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!

A Two Week "Weekly Report" for 10/25 - 11/5

Ok, so I just didn't feel up updating last week! We are pretty much plugging away at the "usual" stuff. Here are some highlights:

Bible - Squeak is really blessing me lately. Some days, I read only from the devotional and other days I read from the 101 Bible Stories book. Recently, Squeak has been insisting on the Bible Stories book over the devotional! She is really excited about Jesus as we are reading New Testament stories. Today, we read about the Last Supper and Judas' betrayal.

Science - We completed the Biology portion of Sonlight Science K. Now we are moving onto the Physics and Astronomy portions. I believe we are in Week 22. We have been trying to grow mold...it's NOT growing! Squeak does have some great seedlings still growing from our seed experiments.

Ok, I really love Sonlight Science. I planned on continuing with Science 1 then moving into God's Design for Science (by Answers in Genesis) but I'm starting to pray/consider using Science 2 before converting to God's Design.

This is a seed mobile she made last week:


Math - Squeak is done with Horizons Math 1 book 1. We are going to work in the Singapore 1b workbook then begin Horizons 1 book 2. This morning, while I was muttering things while balancing the checkbook, Squeak overheard me and quickly explained the place value of the number I was muttering. This was a 100's place value number! I was thrilled she somehow knew that but then thought "there goes next week's math lessons!!" Horizons book 2 begins with 100's place value! LOL!

Reading -  Yesterday we went to Pizza Hut because Squeak read her books for the Pizz Hut BOOK IT! challenge! She's holding her little certificate here:


Other - Lots of read alouds from the library, Peak With Books booklist and P 3/4 booklist. I don't think Squeak is too thrilled with The Pony Pals because she asked to take a week off of this book to read her Magic School Bus chapter books! haha!

We are doing crafts and Squeak has requested to do pages in her "Summer Express" workbook - this is a workbook for summer when kids are between grades. Squeak is working in the between 1st and 2nd grade book.

  1. I loved Peak with Books! I hardly ever hear anyone talk about it anymore.

    Looks like a good week for your little one!

  2. The girls enjoy Peak With Books too. I don't use the guide, I just use the booklist. Same with P3/4. Great picture books!!

  3. If you are enjoying SL, I vote to just stay with it! And it is always great when they are already familiar with a math topic! Good Week!

  4. I didn't know there were Magic School Bus chapter books! I will have to check the library.
    Oh, I think I have some mold growing in my shower that doesn't have a scientific license to be there! :)

  5. It is way too arid in our area for mold to grow much. Best bet for us is to keep it in the refrigerator (higher moisture content). LOL. Crazy.

    Looks like you are all having a great time.

  6. My 7 year old loved the Magic School Bus chapter books when she first started reading! I'll have to check some out for my 5 year old.
