Week 4, Monday

Wow! We already made it to week 4 and we are still going strong.  Today Ciara finished an entire unit of math in less than 30min.  It was on number lines, and all 5 lessons were very short and easy.  So we moved onto our units 1-4 review and Ciara did quite well remembering what we had studied during our very first math unit (mega numbers and place value).

After Spanish, we decided to work on a board game that Ciara had invented a few months ago.  It was called the "Minty Game" (Ciara loves mints).  It was a pretty cute game, but needed to be reworked a little.  During our lunch hour, we took out some clay and made new game pieces.  Then Ciara rewrote all the instructions to the game and we started designing the game board.  It is really fun to work on this board game together and Ciara is learning a lot too: how to write instructions, how to design and sculpt, how to draw, how to measure, how to calculate the number of spaces between obstacles so that the game is not too easy or too hard.  Once the game is done, I'll post another picture.
