Week 4

 We were able to get more work done this week, which was a relief!  Nathan finished up S for Sun and we did a lot of fun activities!

Matching capital and lowercase letters:

A homemade sundial, which was a huge hit with all the kids!!

Recognizing that when it's daytime on our side of the world, it's nighttime on the other side.

Building with Cuisenaire rods:

We had our 1st music lesson for Kindergarten, which is really just exposure to classical music.  It was a catchy tune and everyone had fun dancing to it.  :)

Hard to see but this was free time after morning lessons but all the boys were still building with geoboards from Samuel's math time:

Lily started a unit study on the Iowa State Fair at the homeschool building so we went out to lunch to celebrate.

On Wednesday, we were home all day and night for once so we decided it was a pajama day.  The older boys are not into wearing pajamas all day but this little guy got into the spirit!!  :)

Lily finished her biography she had been reading so next up is the adventure genre.  To kick it off, she had a scavenger hunt to find her book.  

Building wigwams for history:

These are the Jesus is the Light window posters we made for Bible.  This was a messy craft but they seemed to enjoy it.  

Finally, we had some science fun this week!  Samuel and Hunter ran around the room shaking an egg in a container, which of course broke the egg.  Lily and Nathan ran around shaking an egg in a container filled with water and the egg did not break!  This showed the importance of the fluid between our skull and brain.  Nathan was pretty upset his egg didn't break so I dumped the water out of his so he could enjoy breaking an egg.  

Next week is super busy again but things should start slowing down soon!!
