Another great week of homeschooling has come and gone!

Soccer Boy spent his time this week learning about rocks, raccoons and ropes.  Letter "Rr" has made an appearance this week.  He is moving right along with his sight words and now we are starting some very simple addition.  We have been counting and counting like crazy!  We also painted our "Rock" quilt piece and our "Zebra" piece that we forgot to paint last week.  Only 6 left until I begin work on his "Kindergarten Quilt".  The very last thing we do each day of school is curl up on the couch and read a book.  I let him pick out most of the books and each day he always wants to read a Berenstain Bears book.  I grew up reading these cherished books and now they are a favorite with him around here too.  We have purchased many of them and they continue to delight him even though we have read each of them several times.  It is so nice to find books that children find enjoyable, but at the same time are Christian focused.

Artsy girl spent her week learning about Samuel Morse and the Telegraph.  She even wrote her name is Morse Code.

 She also learned about the states of Florida and Texas.  I really enjoy the Road Trip USA printables to go along with our study of American History.  She loves coloring and decorating the pages.

We also have made a board with all the state animals and state birds which we classify using the Animals of the USA printables.  This is a great way to learn how to classify the animals and review along the way.  We try to remember which animals go with which state...very challenging!


Next week she will be learning all about the California Gold Rush and Soccer Boy will be on to letter "Jj".
