  Here are Makaylee's latest assignment sheets. Bible: We are working on learning Psalm 91. We have verses 1-2 pretty much down.

Language Arts:  Makaylee is doing word searches every day and knows 80 of the first 100 spelling words.  She is writing one to two sentences a day and is starting to pay attention to things like spacing and letter size. She tried cursive but decided it was just a little too hard right now.  She has just been playing around with typing games so far this year. Next week I will try to get...

Today we made baking soda and vinegar volcanoes and then we played with leaf/crayon prints. Makaylee decided she wanted to print just her last name on her paper.
