Catholic 1st Grade Homeschool: Day 14

Math - with calendar time

1. Today I gave Bill his very first math test. This is the only subject I'll be testing this year. In the other subjects, I will assess how well Bill is picking up the subject matter and progressing simply by interacting with him daily. I will give him grades accordingly.

2. After the test, we made shapes and numbers on the geoboard rubber bands.

Science & Social Studies -

1. We read the next 2 chapters in Magic Treehouse, chapters 5 & 6.
