Homeschool Wrap Up Week 9

We had a short school week because Nick had to be back up at State Fair Wednesday and Thursday.  Chelsea came and stayed at the house with the rest of the children but I gave them all two days off.

Bible: We read 2 chapters in the Book of Luke.


History: We read lessons 52, 53, and 54 in The Mystery of History Vol. 1.

Art: Christian and Lily did a colored pencil drawing lesson from Creating a Masterpiece.

Music Appreciation: No lesson this week.

Science: No lesson this week for elementary.

Emmie: completed 2 days of Math from Elephant Learning. This was our last week to spend on that.  She worked on The Three Questions in literature and did Lesson 1 in AAR Level 3.

Lily completed 2 lessons in CTC Math on multiplication.  She also did 2 lessons in Lightning Lit on The Earth Dragon Awakes.

Christian and Anthony did two chapters in Robin Hood for literature.  They also did two lessons in math and Step 29 in AAS Level 6.  We started talking about persuasive essays in Jump In and will try to muddle through that while I decide if I need to change tactics for writing for Anthony.


Other Activities this Week

Monday the girls had gymnastics and I had a Moms Night Out Meeting.

Tuesday was parent/teacher conferences at the school for Nick.  We also had to order his cap and gown.

Wednesday Nick, Art , and I headed to Little Rock for the pig shows at State Fair.  Weighing, washing, feeding, and getting signed up for the shows took up most of the afternoon. He participated in Showmanship Wednesday evening.  We went out to eat with Samantha (our wonderful AG agent), her mom, son, niece and nephew and headed back to the hotel to get some sleep before an early start the next morning.

At home the children went to Kid's Club and Children's Choir.

Aunt Lily put Willow to sleep

Thursday morning was the Market Hog Show.  Nick did not place.  We were released at noon, loaded up the pig (she will go to the butcher some time next week) and made the long drive home.

Emmie had dance.


Friday morning we were at home cleaning and trying to catch up on some housework from being gone for two days. I got the very sad news that Samantha's mom had died suddenly the night before.  She was a sweet, sweet lady who was very good and encouraging to my children and everyone else she knew.  My heart breaks for her family and my thoughts and prayers are with them.

My girls had music lessons.


Saturday we spent a quiet day at home.  I helped Nick fill out his FAFSA and made a shirt for Willow.  The boys built a rabbit hutch for the bunny we bought last week-end.  We sold some chickens and enjoyed the beautiful weather outside.

I hope you had a great week!

Happy Homeschooling!
