Week #11

Last week flew by in a flash...whew!
Soccer Boy jumped back in time to learn about the time of the dinosaurs.  We read tons of books...who knew we had so many about dinos!  He is continuing to learn new sight words each week, building upon the last week.  I am so very proud of the progress he is making.  This is his "attempt" at making a dinosaur out of clay.

Artsy Girl spent the week learning about George Washington's early life as we will move into learning about the Revolutionary War next week.  Both the kids took their hand at making "Tricorn Hats".  These were the typical hats seen during colonial times but usually made out of beaver fur.  We took the week off from science as we had far too many extracurriculars this week to attend to.
She is greatly enjoying Teaching Textbooks 3 so far.  We struggled with math last year...she was becoming quickly bored.  So, what's a mom to do other than begin researching alternatives.  That is another great reason we love homeschooling.  When something does not work, we fix it!  This program has been a blessing to us.  It gives her the freedom to move at her own pace while still allowing me to check in once a week to view her grades...did I say how much we love this program?

Who says tricorn hats can't have glitter and sequins?
