We took Tuesday(10-4) off since dh was off for Rosh Hashannah.  He was also off on Wed. but I couldn't stand not doing lessons so we studied:

Bible-Jacob had a dream-didn't go into too much detail just gave some definitions of the words 'dream' and 'journey'

Phonics-long e sound with 'ie' vowel pairs with words such as 'believe,field,chief, etc'

Math-learning about money; coins in particular;  we spent a lot of time going over how to count by 5's and counting nickels and how that differs from using pennies and counting by 1's; played 'Store'

                                ----------------------------

On today(Thursday) we covered:

Bible-skipped to Jacob had 12 sons and one of them was Joseph.(Skimmed over the fact that Jacob married 2 wives.  It was commented to me by 6yo 'but Mommy you are only supposed to have 1 wife!'.  I nodded yes that is correct and left it at that.  I guess I need to explain a little that was the custom back then and that you should only have 1 wife AT A TIME!)

Phonics - quick review and worksheet on long e words with vowel pairs ee,ie,ea.  Had to complete the words in the sentences with the correct vowel pair. 

Math - quick and short review of counting by 5's (and 1's.) will start dimes(counting by 10's) next week Monday.

Unit on Health - FINALLY finished Albert the Running Bear's Exercise Book.  I NEVER thought this unit would take this long.  I feel like it is ddddrrrrrrraaaaaaaaagggggggggiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnggggggggggg!  Maybe that is indication I need to move on to something else..although the children do not balk at doing this unit...they participate in the exercises and listen attentively.  So the last lesson is on Dental Hygiene.  We'll start that on next Monday also.

We were finally able to get back to Heidi.  I did not read to them over the last 2 days so were wanted to have quick lessons today so we could spend some time reading Heidi.  I read, the dc played and listened and understood what they could.  They would stop me and ask questions about what I just read so they were listening. YEAH!!  I read 2 chapters.  We are up to when Heidi is living with Clara now and is supposed to be sitting in on her lessons but she ran out of the house in her desire to want to hear the fir trees and came back with 2 kittens in her apron and b/c of all that she was scolded by Fraulien Rottenmeir. Clara asked Sebastian to keep the kittens because she liked them and she likes Heidi too.  I believe I am falling in love with this book all over again.  I think I'm enjoying it more than my children!!  Looking forward to tonight when we read more....
