The Lord placed home schooling on my heart long before I even thought about getting married! This is record of the Lord's work in our lives and in our home school. Let HIS will be done!

Weekly Report (2/1 - 2/5)

Our week has been a bit more relaxed as I wasn't as motivated to do so much school!!

Bible - We have been reading out of our devotional and have been listening to the CDs that came with the Horizons PreK multimedia package I bought last year. I forgot I had those!!! What a blessing!! This morning, we listened to the story about the Little Tree about four times in a row. This Little Tree lived in Israel when Jesus was born and was the tree used to crucify Him. This CD had the story and songs throughout. Squeak and Piglet both enjoyed this!!

Math - Squeak finished another section in Reader Rabbit and has three sections complete. I estimate that the workbook is a little over half completed.

I think I'm leaning towards A beka math for my Singapore Math supplement. I really like the workbook and I think Squeak will too. I am starting to think about how we are going to do the first book in the Horizons K too. I can't imagine doing it lesson by lesson so I figured I will preview each lesson and complete the exercises I know Squeak should work on and skip the stuff she knows cold.

Peter Rabbit - I can't remember if I mentioned that lap booking isn't quite the hit I thought it would be! We did get two more projects into our lap book this week: What rabbits are known for and what each bunny ate for supper:

 


Other news -  I decided not to do the Moving Beyond the Page community section until the weather is nice. We can't go walking around the community in the cold! (or at least, I don't want to! LOL!). So I'm going to continue that in the spring. We did begin reading The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlos Collodi. We are currently on Chapter 6!! We also have been painting quite a few pictures with Squeak's mess free paints! Squeak worked in her Never Bored Book (from Evan Moor) and I need to order the next one soon as this one is almost complete!

  1. Relaxed weeks are wonderful. I'm sorry the lapbook didn't go over well.

  2. It's been dreary here, so it's been really hard for me to be motivated too! Glad to know I'm not the only one! :)

  3. Nothing wrong with a relaxed week. (Need to remind myself of that too). I see even on relaxed weeks she gets her math done well. Oh, and I am definitely with you on the no walking around town in the cold weather thing. I debated it yesterday because of reviewing our town map. But as I stated on my blog we did a "finger walk" around town on the map.

  4. In response to your PS on my blog:
    I thought I was never going to need the hair ties with Tabitha either. She finally started getting a decent amount of hair, but it took a while for there to be enough to do anything with. It is only this week we started braiding.

  5. Sorry about the lapbooks. My boys never seemed interested, but now my youngest likes to look at the lapbooks and art stuff I have saved. SO- if you hang onto it, she may like to look through it 6 months down the road.

  6. Lapbooks are hard. Sometimes they are a big hit and sometimes not so much. We ditched our poetry lapbooks in January. Thanks for sharing your week--hoping for more sunshine for your family.
