This week will be both a regular, weekly wrap-up and a participating entry for Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers' Annual Curriculum Special Edition. First, curriculum, which I have all picked out, and am happy and excited about! To make it simple, here is a link to the page I already have set up...
Now, a more regular weekly wrap-up...
This was a busy week for me at work, as I picked up additional hours, so we didn't do a whole lot of sit-down learning. What we did do was:
- Card games
- Piano practice & a lesson
- Reading practice (Cassia)
- I read aloud from The Search for Delicious
- We talked about fractions, and the kids did mental addition with fractions
- We started watching Walking with Cavemen
- We watched a documentary on food and food politics in the USA... it is called What's On Your Plate? and was put together in large part by two 11 year olds, who decided to research food systems in New York. This led to a lot of interesting discussions about food, nutrients, gardening, farming, corporations, and more
- Art - drawings, a couple of paintings, collages, etc.
- They built a house from cardboard boxes at their Nonna's house
- We had our second Spiral Scouts meeting today. The kids presented a drawing each, of their five favorite things (part of the work toward an award), and we began learning about using compasses/orienteering for another award. When we got home, their uniforms had arrived (I ordered the dark green polo shirts and a khaki skirt for Cassia from a school uniform place. Thankfully, Cyrus already has khaki pants!) so now they are "breaking them in"
