I used to do these WLN posts to keep up with what we were learning. Then this year it seemed be redundant because at the beginning of the year we were using a “do the next thing” curriculum. Since we have dropped that, I thought I would pick them up again so I would have a record of what we have been doing.

The kids do individual work in math, language arts and handwriting that I track in Scholaric. What’s in our Math BUILD system this week can been seen here. Instead of posting the Math BUILD items and this separately I think I am going to do them together each week. That means I will put this weeks’ BUILD items in next week’s Learning Notes post.

This is everything else we did.
