Last Week of School

Our last week of school!!  Now that it is over, the year seemed to fly by!!  This week, the kids worked solely on typing because the younger two had finished their handwriting books.  The twins had finished their books much earlier in the year but they won't be doing any more handwriting books.

 We had finished our History curriculum and I didn't schedule any art/Bible/PE this week so it was mainly science and a read aloud for our morning work.  In science, the kids worked on finishing up their cover page, report and bibliography.  They then presented their report to everyone else.  They hate doing this, even though it's just us.  

Samuel's report was on reindeer.

Lily's report was on scarabs.

Nathan's report was on pterodactyls.

Hunter's report was on wolves.

It's hard to believe these two are sophomores now.  I think they'll find next year a lot busier but this was a good year to figure out homeschooling high school!

I gave all the kids a book for summer reading.  Nathan got started right away on his!

Happy Summer Break!

Week 37

We finished our Walt Disney unit with a couple fun activities.  The kids all had to create their own character with strengths, weaknesses, a foe, setting, etc.  I took notes so I'd remember who created what!  

Samuel created "Mr. Derp" with a weakness of social phobia.  

Nathan created "Butter Man" with a sidekick named "Salt Man" and an enemy named "Container Man".  

Lily created "The Lamp" with a partner named "Fiona Flashlight" and a foe named "Lassie Lightning".  

Hunter's character was all very secret-spy with an unknown name and location.  

Our last activity was to watch Snow White because we learned about how important that movie was to Walt Disney. 

We ended our week with a field trip to a buffalo farm.  The owners were very knowledgeable and the buffalo were eager to be fed!!

One more week!!

Week 36

We had another pretty full week of school.  

Nathan working on time:

Nathan ended up with a sick day this week.  He had a fever and a cough but bounced back pretty quickly.

Handwriting with nerf guns:

Morning TV is why these two get up most mornings...ha!

Mother's Day!  Such a fun day every year!!

2 more weeks of school.  We are busy finishing things up and getting ready for summer fun!

Week 35

This week started off with No School!!  Brian had his birthday and took off work so we spent the day with him.  

We had school the rest of the week, however, Thursday was a shortened day.  Our supervising teacher visited and then we did the homeschool jump again.  Otherwise, we got lots done and yet I have almost no pics.  The only ones I got were of art.  We watched a youtube how to draw video.  Samuel doesn't have a picture because he crossed his out.

Hunter's:

Lily's:

I'll try to take more pictures to remember what we're doing this week.  This is a full week of school and I am hoping it's productive.  We're nearing the end!
