luuknam Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Am I the only one not loving Deconstructing Penguins? My 8yo refused to dissect perch and squid (though luckily he was willing to watch), so I'm pretty sure he wouldn't love to deconstruct any penguins either. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 What did YOU read in 6th grade? We had these things called books that were made of paper. (For very young children, they might be made of fabric.) Once in a while, we'd read magazines. Regards, Kareni 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luuknam Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) What does reading/English instruction look like for K? K makes the /k/ sound. You'd typically find it before an I or an E, since the other letter that makes the /k/ sound, the C, makes a /s/ sound in front of those letters. You'll also sometimes find the K at the end of a word, often in combination with the C, to make CK after a short vowel. The combination CK still just makes one /k/ sound, not /k/-/k/ or /s/-/k/. [insert tons of examples] ETA: and there are other combinations as well, such as SK in desk, or w/e.

scoutingmom Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Tell me about Roman Roads. Well, it has been a long time since I heard about them... but (assuming you mean ancient ones, not the current ones in Rome...) they were built a long time ago, and are all over various parts of Europe because the Roman Empire covered a lot of Europe at various times. The Romans felt that good roads was very important so that they could move their army efficiently, so they were a high priority. I learned, for that reason, the roads were made uncommonly well - generally made by digging right down to the bedrock and then building them up from there. Because they were made so well, roads have often been built more modernly on top of the Roman Roads.

luuknam Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 If you bought books you want them to read.,. ...don't send those books to sleep-away summer camp with them, as they'll thoughtlessly put wet clothes on top of those books, such that those books will have to be tossed when they get back from camp (unread at that). (luckily this was only one book, the book I gave Celery for finishing 3rd grade, but Celery was upset when I took the trashed book out of his bag and told him "sorry, but this is unsalvageable"). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
