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 11/29 - 12/3

Our whole family has had colds this past week - Daddy, Mommy, Squeaky and Packy. Fortunately (PTL!), nothing that caused us to bed ridden or anything. And of course, nothing got in the way of Squeak wanting to do school! LOL! I admit though, we've been slacking in reading the Magic School Bus book at night because my voice was done by the evening!

Anyhoo-

Bible - We read about how after Jesus rose from the dead, He appeared to His disciples and gave them "The Great Commission".

Packy also has been praying before meals! She will fold her hands, bow her head then mumble something and look up and say "Amen! Julie's turn!" It's really cute!!

Math - Squeak worked in Horizons this past week and worked through about 35 lessons. Of course, she didn't do everything single lesson. I have been compacting Horizons 1 by paper clipping the lessons into sections of 10 lessons. She will work on a section for a day or two then move on. She has easily been working on adding 3 2-digit numbers and 2 3-digit numbers as well as graphing, fractions, measurement and money. She hasn't had any problems working with numbers in the 100's.

We will start Horizons 2 in January. And we are also going to try Bob Jones University (BJU) Math in January. I just can't "feel the love" for Singapore Math. Squeak does fine with it but I just don't feel the love for it. Perhaps that will change but I don't know.

Science - We are on Week 25 of Sonlight Science K. Squeak has been learning about energy and force.

Other - The girls have been making various crafts:








Changes for January:

-We are going to start/try BJU Math 2
-We are going to start American History using Sonlight materials and various project items I have been gathering.

    I was sharing with my husband all the different things your daughter can do as shared in this post and some other past posts. Hope you don't mind. Looking forward to seeing how your curriculum and girls progress.
    The hats really are adorable.
    Hope everyone is feeling better! We know what that is like.
    Love the cute prayer story. I wish I could remember what Tabitha used to say. Usually now she prays and says, "Dear Lord thank you for this food. Bless it to our bodies. Amen"
    Speaking of food, the lasagna is a cheese and spinach lasagna that I sort of created by rearranging the ingredients and instructions in about 3 different recipes I read. If you would like the recipe just let me know.

    The History stuff sounds so fun! So far any history has been random books I've checked out of the library. I'm such a slacker Mom!
