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!!

Week 5

A full week of school this week!  We've enjoyed doing some seasonal art projects just for fun.  Otherwise, we've been busy with all the things!  We haven't really changed anything from the beginning so that is a good sign.  October will be a busy month with 2 field trips and an outside art class starting so it's nice to have a solid week of work while we can!

 

Week 4

This week was a very short one with only 2 full days of school and one half day.  I had a colonoscopy scheduled so we took one day for prep and one day for the procedure off.  They didn’t care at all to miss 2 days!  Haha.  They had a breakfast assignment for culinary lab.  It was supposed to involve avocados but they didn’t ripen in time.  We finished up Greek history, started a new science lesson on the units astronomers use to measure distances, and worked on a new outline for writing. I’m looking forward to a full week of work next week!

 

Week 3

 I guess I didn't get many pictures this week.  We use sharpies and watercolor to make folk art trees.  Our culinary lab was about recording how many of each food group we ate the previous day.  I don't know if they cared about their low veggie intake or not.  We watched a video about Greek mythology and studied the history of astronomy.  It was a full week!  Nathan had his first math quiz and got 100.  They both had a grammar test and that was ok but more practice is needed!  It was a busy week!

Week 2

This was a short week of school but we accomplished plenty!  We are sticking with our read aloud because the reviews are good but I keep waiting for it to get interesting.  The boys made cookies for Culinary Lab and they were very good.  In art, we made a color wheel using fruit, which they drew and cut out.  Nathan enjoyed researching random fruits for his.  We watched a quick video on black holes for science.  The topic is definitely keeping Samuel engaged, which isn't always easy!

 

First Week!

We started school on Monday!  We had a very easy day just going through what we are using this year for school and going through the schedule.  We had lunch out and went swimming because it was extremely hot.  We are still trying out our read aloud--it seems a little uninteresting thus far.  I tried out our art project ahead of time so I was all set but we couldn't get the transfer to work when it was time.  Oh well!  Otherwise, things are going well for this first week.
