Week 20

 

Even though schools were out a couple days again this week, we stayed on course and had a full week of school. We started our digital art project, which is pretty challenging for me to teach because I'm not super familiar with the program.  We also finished the latest history book (there are about 10 in the series) and we did a pop up history figure activity to sum that up.  Otherwise, the boys are doing great with their writing now that we're using IEW.  Samuel will be wrapping up his math level this week (he's finishing last year's before moving on).  We're keeping busy!!

Week 19

 

This week of school ended up being shorter than planned. We were hit with two big snowstorms and then a blizzard warning and then wind chill warnings. Lots of winter weather and snow days! I always take the 1st snow day other schools get because it’s so exciting! They ended up with a lot of days off and I couldn’t let the kids have that much time but we did cut down on work. It was exciting and these winter months can be rough in the homeschooling world! Next week looks quieter so we should get plenty of work in then.  

Week 18

 

We started back at school on Wednesday!  We had a full day and jumped right back into all the things.  The picture is of the boys copying the KWO (key word outline) we were working on for Writing. On Friday, we skipped our language arts because we had an extra history project.  We did an escape room that centered on Valley Forge.  It was info that we had read in our new read aloud (which is about James Madison) and read in our history lesson so it should be engrained in us now.  It was a nice start to just have a little bit of work before we start back with a full week on Monday!
