In music we've been finishing up orchestras. Today we learned about the string family of instruments.
In Social Studies we are learning about South America. The countries that we are learning about are Brazil, Argentina and tomorrow we are learning about Chile. We learned that Brazilians speak Portuguese but all the other countries in South America speak Spanish.
In math I started doing grade 5 work because grade 3 was too easy. Recently we've been learning about square roots and exponents and BEDMAS (Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction - the order of operations.)
For example:
(we have to do the brackets first, then the multiplication, then the rest)
3+2x4-(2+2)=
3+2x4-(4)=
3+8-4=
11-4=

In health we have been learning about healthy eating. One day while we were learning about healthy eating, we ate something unhealthy. It was McDonalds! Even Morgan came home from school for lunch. That doesn't make much sense... does it?!

Sounds very interesting. I love hearing updates ☺️
ReplyDeleteLol I love the irony of eating unhealthy food while learning about healthy. Do you eat Halloween candy every day too? It's hard not to. Today I made my kids each eat an avacado but it was in a smoothie.
ReplyDeleteYour notes are good but they leave me asking for more information... learning about eating healthy and then stating that you had McDonald's like that is a bad thing... making healthy choices can be done in any way... and Morgan is a part of the family and should also be part of the journey you and your family is on
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work... I don't know how to change the comment space .. will need to learn that ... Heather
We didn't mean to eat McDonalds while learning healthy eating. It was a surprise lunch and dad didn't know what the topic we were learning was about. Morgan chooses not to be homeschooled as she works better that way. But we include her in as many things as we can.
DeleteGrade 3 is too easy LOL Great now we can play Are you smarter than a 5th Grader - Uncle Tony
