Week 16

I only took 1 picture last week!  I guess that goes to show our busyness.  We worked hard to finish up chapters, letters, activities, etc. so we could start Christmas-based work this week.  We're still reading our read aloud and Lily is still finishing up her book but, otherwise, we are at a good stopping point!  It's so nice to wind down for Christmas break!!

Week 15

We started our week back at school with a field trip.  We rode the city bus to the ground transportation center and then walked to the library.  Waiting for the bus was a cold experience!!  Otherwise, the kids seemed to enjoy it (Samuel didn't care for the ride but he was still coughing so I think that was the issue.).


At the library...


 Nathan studied U for Us, which included a study on senses.  This day he was supposed to feel mystery objects but his brothers did it for him--he was not into it!!  :)

He's learning to read but he doesn't seem to enjoy it yet!

Twice this week, he was asleep by the time the school day was over.  He missed our read aloud both days.  We are loving this book but it's pretty sad (A Family Apart).

Samuel started some Explode the Code online using the ipad.  He didn't care to be in another picture. 

His math involved the scale this week and he really enjoyed that!

 Science involved learning about the food pyramid, which I'm not sure is even a thing anymore?!  But we filled in the info about the different food groups, anyway.

The kids filled their sticker charts and got their prize again!


The weekend was time for Christmas cookie baking!





One more week of regular school, one week of Christmas based school and then it's Christmas break!!
