monday's school day was similar to other days we have. some are more hit the books more than others.yesterday was NOT one of those days! lol
first, devotions. we talked about listening to wise council and not being foolish. we used proverbs as our text.
parker did do math ( subtraction with the 100s and borrowing) and language arts ( which word fits in the sentence best,complete sentence vs fragments,and making up sentences describing himself in his workbooks but for science we read out of his eyewitness book about mammels. this has been his favorite one to read for a few weeks now! did you know a mouse doesn't turn brown til it's 10 days old?
while he was doing this the girls watched sesame street and ben trimmed our big palm tree. when that was over the littles rode bikes with sarah watching and ben got started on his schoolwork. saxon math was just the beginning. then we moved onto his new paces workbook for language arts, where we reviewed homonyms ( i admit, on a few even i had to stop and think for a minute! i never knew there were so many! lol ) and he did tons of spelling!!
then i read a berenstain bears book about housecleaning ( is there no end to the subjects these books discuss? ) and set the kids to cleaning!!! ( remember we are moving , hopefully soon)
lunch was taquitos. ben read some science facts in his handy science information book. then we went to target to buy organic milk and to staples for sarah to spend her gift card. ( she bought pens and paper)
laundry and computer took up my evening while the littles slept and ben and sarah watched tv.
