Homeschool Wrap Up Week 33

We are winding down our school year!  We have finished several things and will at good stopping points in other subjects very soon.  The boys have a research paper to finish and will finish reading Adam of the Road.  Emmie has a few more stories in AAR Level 3 and will finish A Mouse Called Wolf.  Lily has a book to finish in Language Arts (I forget the name of it.)  We have a few countries left in geography, 6 more Drive Thru History Episodes, and 3 more science chapters. 


We had a short week this week.  A beautiful day mid week sent us to the park to walk and on a picnic instead of doing school work.  And we took another day off to prepare for a camping trip!

Week 33 in our Homeschool

Bible: We read 2 chapters in 1st Corintians.

History: We watched two episodes of Drive Thru History The Gospels.

Science: We finished a chapter on Roots in Botany.

Latin: We completed lesson 4 in Visual Latin.

Emmie completed 2 lessons in AAR Level 3 and Math and started reading A Mouse Named Wolf.

Lily finished Nim's Island and completed 2 math lessons.

Anthony and Christian completed all of the warm up lessons for writing a research paper, read two chapters in Adam of the Road, completed Step 16 in AAS Level 7 and  did two math lessons.

Other Activities this Week

Monday Nick's graduation quilt arrived from my mom.


And we were delighted to have an opportunity to watch the baby birds in the nest above the tractor learn to fly!




Baby goats turned 6 weeks old.



Tuesday we picked up our tiny pigs, Scarlet and Hamlet.  Scarlet truly is tiny.  She squeaks instead of grunts and managed to escape the pen in 10 seconds flat causing us to make some adjustments to the pen.  So far they seem to be doing well.




Wednesday we had a wonderful time at the park and having lunch in Chelsea's backyard.  I left the children with her so the big boys and I could run to Walmart and pick up supplies for our camping trip!



Thursday we took care of the babies and that evening headed to Daisy State Park.  Our state parks have opened to self contained campers (bath houses are not open.)  Playgrounds and basketball courts and other similar things are still closed.  But camping is allowed.  We spent Thursday night through Sunday.  The weather was beautiful (except for a thunderstorm Thursday night.) We cooked everything on the fire.  Alex really enjoys cooking in Dutch oven and with cast iron, did some fishing, went for walks and hiked the nature trail, and played some board games.  It was a lovely week-end. Some other lakefront campgrounds are supposed to be opening in the next few weeks so we are hoping to get to go camping again soon.
















I hope you had a great week!

Happy Homeschooling!

Oh! What sweet babies everywhere--human and animal. :) I'm picturing that tiny pig escaping and causing a bit of mayhem, and I'm smiling broadly. That quilt is exquisite! I hope you pass that compliment on to your mom. And your camping looks so inviting. We haven't been camping in 4 years because our experience then was so traumatic for me with our newest 4 recently added to the family at that point, but everyone's older and wiser, and we have so much more experience, that I'm seriously considering trying again when campgrounds open up. I wish you all well as you wind up your school year!!!
