We did our morning prayer together and listened to some Brahms. During breakfast we listened to some Zecchino d'oro kids' songs in Italian. (She has been requesting this a lot lately. I don't know if it is too counter-balance the Brahms or what! And she often asks what a certain line means etc. So I am happy about that.)
We finished reading The Velveteen Rabbit. It was very nice. I had never read that story, though it is so well-known in pop culture.
For math, she finished up 18D, E and F (adding 10s). I have never seen math be so smooth for her!!!
We read a new poem "Nest eggs." Cute, but a bit long to memorize.
We continued with her cursive letter b - also so wonderfully done. She even figured out how to write an l after b in blast by herself. without me showing her!!! And she somehow thought of writing Alabama, because we had written bam. And, of course, we do know the letters, so I wrote the uppercase A and she wrote the rest.
Then we read the first half of the chapter about St Patrick in Our Island Saints. We looked on the map to see where Scotland and Ireland are. She narrated it quite well. It was interesting. We heard the story of how he would use the shamrock to explain the Trinity.
We looked at our fourth painting by Corot, The Letter. We talked about the difference between a portrait and a self-portrait. And she described what she saw in the painting. (We did it with the print visible. It seems to work better for us for now. We will see next week at our co-op, if we cover it up and other kids are remembering things they have seen, that might help her. Her competitiveness should help!)
We finally read chapter 3 from The Burgess Bird Book and listened to the song of a little sparrow on youtube to go along with it. She enjoys those stories.
