WEEK 34

BIBLE

We finished our Matthew study this week by reading all of chapter 14! I had planned to stretch this study out over 2 years, but I have decided to change up our Bible curriculum next year and we are going to try something different! Joys of homeschooling, right?!
 

LANGUAGE ARTS

Ryder did Spelling Lesson 34 and got a 25/25 on his spelling test. He also took his final end of the year spelling test and got a 25/25!

Mercer did Lesson 16 in All About Reading Level 2. We will continue this a few days a week over the summer.

Ryder had reading time every day. He finished the book "Black Beauty." Mercer is reading the Usborne "Hey Jack!" book series. He has finished over half the books already though!

For read aloud time we finished the book "New Toes for Tia."

MATH

Mercer did lessons 132-134 in Horizons Math. Ryder did lessons 93-95 in Teaching Textbooks. Both will continue their math program over the summer until it is finished. I purposefully stretch their math out so they are still doing math over the summer. I like them to retain information and get the practice in so when we start a new school year they just move right along without having to have much review.

 

GEOGRAPHY

This week we finished our study of France. We read more about France in "Children's Atlas of God's World." The geography-themed vocabulary words that Ryder learned about this week were river and rapids.

SCIENCE

We studied about balance of nature, Eugene Odom, and caves in Properties of Ecosystems. We also learned about how to describe living things in the Living World Encyclopedia.

 

MUSIC

We listened to the sons "All the Ducklings" and "Frere Jacques" on our Wee Sing CD.

 

ART

The boys learned about impressionism and they painted a landscape of water and trees with a bridge!

 

The girls got to color with colorwonder markers!

 

CO-OP
This was their last week at their Community classes at Highland. We have been so thankful for Ms. Heather and Ms. Suzanne this year! Such a great support system and I am so thankful they will have them as teachers next year! Here's a picture of their classes :)



Yesterday we had our end-of-the-year party with our Thursday group. We went to Get Air and the boys were just loving it! Definitely in their element!
