THURSDAY: Projects, Pictures and Toolboxes

Brise and Vinze began assembling their Early America Project Boards today. They have taken notes, finished quizzes and printed some interesting pictures so now they get to begin the actual project.

Brise will focus on Benjamin Franklin and "minor" in other people who influenced the "making of America" before the Declaration was signed. Vinze will focus on The Boston Tea Party and "minor" in people who influenced the founding of America.

Brise did some pre-algebra today. He did his typing practice, United States quiz, reviewed his finger spelling for sign language and fiddled with Microsoft Word to put together his project. He also helped Vinze with Microsoft Word to begin his project.

Vinze worked on huge addition problems today and also began a page of word problems. He practice "skip counting," finger spelling and looked up information about The Boston Tea Party.

Daxx finished a worksheet about the sound "CH" makes. He printed his name a few times, worked on the letters D and a and said the alphabet.


Kole finished a worksheet about the sound "P" makes. He printed his name a few times, worked on the letter K and read the book "Go, Go, Go" to me and by himself. He also read words on the "word wall," practiced some other sight words, said the alphabet and colored some pictures.

Some people have been wondering what the boys have in their tool boxes. Here's a snapshot of the top of Daxx's lid. It has a portion that snaps open/closed. He keeps his crayons, paste, scissors and ink pen up there. Inside the box is a top shelf where he keeps his pencils, glue and ruler. Under the shelf he keeps his notebook, markers, colored crayons and general toys for safe-keeping. :o)

That's all for today!
