It has been a sick week here, and really not very productive. Cricket had this the prior weekend - high fever, a nasty cough, sore throat, and exhaustion - then M got it, and finally Bug. Poor Bug has been miserable all week. Thankfully, the worst seems to have passed. He still sounds creaky and gravelly-voiced, but he's doing better.We got half a math page from each child this week. Cricket did practice her reading, and I continued reading from The Hobbit to them, along with American folk and tall tales from a couple of library books. We did a little copywork, with Bug working on a Walter de la Mare poem, and Cricket a winter poem by "Anonymous". Bug did read all of Cabin Fever in one long afternoon, but other than that, it has been a week of movies, blankets, and hot tea. Oh, they did watch a few episodes of Walking With Prehistoric Beasts!
Next week, we'll work on incorporating our new approach to language arts, and we'll delve into fossils and the Cambrian era in history. I am looking forward to the kids checking out this kit, and we get to make these fun cookies! In science we'll be exploring gravity, and in math we'll finish up our measurement unit with a couple of funny and informative books, while at the same time working our way through some more Math Mammoth.
I'm looking forward to another nice quiet weekend at home, with lots of rain! Don't forget to drop by Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers for more weekly wrap-ups!
Even though they were sick, I'm impressed with what they accomplished! I hope they all feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteHope you are all feeling well next week!
ReplyDeleteSorry you are all feeling poorly. :(
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect week to read The Hobbit. You can all eat cake and have tea and read about adventure.
Feel better!!! Isn't it nice, though, when you can just scale back and read and let everyone relax when they are under the weather?
ReplyDeleteSorry that the family is under the weather. I will have to check out BraveWriter.
ReplyDeleteAwww - sorry your bunch was under the weather. It sounds as though you made the most of it though :) Walter de la Mare is on our poetry list for next week!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had the flu? That is a tough illness...take it easy as you recover. We're reading Walter de la Mare lately too. I've been reading his poems about winter lately.
ReplyDeleteHope you guys are starting to feel better! I love The Hobbit and am so excited to read it to my girls when they are ready. What a perfect sick book.
ReplyDeleteBummer on the sickness! I hope all is better now.
