Hmm-- I really like this idea-- an end of the week wrap up-- could be good-- could be bad--- Go here to learn more-- and to participate...
We are still getting up to speed-- but the basics have been covered each day! Baby girl has been here a month tomorrow--so we need to get busy soon!! BIBLE Well I haven't been diving into Weaver's Bible lessons yet-- but Jason has been doing our family devotions each afternoon before he goes to bed. He has been pulling things from here and there--but making real progress with the boys. Jason has started working with the boys to learn some Hymns. Our current church is hymns only-- so it is good for them to learn -- (we listen to a lot of P&W around the house and in the car). It has really challenged me too-- because I am goign to TRY to play the piano along with some of the hymns-- so we are going to focus on 1 per week--- and I need to PRACTICE-- but it helps greatly with a family who isn't musically inclined and can't carry a tune very well. This week and next week our hymn is Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee. After reading a few other blogs-- I remembered how we were working on memorizing the OT Books and doing sword drills to find em'...need to get back into this too--we were up to Psalms....the boys are GOOD memorizers! I want to add in some memory verse work here-- I need to work on that for NEXT week.... we've done it before-- just slacked off- MATH Zachary is zipping right a long in his 2nd grade Horizon math book. He is working on Thousands, adding , subtracting, ordnals, counting by 3's, 6's, and following directions. Joshua just finished his K Horizon math book this week Language Arts- Reading, Writing, Phonics We use Sing Spell Read and Write for this-- and Explode the Code workbooks Zachary is on step 20-- in SSRW and doing very well. He has been doing copy work from a Rod and Staff book-- He is almost finished with his Explode the Code 2 1/2 book (they do 2 pages front and back each day) ...not sure what we'll do when that is finished-- seems a bit early to move on to book 3- need to think about this- because Explode the Code is good for re-inforcing what we are learning. Joshua is on step 15-- doing very well also- His handwriting has been writing (from memory) name, address, phone number (NEATLY). He is working thru the Explode the Code 1 1/2..... I really like these workbooks-so do the boys! Science We need to get on our Weaver lessons here-- this week and last--it has been thru DVD's! We found a great series called Popular Mechanics for Kids at the library-- WOW_- those are NEAT - O!! We are working thru the Plagues in Weaver--so they have been watching videos on Frogs and Ambhibians- We read a few books on the Nile River too. Read Aloud- & ART Well is is is fall- and yesterday we started thru Little House on the Prairie- Farmer Boy- and we all (mom included) drew a picture to go with Chapter 1. I think we are really going to enjoy this !! Music- Zachary has joined the childrens Bell Choir at our church (he really enjoys this) Zachary and Joshua are joining the Christmas Contada at church--practice started this week.... Physical Education- This is gym 2x a month at the local YMCA (after co-op) but not this week- They have been outside EVERY DAY playing hard and dirty though!! There are many life skills they are learning too-- but I'll save those for a later date-- we need to get started our our school work for TODAY.
