Math, Reading & Nomads

The title about covers it! Mane watched the DVD for math lesson 19 yesterday, did one practice page, and took the test today. She's amazing. Then she read me a book called Bears, Bears Everywhere by Rookie Readers and played with her bears for a loooooooong time.

Later in the day we started reading Story of the World. We finished chapter 1, which we had already read when we first bought the book last year. I was amazed at how much Mane remembered from the first reading. I guess she found it interesting! I asked her the review questions out of the activity book to be sure she understood the story. Then she colored a map of the fertile crescent. We defined the words "fertile" and "nomad."

Not much else to say. Today we'll be covering more about what the nomads and early people ate and then talking about the food pyramid.
