We started school back up for real! Mondays are classes for the twins so our week is really 4 days long so we're making the most of it.
In science, we started a Kingdoms and Classifications unit. It's a complicated unit but it's been fun so far. The kids are classifying buttons here:
The twins went outside for their living vs. non-living organism hunt. The other 2 kids chose the inside option.
Art projects starting back up...
Spelling away:
Samuel is trying to warm up after "recess" time. He requested recess so I've had them go outside every day but he was freezing!!! Haha!
Nathan reading the book Aunt Andrea got him. He said "I got this for my birthday so I HAVE to read it."
Our new Bible unit is how to study the Bible so everyone had to get their Bible out. We had enough to go around and the kids seemed to enjoy the 1st lesson of finding the Table of Contents. :)
A review in history means we play the game that came with it. One of the lessons this week assigned the kids a name (they each had 3 names, actually) and we found out what happened to that person after signing the Declaration of Independence. Most were not happy endings!
Friday is science for the twins because the lessons have an extension for high school kids. They had to research some vocab and then list the complete taxonomy of a chosen animal. Hunter chose a frogfish and Lily chose a black widow spider. I don't know why--I would've chosen a cat! Ha!
This weekened, we had our 1st snowfall since before Thanksgiving!! It was awesome.
