Week # 2!

We are now settling into a nice little routine. 
This week Soccer Boy learned all about the letters B and C...we even went on scavenger hunt around the house gathering items that begin with these letters.  He added his letters to our alphabet tree (pics to come soon). He is even beginning to learn the pledge and enjoying his daily bible stories.

This week it's off to The British Isles where we learned all about England, Scotland, Wales and northern Ireland and put our first stamp in our passport.  We learned about Charles Dickens, the author of her book, Oliver Twist, which she continues to read.  We spoke with our very best British accents...Artsy Girl says that mine is really terrible:)  We visited London and took a drive through the Scottish countryside to see the beautiful castles.  We ended our week making a model of Stonehenge out of flour, sand, glue and food coloring (who knew?).  It's looks really good and Artsy Girl is very proud of it.  And for our art, we learned about Vincent Van Gogh (she is fascinated that he cut his own ear off).  We began our grammar studies learning about the parts of a sentence which will continue into next week.  Still reviewing math and started our science...this year we all spending a whole year learning all about plants:)
