I slept in till 7:30 today. I was tired from getting to bed late last night. Connor was up at 7:20. He was tired from staying up late, too.

The boys all did their morning routines. I cleared the table from dinner. Breakfast today was a box of chocolate doughnuts for the boys and Veggie breakfast Sausage for me. And a soft Pretzel.

I am babysitting a little boy this morning. My boys played with him for a little bit, then we did a little school.

We started with Brain Gym and then I read Jesus Freaks. This is Ki's favorite book. It is about Martyrs who were willing to die for the sake of Christ.

Then they played a little with Lance.

Then I read Story of the world. We have moved from the Fertile Cresent to the Indus Valley.

After another little break  to play with Lance, we did our Spelling. The older two do a spelling program called 'sequential spelling'. Ki does word Cards. I set Ki up to use the salt tray to spell 10 of his words from his word cards while I did sequential spelling with the other two. I gave Ki my camera and told him to take a picture of each word he spelled. Ya gotta love technology! Digital cameras are GREAT. This ensured he stuck to the task.

If you click to watch this video you will see how he trades doing things left and right handed and he does onoe of his little OCD 'touches' on the side of the pan. He had to touch everything. When he gets a fork from the drawer he stops to tap the drawer egde. He taps the bowl he serves his food up from at dinner. Sometimes he'll stoop down all the sudden and tap the floor with his palms.

Ki Spelling in Salt

I'll explain our sequential Spelling. The words are al built on a base word. In the very beginning, the first word is 'IN"… and a few others of the first week are 'pin', 'sin' 'spin'… then onto spins, sinner, pinned, winning… There is a test every day and they learn how to add suffixes and figure out how to change 'in' to 'beginner' in about 10 days. I do it a little differently than the books says now. I choose 3 spelling families and ad a couple other words they need to work on. (Connor just can't get 'shouldn't' and 'doesn't'…). They have their tests Monday through Thursday. On Friday we have a memory test. I list the 3 families on the board and they have to remember as many words as they can from the week. this week our spelling families are:

 "-ay" with words like Today, displaying, replaying (and all the days of the week)

"-oad" with words like railroading, overloaded, broadening…..

"o[b/d]e" (long /o/ made with the V/C/V rule. With words like 'erodes', disrobed, globally, exploding.

Some of our 'extras' this week are : Annoy (-ed, -ing,), destroy (-er, ed, ing), Hola, Shouldn't, Doesn't.

Then I went to coffee and left them with DICE MATH and reading time.

What a good school day! Momday's are short on the INHOME part. The boys have classes at 1:30, so we leave at 1:10. All our in the house school is done in the morning.

We started school at 9. We stared with Brain Gym.  We did Jumping Jacks then they all did Criss Cross Marches.

CLINK TO SEE VIDEO

always WATER inbetween activities:

We ended with Hook Ups.

READING. I read from our Blue Bible Book.(Saul and Jonathon and Philistines on the cliff)

then from Story of the World: (Gilgamesh and Shamshi-Adad)

Then a break while I got ready for Spelling. Ki did his Word of the week. He chose 'gato'. (Spanish for cat).

He practiced writing on his Basketball Dry Erase board, made letters to spell his word out of clay and used texture letter tiles to spell his word and did a crayon rubbing.

.

ThenI read from WAR STORIES and we studied our map and noted the differences between preWW1 map and today's world map.

That was it... the rest of day is classes... and we may go see Manuel.

We started out school day with reading out of Ki's favorite book- JESUS FREAKS! It is amazing how much he loves this book. He just SOAKS up the stories of martyrs and what God has done for them. He has the most solemn, serious, thoughtful look to him as he listens and thinks deeply about what he is hearing. Today we read a bit about communism and Joseph Stalin.

We will go over some government terms later today.

While I read, Gavin sat and drew. Connor bounced and rolled all over. Ki sat in the beanbag and listened intently. When Gavin sits and listens and looks like he is paying attention while I read, the information gets all mixed up in his head and he learns next to nothing. When he sits and draws and looks like he is off in some other galaxy while I read, all the information finds where it needs to go and he has much better comprehension of what I read. When Connor rolls and bounces and flips while I read to him he soaks it all up and files it away for easy retrieval. When he sits nice and pretty at the table and is still and quiet while he listens, then he doesn't get much at all from what I read.

Ki likes to lay down & close his eyes or stare off into space while he listens. Sometimes he draws.

Just goes to show- not all kids really hear when they sit still and listen. In a classroom of kids sitting quietly and listening, how many really HEAR what is being said and understand what is being taught? Outward appearances can be deceptive.

This is an unscheduled week.

I decided on Monday it would be this type of week. Where we just do school as we get to it. I assign things in the morning and make things up on the fly. We do spelling daily, but today the older two wrote a story (using their spelling words) and Ki used beads to form letters to make his words. Yesterday he made his spelling words out of clay.

I assigned Ki the Leap Pad for school today. 4th grade History, The Human Body (or amazing animals), Bible Stories, Math and told him to choose one other.

Connor wants to do Leap Pad too, so they will take turns. And Connor is doing Math Detective.

Gavin is going through his missed math problems from last week, finding the chapter they came from and then doing the practice problems from those  chapters. He is also typing his game story.

So, even though it is unscheduled, it is planned. It is like orgnized chaos.

Even when I am unstrcutured,  I am still planned and organized...LOL. How sad is that?

November 9, 2006

Thursday

We read out of the Jesus Freaks book today and then read some scripture about God never leaving us and always taking care of us. Then we had our morning prayer.

Ki went to the couch to use the Leap Pad while I did spelling with Gavin and Connor. Today I am giving them 2 spelling words and they made sentences.

Then I did Brain Gym with just Ki as his brothers read their Bible Devotion books.

We did Cris-Crosses, water, Body Scales, hook-Up, water, elephant 8s.

Ki’s spelling went poorly again. I realized this spelling program is not working for him. So we are going back to last years spelling program. It worked.

Connor read his Going Places story while I went over a LOT of missed problems in math with Gavin.

If Gavin doesn’t understand a problem, instead of asking for help or reading the chapter it is from, he just writes down anything, just makes a completely wild guess.

He is such a smart kid. He only has to glance through the chapter and can whip out all the right answers. He probably wastes a LOT more time thinking up his guess than he would to just skim back through the chapter.  He’s that kind of kid. Waste more time trying to figure out shortcuts… if he’d just do things the right way he’d save a lot of time…

Connor whizzed right through his math today.

Gavin loves his Science this month. He does independent studies I pull together online with lots of links to fun videos and interactive sites. He is studying cells and thoroughly enjoying it.

After the boys’ art class I took them to SICSA to see the kitties. They just love kitties.

Today we tried a new way to do spelling tests. Theidea came from the boys' piano teacher (he also teaches creative writing). He was commenting that when he was abut Gavin's age, his teacher gave them a list of words on Monday and for the Friday tests she told them to get out a piece of paper and write them all down. So they had to memorize all the words on the list andhow to spell them. Not just know how to spell a word that is called out.

We didn't quite do that. Here is what we did.

I called out a base word and they wrote the base word and all the other spellings we have done this week.  We have daily spelling tests here. We use word families and learn spelling rules for different suffixes. So we had 'ATE' as one of the base words. and the words with this week were ate, create, creating, creator, created, creation, cremate, cremation, cremating, cremate.

We had a couple other base words. We do not do every word every day. We may do "create, cremating, creation" one day and "creator, cremate, creating" another. We have 15 words a day , but about 30 words for the whole week.

after the test I wrote all the words on the board. Then they added up points. They received 4 points for each word they remembered AND spelled correctly-- 2 points for each word they remembered but misspelled and they were allowed to try others words in the family (like 'creationist') and think of words from previous weeks. Those were 2 points each. Our bonus word this week was 'congratulations'. It was worth 8 points.

They like the math puzzler in this style of grading.  I think we will do our Friday spelling like this from now on.

It's me.

I missed a couple days of journalling.

I had headaches for over a week. The last 4 or 5 day I was dealing with migraines. I went to the doctor and he gave me some Fioricet and some new meds to try. The Fioricet is helping. I just have a mild, dull headache (the kind I have most days of my life anyway).

I have felt like a bad homeschool mom. I have just been assigning schol work with very little teacher participitation. I do spelling with them and help with math.. except for gavin he is too advanced for myhelp and my brain doesn;t explain math in a way he understands anyway. But he did ask me to do the teaching part out of the Math Lesson book with him. well, I volunteered (must have been the migraine) and he accepted. usualy he says 'no thanks, I can figure it out."

Ki is advancing in his spelling....... slow and steady... he will be the turtle crossing the finish line.I have been doing made up lessons that a mixture of his past lessons while slowly adding lesson 9. Today he was ready for JUST lesson nine. But I didn;t do all of lessons nine.  It goes like this...

Lessons 1-5 deal with the 'in' word family...in. pin, thinner, Mr. Skinner, spinning...

Lesson 5 introduces words like 'we', 'be'

Lesson 6 introduces the 'ee' family. bees, treed, fleeing, disagreed.. (all while doing the 'in' family, too.

Lesson 9 switches. NO MORE 'in' or 'ee', but now it is the 'up'  family (up, cup, puppy, upper.......) and the 'oo' family (good, moody, stood"..AND the 'out' family (shout, outing, pouted).

Well, he told me he didn't feel comfortable with the 'ee' family yet and I knew he wasn't ready for THREE new word families. So we kinda did the 'ee' and the 'up' with a little 'in' review the past 3 days. Today was the  Lesson 9, but without the 'out' family.

I love homeschooling. I love slowling down and speeding up when my kids need it.

I guess the slow, headache weeks are o.k.

The older two are doing a computer CD for Latin Word Roots. I need to write a couple class lessons to go with that.

Gavin is moving along well in his independant science study, so I need to write some sort of lesson or test to see if he is retaining knowlegde.

Connor is on thelast page of his Cat Warrior Book. Brian will be picking up the second in the series for him. Hopefully today.

Connor wil also be working on his science experiment today. He is going to make his own sedimentary rocks.

That's about it for now.

October 25, 2006

Wednesday

Winnie the Pooh read aloud.

Ki and I did his spelling lesson while Connor played Math Detective. I told Ki we were doing a new base word. He got upset and said he can’t do 3 base spelling. (The last two weeks we did words with ‘in’ and words with ‘ee’ (free, agree, bee). I told him we were not doing those any longer. He didn’t like that option either, He said he just started the ‘ee’ words a couple days ago and wasn’t ready to be done with them. So today we are doing the ‘ee’ words and the ‘up’ words instead of making the total switch to ‘up’ and ‘out’ words.  He did pretty well. He still has trouble with ‘ing’. He knows he needs to add a suffix, but is never sure if it is ‘ed’, ‘er’, ‘ing’ or ‘y’  So we did lots of ‘ing’ words today. Changing flee to fleeing, agree to agreeing, sin to sinning, etc. I do not think he is ready to move completely to this next set of  words. I will custom tailor a list for him until he is ready to move on.

Ki then wrote some sentences while Connor read his Cat Warrior book and Gavin typed out his game instructions.

After the rest of school, the boys worked on their Battle Armor costumes.

October 24, 2006

TUESDAY-

We are still reading Winnie The Pooh in the mornings. Well, I read, they listen and draw pictures.

After Morning Story time we did our Brain Gym activities.

WATER

Marching in Figure 8s

Body Scales

WATER

CrisCrosses and Twisters

Elephant 8s

WATER

HOOK UPS

SESSION 1- G&C Spelling (alphabet 8, lazy 8, double doodles) While Ki did Explode the Code. I gave Gavin and Connor homework.

SESSION 2- Ki had his spelling test (alphabet 8, lazy 8, double doodles) while C&G  read their devotional books. Ki had homework, too.  While Ki was doing his warm ups, I flipped the laundry. I gave Ki a spelling lesson along with his test. He keeps forgetting when you change a verb to past,.. the swim  to swimming or ‘run to running’  or spin to spinning’ it is always the same…. ING….. he sometimes does ING and sometimes does IN. He is trying to sound it out each time, instead of just know it is always ING as a rule. His brain was really tired- he said. So I told him to take big drink of water and take a break. I am trying to teach them that when their brain is tired, the first thing they need to do is take a big drink of water.

BREAKTIME

SESSION 3- MATH- Connor did a Saxon lesson with me (finished on his own), Ki did Miquon and a worksheet, Gavin played 3 cases in Math Detective.

Assigned work for my alone time-

I had my coffee break today. I left the boys with a good list, but didn’t check absolutely everything, and some things were not working )LeapPad needed batteries, and Gavin needed the printer hooked up )- so the list couldn’t be done as specified which has me in a bad mood. Plus I colored my hair a different color and do not like it.

I do NOT do well with changes. Changes in plans, changes in constants (like hair color). Not a good thing.

So I am going to go on a cleaning binge. That'll help things. And some good vacuuming will help too.

And then after my cleaning I'll go through everything (batteries, printer, etc) and give my boys a list of homework for tonight.

I hate when plans go awry. Askew. Amiss. 

BUT there were some great clearance sales at the store. I love when I can get new clothes at Thrift Store prices

October 23, 2006

We read Winnie-The-Pooh this morning. Then we did stretches and water drinking. Then it was Spelling Test Time.

K had a lot of trouble with his spelling today. I knew he probably would. Not only did he have trouble spelling, but he had trouble with his dyspraxia (muscle fatigue and jerky muscle movement). I had a feeling he would have trouble with the spelling because he did not have spelling lessons on Saturday or Sunday- he has a short term memory type thing. He can not remember things like this if he goes a couple days without doing them (and for things he has been doing and practicing for awhile, he can only go a couple weeks-like for vacation- which is why we do yr round school). I wondered about the SID/Dyspraxia because I let him have a couple things with artificial colors over the weekend. (He is also having trouble with extreme oversensitivity to sounds and smells today)  So, I am considering having him doing spelling on both Saturday and Sunday as well.  Now, to decide if I should have the other two have Sat/Sun schoolwork too…. I’d hate to just tell Ki that he is the only one that is required to do spelling 7 days a week.

Ki actually did start to do pretty good on the last 3 words. If he is back to being the great speller tomorrow, then I might just let it go and just keep Mondays as more of a review day.

After that we went for a walk and found crickets on a tree. They looked like they were hibernating or something. They were squooshed into the folds of the bark. Connor plucked 4 of them off the tree and gave them to his cat. Soksey enjoyed eating them.

Then we had game time. Today we played “State the Facts”. It’s a US Geography Game. You move your piece across the states and answer questions and collect souvenir cards. Connor actually won. (I had limitations because I knew almost all the answers.)  All the boys did really well and seemed to have fun.

Next was lunch.

After lunch was some house cleaning and then Gavin’s Computer class.

Connor, Ki and I went to Boonshoft Museum while Gavin had his class. Now they are watching an old black and white film on WW2.

Saturday. Gaming Day in our house. I am a Gaming Mom. I drive my little green mini van to the hobby shop. Three boys spill out with tackle boxes full of Mechs and dice and measuring tapes and calcuators. They have soome extra money got snacks and drinks. We pack some snacks and often have lunch at Subway. Water Bottles. Those are always a good thing to have, too. I forgot the waterbottles today. I was a Bad Gaming Mom. I'll make up for it next week.

Ki brought his Froggy Escape game to show Ron (the store manager). Ron is always so great with my boys. He is always so encouraging to their ideas. He played Ki's game and told Ki he had a good game and Ki should keep working on it. (like make real game peices and tokens for it). He thanked Ki for letting him play.

it is a pretty good game actually.

I told Ron that I am a Demonstrator for Looney Labs now and he said he'd like for me to do a demo in 2 weeks. So, that'll be fun.

Ki and I came home for dinner. As we were waiting for Brian to be ready for dinner, a chipmunk comes tearing out from under the file cabinet and scurrying as fast as he can all over the place. Soksey takes off helter skelter after the chipmunk. Ki starts shouting and running after Soksey. Brian is running all over with a shoe box, trying to catch the chipmunk.

He finally gets the chipmunk outside, but doesn't close the garage door. So 10 minutes later Soksey crawls through the kitty door with another chipmunk in his mouth. He trots over to Ki and drops it on the floor. It livens up and takes off slipping and slippin on the woodfloor with Soksey and Ki in pursuit. Brian had the shoebox once again. This poor terrorized chipmunk was being chased all over. he ran to the boys' room and was going back and forth from the bed to the behind their drawers. Though Brian was sitting by the door with a large box in the way, the chipmunk still escapes down the hall to our bedroom. Brian moves things around to get it. It runs out to the back room and hides under the hutch. it finally was chased out the back door.

That's about it for the day.

Ki asked to do an independent study like his brothers. Connor is doing cats and almost all of Gavin’s school is independent studies.

Ki asked to do frogs. So I went to www.enchatnedlearning.com and we looked up frogs. I showed him how to save and print pages. He printed off a couple things to color and write while I gave a spelling test to his brothers. Then I found a frog Book at www.enchatnedlearning.com  for him. I also found a few other pages to print. He likes doing printed pages. He has a notebook for all of his froggy pages. Ki then made up a frog game. It’s called Froggy Escape. He has a playing board covered in squares. The squares are red, blue, and yellow. He has little frogs that you move (red, blue, and yellow). There are also 4 bulldozers. The frogs hop around the board. When they are on their own color squares they get to hop 2 extra squares. The bulldozers roam around the board and the frogs can’t hop on squares that have been destroyed by the bulldozers. The last frog standing wins. If your frog is stuck and can not move on his turn due to the ruined squares, your frog it out of the game. The frogs need to hop each turn. They are laying their tadpole eggs in the rainforest trees. The bulldozers are destroying the rainforest.

Ki did his spelling on the Dry Erase board. He enjoyed that. We decided that he can use the dry erase board a couple times a week, but should use lined paper from a couple times a week, too, as it helps his writing. He also sat on the big bouncy ball for spelling today. It was a hand help dry erase board. About 15” x 10”. So he just used it at the table like a notebook.

Gavin started his science today. He only did the first item on his list, but has about 3 pages of notes.

Connor was working on Going Places today. And he did some 10 cent pages, too.

Math was done by all.

October 19, 2006

YEAH KI!

Last year we tried the spelling program and it was awful. He just wasn’t ready. (his auditory discrimination wasn’t good enough and confused him).

I started him again this year. He is doing great and actually loves it. Today he figured out how to spell ‘beginning’ and ‘inner’ all on his own. We hadn’t even gone over the ‘-er’ ending yet. He was SO HAPPY! Just on Monday I had him write ‘We are all beginning to be good spellers.” He wrote it as :

We ra all be  gen  to be god spls

I showed that to him today; how he couldn’t spell ‘beginning’ and how he figured out in 4 days how to spell that big word. He begged to do tomorrow’s spelling test too. I gave him some words from his word card. I had him spell ‘not’ and then figure out ‘bot’ and then ‘robot’. He was so happy to spell words correctly that he never even tried to spell before. He asked for some new words from the spelling book. Tomorrow he has ‘disagree’, soI gave that to him. He almost got it, too. He spelled ‘desogree’. But changed the e to an I upon hearing me say the word again (his auditory discrimination is still a bit behind, he has a handful of letter sounds he mixes up still)

Ki even sat I n on his brothers’ spelling test to have fun trying to figure out their words. But ‘curiously’ and ‘throughout’ are out of his league still.

today we covered the 3Rs, Bible, Art and G did history and C did science-

October 18, 2006

Waffle Wednesday

Yummy homemade waffles and a Bible story; what a way to start our day!

This was followed by clearing the dishwasher.

For today, I will not be descriptive of Brain Gym. I will indicate when we perform such activities by using “B.G”

B.G.  (music- ‘Sweetly Broken’ by Jeremy Riddle  &  ‘More’ by Matthew West)

~~ I had FUN as Staples yesterday. Ki has new pencils and I bought new hanging file folders and updated my organizing of current school work. I now have a new stapler with colored staples, too~~

Round 1- Spelling with G&C. We do daily tests and go over spelling rules and patterns while correcting.  Ki did 4 pages in Explode the Code (phonics/reading)

While Ki was finishing his work, the other two did their reading. Gavin is reading Pilgrim’s Progress and Connor is reading ‘Cat Warrior’.

Ki did his spelling (and BG). He is doing well, but i have to sit beside him and talk to his ear for him to hear the sounds correctly.

I taught the boys some more sign language to go with the passage we are memorizing. Then I had a sheet with blanks for them to fill in.

Then we reviewed the sign language again.

B.G.

Lunch.

A card playing session (Fluxx and SOLOnauts).

Gavin worked on his independent work (typing his story still- though he is independent this year, he only has 7 weeks left and hasn’t touched his science or done much math yet …. I’ll have to talk to him about that this week or next)

Connor did 5 pages in his Going Places program for reading comprehension and grammar.

Ki did map reading and using ordered pairs.  After he did a page in his book, he made a map on grip paper and used numbered pairs to identify objects on his map he drew.

The mail brought a package in the mail. More Looney Labs cards games. The boys were quite excited!

Connor did his math on the computer. So did Gavin. Gavin and Ki played Earobics.

The boys have been thinking up new goals for FLUXX… Connor thinks MUSHROOMS plus AIR should be a goal, since mushroom spores are spread through the air…. And he is going to make CATS EAT MICE. I suggested he call it STALKING, but he doesn’t want to. He wants that EAT part there. Gavin wants to have a MECH keeper to go with the WAR keeper for a goal of BattleTech or something like that.  Ki is going to make a new goal of DART FROGS—who ever has POISON and FROGS wins!

Tomorrw will be a science day I think.

October 17, 2006

We started our Brain Gym with Marching figure 8s today. Followed by CrisCrosses. Then just some “head shoulder knees & toes’” stretches. Then laying hook ups. We listened to some songs while doing this.

We are learning The Lord’s Prayer. So we read through that and talked about. Then we repeat it back and forth, line by line.

I asked them about how they slept and their dreams. Then I took prayer request and we prayed. They asked me to read our bible Story after that. It was about the first battle of the first King of Israel.

Then ‘school work’.

C&G did reading time while I gave Ki a spelling test (Alphabet 8s first) and we played games with his word cards.

Ki spelled ALL of his word correctly today. He even had different words than yesterday.

He gave himself a 99. I told he had everything correct. He told me his writing was a little sloppy, so he just gets a 99. Silly boy.

I have started him on Sequential Spelling. It is what I use with the other boys, but they are further along and I add in some extra words 9and get rid of some of the easy words)

Here was DAY ONE-

In

Pin

Sin

Spin

I stood in front at the board. He couldn’t hear the letters in SPIN and though it was SBIN. Today I sat next to him, on his right hand side annt spoke to him. He did much better today. He missed sin, too. I have added two of his sight words. Though he can read them, he can’t spell them.  HAVE  SOME

Today’s words were-

I

Pins

Sinis

Kin

Skin

Win

Twin

And he spelled have and some correctly,  too. He missed them yesterday. We played some gamed with his word cards afterwards.

We played the 5 In A Row game. I put out 5 cards in a row. He can read most of them now, so I don’t have him point to each as I say it. Now we are working on memory and sequence. I will say the 5 words in a different order than what they are. He then has to switch the cards around to put them in order. Then he has to make a sentence (or two) using the words IN ORDER. He’s allowed to change tense and plural/single.

After that he got out his book to read. He suggested he go read in a different room so I can give his brothers their spelling tests.  He is doing so well today. I’ll have to make sure to take a BRAIN GYM break here to keep the flow.

It’s math time….. Before math we do CALF Stretches (point and flex the foot while massaging the calf muscle) and ARM EXTENTIONS (put one arm straight up in the air-next to the ear. Put the hand of the other side on the upper arm of the raised arm. PUSH the raised arm forward while the hand PULLS the arm backwards (so it never really goes anywhere)… do this is all 4 directions). Then they got working on their math with a water bottle at hand. If they feel stuck they are to drink water and rub their ‘thinking points’ and try again before they come to me. It usually helps. I don’t know if the rubbing the thinking spots really does anything or it just relaxes them and the water hydrates the brain. But just having a process for relaxing is a good thing.

Gavin finished first. He remembered to staple his pages together and to write the test number at the top, but forgot his name.

Connor takes longer. I had him take a water break halfway through.

Ki had a math problem that equaled 1000 even. He was very impressed with that. He had to come explain it to me.

SO… we have had MATH.…SPELLING/WRITING.…READING…..BIBLE

Those are the most important. It is about lunch time. After lunch I will go for my Tuesday Coffee Shop break. I will leave them with a list of school work to finish before they can play. They usually do very well with a list when I am gone. They know if they DON’T do well, I  won’t leave them and love to be left home alone for a bit.

and I hope to get a science experiment in for Connor when I get back. Maybe we can all do it as a family after dinner.

THE WORK I LEFT FOR HEM TO DO-

Ki- Leap Pad  20 minutes

----Copywork  20minutes

----Earobics 20 minutes

Connor-Read next story in Going Places

--------WORD ROOTS  lesson 2
