Monday
Wednesday
- We read devotions during breakfast
- QL and I did an phonics lesson /-y/, and IW joined us for math. Next time we begin subtraction!
- during lunch we read our Bible story (Parable of the Hidden Treasure)
- After quiet time I read a couple of history stories to the kids while they colored in their Pilgrim coloring books.
- After history, I showed the kids the news video of the little girl who fought off a would-be kidnapper and we talked about what to do if that ever happens to them. We also talked about how most people are good people, but some are bad, and that the bad people usually look just like the good people.
- This morning we forgot to read devotions, and I didn't realize it until late this afternoon. : /
- After the big kids did their morning chores, Em sat at the kitchen table and played with Playdoh, then went to his room to play with toys. IW, QL and I began our Day 2 unit in Science. This is my favorite subject to do with the kids! We talked about the sky, water vapor and air and I demonstrated air pressure for the kids with a straw and balloon.
- After science we all did the next lesson in Singapore 1A together. I've decided that since both kids were getting ready to start subtraction, and IW likes the Singapore math better than his MUS, we're just going to all do math together, and we'll do it everyday (well, actually Monday through Thursday). This makes my life a lot less confusing!
- We had our homeschool Valentine's party today. We got there late because I had to wait for a couple to come look at the puppy we're trying to find a home for, so the kids didn't get to give out their cards, and they didn't receive any either. I think this made me a lot more sad than it did the kids. The party was pretty much over by the time we got there, but there were a few lingering kids, so they still had fun. And when we got home, I put together some cards for them for their boxes (which were awesome, by the way, and no one got to see them. They're love bugs!).
Wednesday
- Once again we didn't read devotions during breakfast. Jo woke up early, and QL slept late, which both rarely do. The kids ate breakfast at different times.
- QL had 2 phonics lessons today because they were easy peasy.... /-old/ and /th/. She finished her copywork for her science notebook from yesterday, so I figure that's good for today. Then IW joined us for another subtraction lesson, and QL finished up by reading a chapter to me out of her beginner's Bible.
- My friend came by to hang out with the kiddos while I ran to the store. When I got back we hung out while the kids played (except for Em, who went with me to the store and had a MELTDOWN in the middle of Dollar General. He went to his room.).
- Jo started crawling today!!!!! : )
Thursday
- I spent the morning on the phone with Drs. office. IW's ear still hurts, and he's taken all of his antibiotic. I take him back tomorrow. Between that and feeding Jo cereal again, for the first time since we all got sick, our morning was thrown completely out of whack. Hopefully we can pull it together after lunch.
- We watched a Science channel show: The Science of Whales. I thought it was pretty cool, as did QL. IW was in and out of interest, and Em was very frustrated that we weren't watching sharks.
- Took the kids to the doctor this morning. IW has eustachian tube dysfunction (?), so now he'll be using a steroidal nasal spray every day.
- We read our history story at the doctor's office and the kids colored in their pilgrims coloring book. We've found land!
- By the time we got home and got a snack, I was a little grumpy. I decided to let go, and let the kids watch an episode of Man Woman Wild. This was in everyone's best interest.
- The kids hung out and played while I cleaned. Husband's coming home tonight and I just want to enjoy our weekend and not worry about cleaning!
