We had a pretty normal week, for once! Not many interruptions and we were able to make it through all of our lesson plans for the week. Next week? Well that will be a whole different story!
On Tues, we started our first P.E. session with the other home schooled children who attend our church.
They got to get some exercise, do some soccer drills, and even play a game before it was time to go.
The boys and Elizabeth had a GREAT time! The boys were even talking that they wanted to join a soccer team, they enjoyed it so much.

Elizabeth didnt join in with the game, she chased butterflies most of the time. She thought that was great fun too. :)
Bible: We finished up our unit on David, learning a whole lot about the consequences of unconfessed sin. For our Hymn, we began learning "Now Thank We All Our God". Which was written at the end of the Thirty Years War (see History), thanking God for getting them through that terrible time.
Science: We studied fish, their anatomy and fins, and how God specifically designed them to live in the water.
On Friday, we watched Disney's Oceans for a special treat - Netflix streaming has been a great source for our school year this year!!
History: We learned about the Thirty Years War and Oliver Cromwell, the king who wasn't a king.
Math: Sean worked on fractions and Ryan continued reinforcing division and proving his multiplication facts.
LA: Ryan finished his unit on commas and Sean is working on different forms of punctuation.
Reading: Sean is reading Meet Thomas Jefferson this week to get ready for his first long book report for the year. We have discovered that the books that I bought him for this year seem to be much too easy for him. We're going to finish up these books (he's flying through them) and then I think we'll be bumping up his reading level quite a bit. This HUGE for me though, he has struggled with reading so much since grade one and to see how much he has grown, thrills me!
Ryan just finished his Riding the Pony Express book. He'll be starting a new book next week. He has been doing outstanding in his reading as well, almost needing no help from mom! :)

My girls are always on the prowl for butterflies too. It's sad to see them die or leave as fall appears.
The soccer and butterfly chasing looks FUN! Thanks for linking up and sharing your week.
