October 28, AO year 1, week 7

We finished session 16 in our math on Tuesday morning.  Next we will be adding 10s.

Did our morning prayer together. And we did a couple of puzzles before breakfast.

We are listening to Brahms as we are working on our cursive letters! Her "w" is getting better and she also wrote "wa" and "ww." I hadn't even realized that there are different ways of connecting the "w" to what comes after it, depending on that second letter.  No wonder cursive isn't easy to learn!

The black pen is mom's. The blue is Fina's work.

Read and narrated Genesis 41:15-49, 53-57. Joseph and the Pharoah's dreams of 7 cows and 7 ears of wheat.

She practiced reciting "The Cow" properly and loudly in preparation for our first CM Co-op meeting next week (with our friend E and her kids S and E, and our friend L with her kids T and S). She did a good job with it today. She recited all her other poems and we read two new poems "Armies in the Fire" and "The Little Land."

We read chapter 4 form Our Island Story, "How Caligula conquered Britain and How Caractacus Refused to be Conquered." The story (I believe it is a legend) of Caligula not actually conquering Britain, but bringing his soldiers to the coast of France, having them dressed in the war attire, and ordering them to pick up hundreds of sea shells (that they would say were their trophies of war) and having them pretend to have conquered Britain, and then turning them back home was quite hilarious to both Fina and me!
