Not a very paper/pencil week, but lots of learning just the same!
The only "real school" this week was:
Suzy did two math pages - Math-U-SeeAlpha 4F and 5A. Also watched the DVD for lesson 5.
But the learning didn't stop there! Read on....
Started a new read-aloud - The Lemonade Trick by Scott Corbett.
Suzy and Emily went with me to a baby shower - THINK PINK!
Saw The Bee Movie at an outdoor showing at a local park. I liked it - laughed right out loud quite a few times! It was neat sitting outside watching on the huge inflatable screen! The kids went several times last summer with Bob, but I was at work each time.
We visited the library and did our first cash-in of the kids' prize tickets! Brought home a BOATLOAD of books. The moment we walk in the house everyone is usually very busy READING.
Went to fireworks and set off some of our own (the tamer version). Swam in a friend's pool and at the waterpark. Camped out in a tent in the yard. Played outside a LOT as it was too nice to be indoors! Went to some garage sales.
Had a nature walk - photographed fish and insects, identified birds and plants and trees. James and Suzy both practiced using the digital camera.
Did lots of chores - daily ones, as well as mowing the yard, weeding the flowers, dusting, folding laundry, and more. However, the rooms? Not so clean as of tonight. Sigh.
David learned how to download a font off the internet and install it. He also installed new print cartridges for our all-in-one printer/scanner.
David wants to learn some Star Wars alphabet (thus the font download).
The three oldest kids learned to play Scattergories. Whee! I foresee some fun family times now! I love Scattergories!
[EDITED to add: we did family devotions 5 days during this week. This includes Bible reading, a memory verse, singing, and prayer.]
