Just a week at home doing some exploring, math & reading.
Ellar and I like to go outside for walks during the day to explore our neighbourhood. We live in a beautiful part of Northern British Columbia! Our dog, June, comes along for the walks too. We live about 10km from town on a small acreage in a log house. This week we saw hundreds of wild elk bedded down in a field about a kilometre from our house! Here's a photo of what we saw from the side of the road on our walk!

Ellar was using base 10 for addition. He learned to make two piles of the two numbers that he was adding, and he put the piles together to make one big pile and that was the answer! He also learned how to take away a pile of cubes to reduce a number as in subtraction. Ellar really enjoys Mathletics, too!! He prefers using the computer or iPad for his lessons. We play games, like war and also memory, using the Power of Ten cards so Ellar becomes more familiar with what a group of ten looks like and can easily identify 3 less than is 7 etc.

Ellar likes to read level b and c books. He works on both and reads several every week.
