Our Activities This Week
Monday - The parade that was supposed to be last week-end was postponed because of weather. Monday afternoon we were asked to come and help get the 4 H float ready for the parade. I am NOT creative when it comes to these types of things. None of the ideas were mine, we just had to follow directions :)
Tuesday was the parade. We had the baby that day and as soon as he got up from his nap headed back to the EH House to finish up getting things ready and then get them over to the parking lot where the judging would be and get the float assembled. Our theme was Whoville. Nicholas was the Grinch, the girls dressed as Whos and Christian was the 4 H clover. Anthony and Alex and I also rode on the float. We won 3rd place.
Wednesday our STEM co-op from last week was also postponed because of weather and rescheduled for Wednesday morning. Wednesday are already busy days for us but the children really wanted to go so off to Grandview we went. We did Dutch Oven Cooking and made pizza and monkey bread. Now they want to buy a Dutch Oven to take camping with us.
After Grandview we went to Walmart and then to the church to get ready for Kid's Club and after that Children's Choir.
Thursday we had Liam in the afternoon. We went to the church that the piano recital is held and helped set up for the recital. Then headed to the EH House so Lily and Christian could decorate gingerbread houses made from graham crackers. Emmie had dance so she couldn't stay. I ran her to dance then back to the EH House until she was finished. There was an extra house so they sent it home with me so Emmie could decorate it.
Friday we went grocery shopping and ran errands in the morning. That evening Nick and Alex had a 4 H Christmas party and the rest of us went to Lily's Christmas Music Recital. She played My Favorite Things and did a great job. It was a late night for my children who are usually in bed by 8 and didn't even get home until 10:15.
The girls made some reindeer cupcakes to take to the piano recital potluck.
Saturday we went on a hay ride to sing carols and then had a Christmas Party. It was a little chilly but a beautiful night and it did not rain on us! I did not get any pictures.
Sunday was the Christmas Cantata at church and Children's Choir sang one song with the adults. This evening the older boys have gone Christmas caroling to some shut ins and then out for pizza.
Week 17 in Our Homeschool
With all the activities this week we ended up missing about a day and a half of school work.
Read Aloud: We finished The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. I read this aloud every year and cry every year that I read it. It is a wonderful story. "HEY! Unto you a child is born!" We also read a few chapters of The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe and Dragonspell.
History: We read the last 5 chapters of America's Story 3. We will be starting The Mystery of History after Christmas break.
Music Appreciation: This weeks we completed chapter 22 in Music Appreciation I on The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Rather then just listening to it we watched it on Fantasia 2000.
Spelling/Reading: The boys finished step 4 in AAS 6. Emmie completed lesson 27 in AAR Level 2.
Language Arts: Anthony had to catch up from being sick last week so he completed his paper on The boy Who Cried Wolf for SWI A. Emmie completed 3 lessons for LLFLE. Lily completed the activities for chapter 2 in Little House in the Big Woods.
Math: We did 3 days of math this week.
Next week we will only be working on a few things to finish up the semester and then will be on Christmas break.
I hope you had a great week!
Happy Homeschooling!
