We are still plugging away with book work. The kids and I are so ready for a vacation!
Besides books we also made some chocolate chip cookies this week from a mix the elf had brought to us. The kids have been decorating for Christmas, watching movies and being as lazy as possible! I suppose that is the way it is suppose to be before a break!
That pretty much sums up this week. Kids are ready for Christmas and lazier days!
The week before Thanksgiving!!! It was a pretty full week even with pottery on a break. Skyler is still working away with her minecraft journal from The Thinking Tree. She is learning all about mining, rocks, minerals and anything else that we can throw in there to go along with it! She also started a new writing book again from The Thinking Tree.
1/4 of the way through the school year and I am still loving The Thinking Tree products!
I am fairly sure that she must have her cats nearby to do any school work. The little black kitten was suppose to be a "find a home for kitten" well she is of course in love so looks like he has a new human.
This a writing project in her minecraft journal. She is learning all the different types of salt mining.
We are just moving right along! This week was for sure a bit tense. Our three dogs were skunked and little Skyler Bay had some sinus issues so we had an unscheduled doc appt. I do not like those! It also took days of bathing the monsters to get rid of the smell before we could let them back in the house! We still managed school though. The kids are still moving on with their journals and their math. THE HATED MATH! The kids were so funny asking if they could have a fun movie day. They picked 10,000 BC for their fun movie. Funny kiddos.
During the movie Skyler got to color in her color book from The Thinking Tree so she was pretty happy. I didn't even have the heart to tell her she didn't have a movie that day!
Skyler is still enjoying the funschooling spelling by The Thinking tree of course! This was originally meant for next year but when she saw it she wanted it now so who am I to say no? That left me open to but another Thinking tree Spelling for her next year!!
She is also still moving on in her journal for two.
Fox is still going in his dyslexia games book as well as his journal. He has also passed another math lesson so YAY!!!
Damian is moving right along in his journal as well. School days have become smoother. They have become more enjoyable and I often hear Mom, did you know...? From each of the kids daily!
That pretty much wraps up our week. I hope everyone else has a great week as well! We are linking up with Homeschooling6 and her Thinking Tree posts!! Also visit her spelling sale from The Thinking Tree!
This Monday we had No art! We spent a big portion of the day putting together the Homeschool In The Woods Composers Lapbook. We also listened to music and of course did our math project.
For the project this week the kids designed logos, made menus and a graph page of the cafe they are running. They seemed to do really well! They enjoyed picking out where on the graph the items in their cafe would be as well as getting to design logos and uniforms.
For their music today we just listened to classical while we put the lapbook together. This thing took a lot of glue. About four glue sticks total. She was pretty pleased with the outcome.
It was a fun study all in all. It was a lot of information so I am sure they will look back to it as reference in years to come. That was pretty much it for our Monday!! Happy week everyone!!!!!!
