Week 17

So this week we returned back to normal after an unexpected break. We worked on learning more about Peace, We learned math, spelling, writing, rhyming words for both kids, and we studied more on the War of 1812. We also had a birthday this week, so we took Wednesday off, and had Saturday school.

Tater had a spelling and math test this week. She finished Unit 2 of her math LifePac, and passed with a 99%. In Spelling, she also passed with a 99%. She is starting to learn about poetry in Language Arts, and she continued her American Girl Caroline series. We finished the week off by learning about the Star Spangled Banner, our Country's National Anthem.

Jr Bug learned the letter Q sound, and also practiced writing his numbers. We are going to continue practicing his number writing, and he also read the childhood favorite Goodnight Moon. A great book to learn about rhyming words and how we sequence going to bed.

Below are some pictures of our week:

This was school in bed. There are great joys when we can all climb in bed with Mommy and do school in bed.

The Big 5

This little boy turns 5 tomorrow. 5 years of laughter, joy, silliness and heartfelt hugs.

So in honor of him turning 5, here are 5 things I love about him.

1. His hugs are truly genuine. And they wrap you from the inside out.

2. He has a smile and a laugh that is so infectious.

3. His concern for others touch my soul.

4. He reminds me to be happy. All the time.

5. His love for his mommy, Jesus, and his sister are true, and holy, and beautiful.

Happy birthday son, Mommy loves you!!!

Week 16

     So this week we talked about our 5 Senses. We were supposed to be studying something else, but the beauty of homeschooling, is the fact that we can change one lesson for another, so this week, we learned about our senses, how they help us to perceive the world.
 
    We also continued our study in learning about PEACE. We've been having trouble in learning to be peaceful with everyone, so we are going to start again learning about PEACE next week.
   
    Jr Bug studied on the letter P, patterns, and same/difference math worksheets this week. Tater worked on counting money, and continued her review of addition/subtraction, counting, and greater than/less than. She also learned about paragraphs, and how to recognize a paragraph.

     Below are some pictures of our week:

Week 14

So this week we learned all about rainbows and about peace, Jack and the Beanstalk, and American Girl Caroline.

In our Fruit of the Spirit lessons we have moved to learning about peace. How Gd trades our fear for peace and how peace is eternal. W learned the acronym of FEAR...False Evidence Appearing Real.
We have moved to Caroline in our American Girl series...Tater made a boat to represent Caroline and her desire to sail her own ship.

Jr Bug is still working on reading comprehension. The book we worked on this week is Jack and the Beanstalk. He also worked on patterns and the letter N.

Both kids learned about rainbows. An interesting fact about rainbows is that the rainbow is an optical illusion. The closer you try to get to the rainbow the further away it gets from you! We also learned that the rainbow is actually not an arc, but more of a circle. We just cannot see the whole circle due to white light (the actual color of the rainbow) and the Earth.

Here are some pictures from our week:
