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 7/26 - 7/30

This report won't be anything spectacular but at least it's a start! LOL!

Bible - Both girls really enjoy the R&S Bible Stories and Coloring. I've decided to continue with R&S once we've completed this.

Math - My hopeful plan is to keep Squeak in 1st grade math until May. So I have 10 months to keep her occupied! We are still using Singapore Math 1a and MEP 1a. We worked through the 1st 30 lessons of MEP last month and have shifted back to SM. The past week, Squeak worked in the workbook and completed some pages in the chapters I don't plan on officially covering.

My friend in Florida is sending us some MathStart books - mathy story books. I want to check these out and use them to fill time as well.

Science - Earlier, we skipped ahead and completed weeks 20 and 21 on the human body. Squeak's latest interest is the human body. Today, we went back and started a 10 week long study of LIVING THINGS. This begins in Week 10 of Sonlight Science K.

I have a bare wall in our "school" that will be used to display all our fun projects. Here is Squeak coloring in the banner I made to put up on the wall:


We went through the characteristics that living things share and talked about God creating all the living things.

  2. The MathStart books are really fun! We've also been reading A Place for Zero and other books by that publisher, and they complement first grade math pretty well. :) Sounds like a good week!
