Over the weekend, I put the pictures from our Life Science field trip on the bulletin board. It is starting to look better all the time.
Today, we started out with math, (a few worksheets and some online drills), cursive & typing. He's up to 98% accuracy at 8 wpm, and still learning new letters each day. I wanted to get those subjects out of the way so we could get on to the good stuff.
We read a book about the Ice Age, from the Creation perspective. It was nice to even find such a book. It is called Life in the Ice Age, and actually we are only about half done. We will finish it tomorrow.
We watched the first half of a video about the Hovind Theory on the Flood, and the Ice Age. I sure wish I had learned these things when I was a kid.
We went to the park to have recess with Isaac's homeschooling buddies. That was fun for mom too, to be able to share ideas with another homeschooling mom.
Then it was home for lunch and to read another chapter of The Mouse and the Motorcyle. Also, Isaac read another book, Gilberto and the Wind, on his own, and then summarized it to me.
For snack, I had taken clear colored strawberry Kool-Aid, and I had put some of Isaac's tiny toy animals in Tupperware popsicle molds and then poured the Kool-Aid over it and froze them. Isaac enjoyed his Ice Age popsicles.
Isaac also made an ark out of Legos--and even some Lego animals. We did several creation spelling words orally and kept drilling them until he got them.
Can't wait to start our Ancient Egypt unit. I got the books ordered from the library last night...along with desert books and camel books. I'm getting the supplies gathered up for that unit.
We are both really enjoying this homeschooling thing. |
