Week 26

Math - This week ELI did math everyday.  He's working on division and multiplication and just getting those more solid.  He's good at math and doesn't require a lot of my help, but does it every morning as a part of his morning routine. He's on Lesson 20 of his math book which has 36 lessons total so he's pretty on target to finish by the end of the year.  IVY is on Lesson 10 of her math book which also has 36 lessons.  She won't be done by the end of the year, but that's okay.  She's making good progress on her larger addition problems and is picking up the concepts.  I'm really hoping to involve more logic games for math and logic.  We all seem to struggle at those LOL!  EMMITT is still mastering 1-10.

Language Arts - ELI is on Lesson 4 of his new book.  He's doing great with it.  IVY continued her reading lessons, did her handwriting and her readings.  EMMITT did his lessons with his buddy Bronson and practiced writing more words.

History - We did another lesson on Christopher Columbus.  The kids pasted another picture in their notebook and we discussed more of his adventures and the kind of person he was.

Tech - We did lots of magna tile building and watched videos and discussed hydraulics since the kids recently did their kiwi crates on hydraulics.

PE - We did a lot of exercises together this week as a family.  We did sit ups, push ups, jumping jacks, running in place.  We've included this into our family's morning routine.

Commonwealth - We didn't have our Commonwealth this week due to President's Day weekend so we'll start up again next week :).

Week 25

Math - Eli worked on his math every day this week.  He's become more independent with his math and gets it done first thing in the morning as part of his morning routine.  He also worked on his division flashcards with me.  He does really good with his math.  Ivy worked on her math pages this week.  She's working on adding multiple digit numbers like 45+13=.  It's pretty easy for her.  She still writes her 6's and 5's backwards a lot, but I'm sure that'll come with time.  Emmitt worked on his numbers 1-10... he's getting better at writing them.  We all played UNO a few times. Language Arts - Eli had it pretty easy with Language Arts this week since we're waiting for his new curriculum to arrive.  He did his handwriting every day.  It's been interesting because he usually writes with his left hand, but decided this week he wants to write with his right hand.  He has mixed dominance, which means he doesn't actually have a dom...

Eli's math is coming along great!  He has 12 lessons to go in his math book and his doing great!  He already knows multiplication but the musical multiplication program I got for him is really helping him get to where he can say the answers faster.  He wrote quite a few stories this week and did really well.  He's still reading "A Yard for John" with me... we're progressing slower then I'd like, but hopefully this week or next he'll be done. Ivy got a couple of math lessons done and is also progressing well with musical multiplication.  She has 5 more lessons in her Reading Lessons so hopefully we can wrap up this book in the next 2 weeks.  She did a lot more dictation this week which is so good for her confidence! She's mainly done copywork in the past but dictation is really good for her to practice her spelling.   Emmitt has one lesson left in his language arts.  He's also been doing the musical multiplication with his siblings (h...

Week 33-34

We got to go do a super fun Easter Egg hunt that our good friends the Shipp's do every year!  My kids walk away with so much candy and fun stuff!!  It's definitely a highlight of the year!   We also got new baby ducks and 6 baby chicks so we've been having lots of fun taking care of them.  The ducks have been living in our bathtub for a couple of weeks and we moved them out to the chicken's house this weekend.  They seem to be doing good out there with a heat lamp.  Everyone has been helping, which is great!!  It's nice to have the kids know what to do and be able to go check water and food.  We already get about 4-6 eggs per day from our hens so it'll be fun to be getting more when our baby chicks are bigger (still another 4-5 months away). Eli has been having fun teaching us exercise class. Eli is doing great on his language arts, handwriting and math. Ivy is also doing great with her reading lessons, handwritin...
