Week 14

We had 2 days of school this week so it was pretty easy. We reached a stopping point in our read aloud because we’re starting a Christmas book next week! The boys made grilled cheese and soup for their culinary lab under Brian’s supervision. We played Middle Ages bingo and did a turkey escape room for math so we had a fun break from the usual! Back to regular subjects Monday for 3 weeks until Christmas break!

 

Week 13

The boys wrapped up their art class this week so we celebrated with Cold Stone.  Neither one liked it that much so I guess we won't do that again!  Ha!

We also got the trees decorated this week!  Just the boys wanted to help but I'm glad for any help.  It's a big job!

We were unable to complete our science activity this week because it required sun.  We are moving on to the inner planets and worked on creating our own mnemonic to remember the names.  We also learned about life in the Middle Ages and they wrote a paper on spacesuits.  It was a productive week!

 

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!
