Week 12

This week was a birthday week!  This is the 1st time we have had school on a birthday because the twins both worked all day.  They are growing up!  We celebrated at Red Robin and Hunter's manager sent a cake home with him.  It was a fun night!

For school, the boys finally got their culinary lab done, which was making mac and cheese.  It was really good!!  Otherwise, we started the middle ages in history and are still finishing up our study of the sun.  I was counting the number of days until Christmas break and it's coming up fast!!  We'll see what all we can accomplish before that!

The boys watched the Mike Tyson boxing match on Friday night but had to use the iPad because of a Netflix issue on our TV halfway through.  It was funny to see them all gathered around the small screen.  

Week 11

This week, the boys had art class on Monday. We had to take our cat to the vet Tuesday so that was quite the excitement! We also got our trees up but it’ll be another week or so before they’re decorated. School is pretty much the same old thing. I’m trying to keep us on track to make a dent in our progress before the holiday break!

 

Week 10

 

We had a busy week!  On Monday, we had Harry Potter orchestra field trip and the boys started an art class.  On Tuesday, they practiced knife skills by slicing up peppers and onions for fajitas.  Thursday was Halloween!  We had a short day Friday to recover from the week.  :) Of course we did get some normal schoolwork done through the week, as well!

Week 9

This week, we finished reading about the older and current models of the solar system and did a quick sticker model.  We have a more intensive model we'll be working on throughout the year, though!  We also tried astronaut food and there were divided opinions.  We met our supervising teacher and that was actually a fun visit!  We finished our read aloud (finally, it was a bore) and started the next one.  The new one is about a group of boys who discover a bomb was accidentally dropped into a lake so from the onset, it's a little more interesting.  We ended our week with pumpkin carving!  It's always fun to see the creations.  

 

Week 8

No pictures of school this week because it was an extremely busy week with appointments. The boys got the main things done but there was no time for extras. We’re also attempting to see the visible comet but have not had luck yet! Next week, we will meet our supervising teacher and have more time to get everything done!

 

Week 7

This week was busy with dentist appointments but we got work done, too.  The only pictures I got were of the Northern lights.  We called it a field trip.  It was pretty exciting for us!! Otherwise, school as usual.  There was a complaint about "all the work" assigned this week but I assured them that they would survive.

 

Week 6

 

We had school pictures on Monday and a field trip on Thursday this week! This was our 13th trip to Bloomsbury with the homeschool group and it’s not as fun for their age but it’s tradition! We did manage to get normal schoolwork done this week, as well!!
