A Peek At Our Week! Week 5 2016 2017

Some fun-schooling moments this week!! Skyler as usual is still going through her cats. We found this little box and knew that it was a perfect little hideaway for Stella Luna. I am guessing she agrees!

This is one of the cat theme art projects I snagged for her. It is called foil art. She had tons of fun with it and I think it came out great.

Skyler has 3 cats but Stella is the youngest and by far the most playful. She is using the toy to try and get the cat to follow her. Stella was having none of that.

She adores drawing time. This day she chose to draw a cover to one of the books she is enjoying.

Fox didn't have any projects this week. We had to order the lego pieces to complete the projects in his book so we are just waiting on those at this point. All though next week we move into electricity. FUN FUN!!

I keep saying one day he will keep a shirt on but I have no idea when that one day will be.

In Damians science this week he made a sour dough starter and some apple chips! The starter smells bad, very bad but apparently this is normal.

We wrapped up our week with a co-op day! They learned all about Davey Crockett and Daniel Boone. They enjoyed beef jerky and shooting BB guns at targets!

Hope everyone else had a great week!!!!

Peek At Our Week!! Week 11 Semester 2

The week was busy and full as usual! Damian has finally moved into another math book, Fox and Skyler both have passed lessons in theirs and we had our last week of co-op. No pottery this week that was a nice little afternoon off! We also went to learn about bats at the library! We love bats, this is the second field trip this year that has had to do with bats! 

We do school all over the house!! Damian is still working in his new journal, review to come soon I hope, time permitting that is. 

Skyler is still working in her journal for 2 by The Thinking Tree. She has also doing her creative writing in her writing research book also by The Thinking Tree (My Review). It is animal based so you know it must have been made for her.

We also watch cats play when we are bored LOL. 

Forgive the mess but my children are busy making memories. We live here it is not perfect all the time. I aim for empty trash, washed laundry and happy kids on most days! On to our field trip. BATS BATS BATS did I mention we love bats!!!

Fossils are always cool.

Blurry pic but this little guy is just heart stealing. Bats are amazing creatures so if you have issues with them take some time to research them. They are also more closely related to humans than rats, who they have nothing genetic wise in common with. So calling them rats with wings is fairly uneducated!!

For co-op we had homework! We had to build a machine to squeeze toothpaste out of the tube. This is what my very un creative kiddos came up with and yes I am proud. Fox is my builder so this was a challenge for them.

GOOD JOB!!!!!

For co-op this week it was all about electricity. All of the activities we did plus more are posted on the amazing Miss. Shannons site.  

Look at Damian HE IS LAUGHING!!!

We learned about static electricity what fun! The little girl above really enjoyed her self!

Played a game about the flow of electricity when we flip the light switches. 

We lit lights with a battery and played with some snap circuits. 

It was the last co-op class. That was kinda sad cause we had so much fun. I loved all the new moms I met and cannot wait to see them all again.

To finish up our week Fox and Skyler made Miss. Shannons Egyptian Bread. We learned this in another co-op run by Shannon a few years ago and it is a favorite for Fox. He also completely adores Shannon so that is why it is called her bread not just bread!

Linking Up with Homeschooling 6 for the Thinking Tree posts! 

Peek At Our week!!! Week 9 semester 2

Well we had a busy week! School, co-op, pottery, swap day and I got to do a Thinking Tree book give-away! Very Full Fun Week. We also had some accidental science! 

Fox was riding his bike on the road and mistakenly ran over a snake. My kids are big animal lovers he felt really bad about this. He was really wondering though why there was such a huge middle on the snake. So we decided to dissect it and see what we found. 

It was pretty gross but pretty cool all at the same time!

This week we did school of course! Skyler has moved into another dyslexics book! YAY Skyler. They are all still moving along in math. Math progress is slow progress here no lie. In my opinion any progress it awesome and as long as we move forward I don't complain at the speed. 

For co-op this week we learned about wheels and axles.  As usual this awesome momma has her lesson plans shared online! The waterwheel was an awesome activity!!

At co-op I also got to give-away some Thinking Tree Books!!! That was such fun. On Friday it was Homeschool Swap Day so I was able to pass along even more books!! 

In pottery this week Skyler has started making a bowl. This bowl is a bit involved. It will had a pedestal and a rim. I am so excited to see when it is finished up! My wonderful friend Amanda brought baby bunnies, I mean really baby bunnies!! Seems her pet rabbit threw her babies out and refuses to care for them. So they are going to give it a try to care for them.

Skyler finished up her week at Home Depot building an angry birds bird house!!!

Well that was our week! I hope everyone else had a great week as well!!!! Linking up with homeschooling6 this week.
