Homeschool Wrap Up Week 14

We actually saw snow this week.  Big white flurries.  They melted as soon as they hit the ground, but the children were still excited to see it.  They are hoping for some snow they can play in this year!

Week 14 in our Homeschool

Bible: We completed 2 lessons in Bible Study Guide for All Ages.

Read Aloud: We read 4 chapters in our YWAM biography on Ronald Reagan, we have made it through the 7th chapter of The Long Lost Home and finished The Secret Garden.

P.E. We did 3 days of Family Time Fitness.

History: We finished chapter 19 in America's Story on the 1970's.

Science: We completed the notebooking activities on the Cardiovascular System.

Music Appreciation: We completed chapter 19 on Flight of the Bumblebee.

Spelling/Reading: The boys started level 6 of AAS and completed lessons 1 and 2.  Emmie completed lesson 20 in AAR level 2.  I bought the All About Learning letter tiles app and wondered why I waited so long to do this!  Much easier then pulling out the tiles.  I have not been having the boys use them at all because it is a pain and worse with a baby in the house, but I know how much actually building the words helps so with the app Anthony (who especially needs it) was able to practice his spelling words every day and Emmie loved using the app to build her reading words too.

Language Arts: The boys watched the video for lesson 6 in SWI A and wrote key word outlines and paragraphs on George Washington.  They read 8 chapter in Carry On Mr. Bowditch.  The girls did 4 lessons in their books.  I found a Binder Builder from A Journey Through Learning for The Little House series of books that I did know I had in my computer files and printed out the pages for Little House in the Big Woods for us to start after the break.

Math: Anthonys new books did not make it yet so he got a Get out of Jail Free card for this week.  Lily finished MLFLE Level 3.  Emmie and Christian completed 4 lessons in their books.

Art: We did some nature drawings.  We started with raccoon drawings and they kept going from there.
