Week 5

This week we had a few days of school and then took a fall break. Nathan stayed with my parents while Brian and I traveled to Wisconsin . It was a fun time and a nice break. Back to school on Monday!! 

Week 4

This week, we tested different kitchen items for amylose using iodine. It was a fun and successful lab! 

Nathan finished his first literature unit and I think it’s still his least favorite subject! I am enjoying the curriculum so I hope he likes it more as we keep going! 

 

Week 3

This week, our science lab had us roasting marshmallows as an example of carbon. Nathan also discovered that the marshmallows tasted like the candle. Haha! He also started his art project, which will eventually be a sailboat. It was a good week and we got a lot done!

 

Week 2

 Sadly, no pictures this week. It was a short week so we crammed as much in as possible. Science was a fun one this week with the periodic table of elements. The text explained things so clearly—it’s a good fit! Nathan doesn’t seem to love his literature—I’m not sure if it’s the Sherlock story or the questions involved. Otherwise, it’s going well—a good start!
