AO year 1, week 21, December 8

Fina was out til 7:45pm again last night, in blizzard-y conditions, with her little friend K (and some other friends who came and went). They built a snowman!

We started our school day with reading through this cute book of poems, Whiskers & Rhymes by Arnold Lobel. It is very funny! You may know him as the author of the Frog and Toad series, which are also very funny. I think soon Fina will be able to read those on her own.

I read Daniel 6 (in the lions' den) and Fina gave an excellent narration.

I read the story of "St Margaret of Scotland" in Our Island Saints. I read the whole lengthy story and then Fina gave a short narration. It was a great story of a Queen who was a Saint.

Fina finished the last page of her math lesson, 10F. Next time she will take the test and then the unit test as well.

She finished learning her Shakespeare passage "What is love?"  We read the Parable of the Mustard seed aloud together.
We sang our folksong "My Paddle/Land of the Silver Birch" and our advent hymn "O Come, O Come Emmanuel."

Fina reviewed her upper case cursive letters and learned how to draw the G. Hers is really beautiful!
