Dear RiverRun Families,
Although we had a long week off, I am still thinking about the Authors' Tea and how great your children did. I hope you all enjoyed reading the books again at home. Some of my favorite possessions are the books or poems that my children have written over the years.
This week the children had a fun lesson on the animal kingdom. They are all proud members of the vertebrate group, as this kingdom also has an invertebrate group as well. We noticed that our fish Raspberry and our lizard Elizabeth are members of the vertebrate group too. This lesson will tie in with the Time Line of Life, which will be the third Great Lesson given. We will be simultaneously learning about the Five Kingdoms of Life; Animal, Plant, Prokaryte, Fungi, and Protoctista and the Time Line of Life.
The first years are now using the Stamp Game for both static and dynamic addition. The Middles have been introduced to a new comprehension reader, and the Elders are working on multiplication with two digit multipliers.
We hope that your New Year is off to a good start. Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year to all.
Amy and Debbie
