Preparing for week 4

I can't believe it, we are getting ready to start week 4. A whole month of school. Wow time goes by quickly.  So, for this week, we are changing things up a bit. We are going to have a field trip to the lake, a spelling test, and some changes in math and in language arts.

We are still working on Bible memorization. Tater is doing Romans 12:1-5 and Jr Bug is working on 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. Lady Bug will join him on learning these verses.

One of the reasons why I love homeschooling is because we can switch up lessons at the last minute. We were going to study the brain in science, but because of the heat wave and the end of summer drawing nearer we are going to do a study of lakes and on Friday we will be going to the lake and playing in the water.

In math, we are continuing our learning of addition, this week we are going to work with math manipulatives. So addition should be a bit more fun. Starting easy and slow.

Language arts is still focusing on nouns, but we are doing worksheets and sentences about nouns. Hoping that Tater really has a grasp on this "idea" of what nouns are. We will see.

In social studies, we are going to look at what needs and wants are. What is a need? What is a want? How do we get our needs and wants? And what exactly are goods and services? We are also going to talk about different jobs and what do those jobs mean.

Spelling Test this week. This is our first ever spelling test. I'm excited and nervous for her. I have worked really hard to plan her test and for her to practice her spelling words. We may or may not continue spelling test after this week.

Jr Bug and Lady Bug are going to start working together on schooling. I am going to be helping Lady Bug get ready for Kindergarten and Jr Bug is going to benefit from this. So I hope we will have fun with this.

Stay tuned for more adventures from The Vine Academy
