Homeschool Wrap Up Week 26

It was a short school week for us.  Monday I had a dentist appointment so the children ended up with a morning off of school.  Wednesday morning they all had dentist appointments (we have an awesome dentist that schedules all 6 at once) and with the drive down and back and it falling on a Wednesday when we have to be to church by 2 we did not make it home until 6:15 that night which gave them another day off. 

Week 26 in Our Homeschool

Bible: We completed three lessons in The 10 Minute Bible Journey.

Read Aloud: We finished Book 4 of The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls.  We started The Sliver Chair and are still reading through Dragon Quest.

History: We watched 1 episode of Drive Thru History Acts to Revelation.  We completed the folderbook activities for lessons 18, 19, and 20 in The Mystery of History Vol 1.

Science: This week we did a STEM challenge on flight from Tied 2 Teaching.  We read an article and answered questions and then followed the engineering process to build our own wooden airplanes out of toothpicks, popsicle sticks, and clothespins.

Art: We did lesson 3 in our new ARTistic Pursuits book Art of the Ancients.  The lesson was on making a clay slab.  Lily did an owl, Emmie made Flat Stanley, Christian made Harry Potter, and Anthony R2-D2.  When the clay dried they went back and used water color crayons to add color, but I did not go back and take photos of them.

We were supposed to start a review of Poetry for the Grammar Stage from Memoria Press last week, but when my package arrived from the post office it was open at the bottom and missing 2 books.  So we are waiting for them to resend the items to me.

Individual School (2nd-7th grade)

Emmie completed 3 lessons in Singapore Math.  We finished the last days assignment for week 2 in Homeschool Complete on maps.  She completed lesson 34 in All About Reading Level 2.

Lily completed 3 lessons in Math lessons for a Living Education.  She worked on IXL language arts 3 days (she likes this much better then her grammar book) and read Chapter 8 in Little House in the Big Woods.

Christian and Anthony completed 3 days of Rod and Staff Math books and watched the video for lesson 11 in SWI A and started writing their papers.  They also completed Step 12 in AAS Level 6.

I need to sit down with my high schoolers tomorrow and see how their work progressed this week.

Other Activities this Week

Monday the girls had gymnastics.

Tuesday Christian and Alex had trap practice.  Nicholas had his first high school soccer team.  After his needing to sit out last year because of the Tim Tebow Law(he could practice just not complete in any games), I was so glad he made the team this year as one of the goalies.  It was an away game (about 2 hours away) so we didn't go but they won 3-1. 

Wednesday was the dentist.  He nicely fixed Christians chipped cap from biting apart two of his Lego pieces (he has been told not to do this again!) while we were there so we wouldn't have to come all the way back at another time.  Then we had Kid's Club and Children's Choir.

Thursday Emmie had dance.  I ended up with a migraine and had to get her out early so I could go home and go to bed.

Friday we had to do the errands I couldn't do Thursday afternoon and Lily had piano.  Nick went to the Winter Jam concert.

Sunday after church we brought the younger 5 children home and then had to head back to town for an awards ceremony.  Nicholas was inducted into the National Honor Society.  He had to have higher then a 3.6 GPA, 3 recommendations from teachers, and fill out an application talking about his community service and leadership activities before being accepted.  We are proud of him for all of his hard work at home, school, and in the community!

I hope you had a great week!

Happy Homeschooling!
