Week #5

Soccer Boy had a great week learning all about the letter M.  We spent the week exploring the moon, pretending to be astronauts, and learning how Jesus wants us to light the world with our good deeds.  If he didn't learn anything else this week, he did learn one very important thing.  As we were making his sun, moon, and stars mobile, I asked him where did they come from?  He looked at me and said, "That's easy Mommy, God made them!"  Enough said...it was a great week:)

 Using oreos to learn about the phases of the moon (thanks pinterest).

Our next piece of the Kindergarten quilt.

Artsy girl spent this week learning about the Pilgrims.  She finished her Magic Treehouse book, drew a picture of a typical Pilgrim family and located Plymouth Rock.  We discussed what a typical day would have been like in 1620, very hard!!  We also began our Magic School Bus Electricity Kit...she really loves all these projects.  She learned about static electricity using a balloon and her hair, and made Rice Krispies dance.  Our Bible theme continued with learning to live in the light by having Jesus in your heart.  I think she has a real grasp on this subject, thus we will be moving on to our study of the book of Luke next.  We also continued with our English, Spelling, Cursive Handwriting and Math.  Those subjects just aren't quite as exciting as the others:), so I may not mention those as often each week!
