Bible: We did 3 lessons in the 10 Minute Bible Journey.
Read Aloud: We finished The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis ending our third trek into the Narnia series. We are finally halfway (Chapter 28) in DragonKnight.
History: We started on Week 4 of Pathway to Liberty. We read a couple of chapters on Henry Ford and in the Age of Extremes (not completely sure what I think of the author's perspective in this book) and watched a documentary on inventions on the 1930's.
Science: We completed the lessons on Leonardo da Vinci in Techie Homeschool Mom and made a parachute.
Poetry: We started working on The Hayloft by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Art: This week's lesson in ARTistic Pursuits was on Ancient Egyptian Murals. The children were supposed to tape their mural papers to the wall and use pastels to create a mural that told a story. Emmie though she would rather tape her paper to her tray and that was fine too. Somehow I did not get completed pictures of Lily and Anthony's work.
Individual School 2-7th
Emmie finished the unit on Bats in Homeschool Complete. When there are suggested picture books that we don't have, we have been watching them being read on Youtube. She enjoys this though some readers are better then others. She watched Stellaluna and Bats at the Beach. She completed 3 days of Math in Singapore Dimensions and one lesson in AAR Level 2. The soft g sound is giving her a bit of trouble.
Lily completed 3 lessons in MLFLE. She read chapter 10 of Little House in the Big Woods and worked on some of the pages for her binder. She also did 3 lessons in IXL.com language arts.
Christian and Anthony completed step 17 in AAS Level 6. They did 3 days of Rod and Staff math and watched the video for SWI A (I think it was lesson 13) and started working on their papers.
Other Activities this Week
Tuesday the girls had music lessons and then we headed to trap. It was a very long practice and we did not get home til 7:45. It was a beautiful summer like day.
Wednesday we had an appointment at the range because we were not going to be able to be there on Thursday for practice. Christian shot his best ever 18/25 and was really proud of that. Afterwards we met Chelsea and Liam at the park for lunch. It was another beautiful day and we had not been to the park to play in awhile.
Then we had Kid's Club and Children's Choir.

| Junior High youth helped stuff the eggs I needed for the upcoming Easter Egg hunt |

| Our lesson was about Paul, Aquila, and Pricilla so we made tents |
Thursday Emmie had dance. Lily and I went to walk on the Nature Trail. She found 3 painted rocks and this really weird thing.
After dance the girls and I went to Nick's soccer game. It got pretty cold by then. They won 6-1 and he got to play some at the end of the game.
Friday we finished making some modifications to the SeaPerch which we tested the next day in the bathtub and it actually made it much heavier and harder to swim through the water so the boys will be making some changes this week. We only have about a week and half before our final design needs to be submitted.
Trap Shoot was cancelled Saturday because of storms. We got a ton of rain, thunder, and wind but not as bad as they were predicting.
Sunday Emmie sang with Children's Choir in the Cantata. That afternoon we had a Cookout and Easter Egg Hunt at the church.
And we discovered some dwarf rabbit babies. I did not mention the last litter we had because they killed them. I told Nick we would try again and see what happened. She had them sometime yesterday morning. He found the nest in the nesting box after church. We did not want to disturb her so we do not even know how many are there, but saw at least three.
I hope you had a great week!
Happy Homeschooling!

Oh! I hope the rabbit babies live and thrive! I also hope the Sea Perch project kinks get worked out. Lily's face as she shows you what she found is priceless! :) Congrats to all of your cookout contestants both for prizes won and just for trying something new. Doing new things takes guts!
