Week 5 in our Homeschool
Bible: We finished Vol 4 of Answers For Kids and started Vol 5.
Read Aloud: For our morning read aloud we started and finished Who Was Mary Mother of Jesus? In the evenings we have been reading through the Felicity American Girl books. We are are also still reading through the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place. We are on book 4 The Interrupted Tale.
History: We completed lessons 8 and 9 in America's Story Vol 3 on The Stock Market Crash and The Great Depression.
Science/History- We have been reading through New York City ~ By The Way which has a lot of historical, science, and nature facts and information. One of the things we read about in the book was the statue of Balto that is in New York City, commemorating the dogs that got the medicine for the diptheria epidemic. Friday night for our movie night we watched Balto (the girls had never seen it.) We will be starting back up with Apologia Human Anatomy next week.
Spelling: The boys finished Step 20 in All About Spelling Level 5.
Language Arts: Christian and Anthony did the key word outline, rough draft, and final paragraph in IEW SWI A on Pillbugs. Lily completed 4 lessons in Hake/Saxon Grammar and Emmie completed 4 lessons in Language Lesssons for a Living Education 2. She also did some Reading Eggs.
Math: Christian, Lily, Emmie, and Anthony all completed 4 lessons in Math Lessons for a Living Education.
Other Activities this Week:
Monday night was Mom's Night Out. I am so thankful for this every month!
Tuesday the girls were back to gymnastics!
We had about an hour and a half to kill after it was over before Christian's soccer practice so the girls roller bladed while Christian and I walked and then they played on the playground. Lily did something to her knee and has been complaining about it off and on ever since. Christian's practice ended a little after 8 and we were off to the house to get ready for bed.
Wednesday was our first day back to Kid's Club! It was a great first week back. We are continuing moving chronologically through the Bible and this week's lessons came from the book of Ezra and taught that God can see and change our hearts. Nick is helping with craft again this year and Alex with recreation. Anthony has outgrown Kid's Club and moved up to junior high youth.
Thursday Liam came to visit. Lily had piano. Then Emmie had dance. She is enjoying her new class and teacher and asked if she can learn tap too. The tap class is right after ballet so she will be able to try it out this week.
Friday we had a STEM homeschool co-op at Grandview. The topic was Macro-invertebrates. They waded in and canoed in the pond looking for cool samples of things they could look at under the microscope. They all really enjoyed it!
Saturday Art and I had a big date! We went out to eat, to Lowes, the co-op, and grocery shopping at Walmart. It was nice to be out without the children. I bought some extra groceries, hopefully enough besides milk and produce to last a little over two weeks. I'm hoping staying out of the store will help save some grocery money!
I sold all of this year's 4 H chickens. That still leaves us with 7 hens and 2 roosters. I have so many eggs right now! Lily was not happy to see them all go but I told her if we did not sell them she would not be able to get new chicks next year because we wouldn't have any place to put them.
I hope you had a great week!
Happy Homeschooling!
