Home school Week:12

Last week was a little hectic and I never got around to posting on the blog, but I'm getting back on track this week!


Art: the boys both did projects learning to combine primary and secondary colors to make a whole new "look" to their art.
Sean worked on these leaves layering several different colors and learning how to blend them.
Ryan did the same with his Parrot but he used watercolor. For each body part he had to use one primary and one secondary. He loved the neat colors that came out!

Bible: This week (and last week) we studied the book of Esther. A really great example how God works in our lives even when we don't see every step He is doing. And how important it is to wait on God and let Him do his wonderful Works!

History: We learned about India, its history of kings and eventually being taken over by the East India Company and England. It was really neat to learn about the Taj Mahal! We thought it was a palace, but really, it was a tomb built for a beloved Queen.

Science: We looked at Mollusks (snails, slugs,oysters, etc) and Cnidarians (pronounced ni-DARE-ee-ans) - jellyfish, anemones, coral. The boys liked all those gooey animals!

Lang Arts: Sean is working on a very large Library Research report on the Alamo. We took a trip to the library, got our library cards, and learned some library skills for everyone this week.
Ryan, on top of going to the library, began learning the rules to making nouns plural.

Reading: Ryan finished reading Chalk Box Kid this week.

And Sean began The Matchlock Gun.

P.E.: Last but not least we had our weekly PE class. The boys are continuing with their Soccer drills and games. They're really enjoying it!
