't have an underlining option with this blog, so please excuse my use of quotations with a book title.) The book is a Newberry Award Winner and an excellent look at pre-statehood Native Americans. We will be working with this book for about three weeks and then will branch into ocean animal and Native Californian studies.
The kids are quickly grasping the math review work that we have covered in the Saxon program. It is very different from Excel, but I am excited with how everyone is adapting to the change of format.
We also begin studying the physical geography of California.
Homework today includes the following:
-Reading Log
-Math lesson 2 (1-15) (Most of the students finished this in class.)
Respectfully, Mr. B
