Weekly Wrap-Up

 

 

We had a good week this week.  We did science experiments, bird watching(becoming a favorite hobby), seed planting, wood working and of course school work.  I have made plans for next years curriculum and have started shopping around for it.  I have a bird watching experiment planned and if the weather will clear up hopefully we will get to it this weekend. 

This week we did a subject a day again.  Kiddo loves this schedule so much I am considering switching to it. I usually use it just to break things up and make our day different.  He does great with the schedule though.  We will see I might start doing once a week every month, it would be a great way to catch up in any areas we have fallen behind in.  Our schedule this week was:

 

Monday – Math  He did 3 lesson in Teaching Textbooks, one quiz and we did a lesson in Singapore math on measurements.

Tuesday – Language Arts  He did 3 handwriting worksheets(took forever), Words are Wonderful worksheet, 3 lessons in First Language lessons and spellingcity.com

Wednesday – Reading day per his request.  He read 3 Horrible Science books and we started Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkaban.  We have a rule at our house you have to read the book before you can watch the movie.

Thursday – Science  We read a chapter in Zoology, made creation book in Zoology notebook journal. Read Genesis 1.  Did vocabulary crossword puzzle. Read chapter in Botany and did a little work in the notebook journal. 

Friday – History We read 3 chapters in Story of the World, did 3 maps worksheets, and took the test to go with each chapter.  I use the test book as worksheets.  We will finish history next week most likely.  I am working on a geography unit study for us to do before moving on to Story of the World 3.

In the pictures above: we met Rufus the screech owl at Animal Encounters, did the coke and mentos experiment, helped Dad with some furniture building, and planted seeds for spring. 

 

                                                                                                             Looking forward to next week.  I can see the end of the year or curriculum since we are year round schooling now and I am ready to move on to new things. We took a month off from TaeKwonDo and we will start that back next week, I am very happy about that.  It is spring which means getting out and doing more, yeah!

                                                       

Have a great weekend everyone!

  1. We're LOVING our birds! We've been experimenting with different seeds and suet mixtures, hoping to attract a variety of birds since the spring migrators are starting to return. (3 new birds this month!) We've even had a mallard and his mate visit recently to clean up the ground! Have fun shopping for new curriculum! So fun, isn't it? I get enjoyment for new texts, workbooks games, etc! LOL Thanks for stopping by from the Hip Homeschool Hop!
