Week 5- N,Nest, God takes good care of me, review week next week

Obviously this was the N week. We made nests and colored nests. we sequenced birds making nests and laying eggs and the baby birds growing up. We made nests with the mud and then took yarn and glued them to paper to make nests.

Ry is doing better with time but her being distracted is going to be issues but we will work with it. Emma is just like her dad, she is exceptionally smart. I cant WAIT  to get a printer and start printing out these other activities to take up her time. I mean lap book mania here. I am hoping.

Next week we are reviewing and I think I have decided to do it every 5 weeks. We took a test on friday. They had to write their alphabet letters both capital and lower case. and numbers 1-5. Now, i have the letters on our white board to help them understand how to write them correctly. Ry, looking at that, made a 100. Emma missed 12 because she was just speeding through and not paying attention. It was so hard not to correct her and when she asked me if it looked right i asked her what she thought and she would either erase it or keep going. So she made an 80 or so. OH Funny thing. She went to do her numbers and instead of writing her numbers what did she do?? EX. 1. | 2.|| 3.||| etc. to get the All the way to 5. We put the tests on the fridge along with their paitings from art class.

Any way. Next week is review/make up week. We will do a few more things with the apples. And a few more things with the Leaves. We will go and look up more stuff for the sun and the moon and really focus on writing those letters.  (S,M,L,A,N). Week 6 starts the in depth blending of phonics so we are going to just work on review this week before we jump in head first. Love homeschooling. No one is left behind, we review. We get it in our skulls and then we go on when they are ready and have got it down instead of pushing.

Thats the update for the week.

Week 4- A, Apples, If I stay in Jesus I will have much fruit

This week went by too fast. We had a lot of fun though learning about apples. And And about learning about fruits of the spirits. We made a apple tree. And we will get different kinds of apples and taste test them and then make apple sauce but did not get to it this past week. Thats the beauty of homeschool is we can make up at any point. They have really been spending a lot of time on the Elementary Advantage computer game. We start a new schedule monday and are literally putting in PE as part of school. Emma is progressing emmensly. I cant believe my 4 year old is adding like 4 plus 2 is 6, Its blowing me away for real. Ry is doing better with a time limit and i am working on patience.

For october we are also throwing in a study of native americans since thats the kind of birthday party Ry wants. We will spend time on studying them and their culture and beliefs and the dances and possibly get some movies.
