Homeschooling today, minus Math and History, took 1 hour.  I expect with those two subjects it will take 2 hours.

Today I read to her about Blue Jays and she narrated back to me and drew a picture.  This is what she narrated, "Blue Jays live in our evergreen tree.   They eat nuts, berries, bugs and seeds. They say, 'Jay Jay'."

She did a page in Spelling on words that begin and end with M.

We learned about nouns in Grammar.

She copied the line, "When the earth is turned in Spring the worms are fat as anything." from the poem "The Worms" by Ralph Bergengren. This was for Poetry and Writing.

For science we read about pandas and she narrated to me, "Red pandas look like raccoons, cats and foxes.  Pandas eat only bamboo.  Mama pandas have only one or two babies at a time.  Their bamboo is being cut down."

We read chapter 3 of the biography, "Who Was Queen Elizabeth?" and she narrated, "Mary put her sister Elizabeth in jail.  Elizabeth thought she was die in jail.  Mary wanted only a Catholic ruler to follow her and she burned non-Catholics to death.   Elizabeth was only 19 in jail.   Mary died when Elizabeth was 25 and Elizabeth became queen.  The tower of London was a prison but it once held a zoo too.  Now jewels are kept there."

We will watch a documentary on pandas shortly, and do more "fun" reading as well as some drawing together.  She will do Math tonight with her father. :D
