Here is some photos of the more mama-directed seat-work lately.
I like to post some pictures here ever once in a while of them doing their work!
It's sort of a school progress memory-blog for them AND for their mama too!
 |
| I'm working on a special post about what Abigail has been up to lately and will save some of those pictures for that post. |
 |
| Andrew is doing the "Explode the Code" books this year. |
 |
| stamped their passports when we "went" to Canada |
 |
| Photo taken during "book basket" time. My basket is full of books that they can use for independent learning that deals with what topic we are on. These would have been picture books of Canada, an atlas book-marked on North America and some books dealing with Northern animals we don't see here in Texas. One book was about caribou. |
 |
| North America + Central America geography game. We have a game page for South America now too. |

This was learning about ground temperature earlier this year. We put two pieces of ice in zip-loc bags. One bag got buried about 6 inches deep and the other stayed on top in the sun. As soon as that piece was melted, we uncovered the buried one and observed what didn't happen to it.
A puppet show "IAA Club" put on for us! It was great!!

Now Andrew is in Tae Kwon Do too!
This is such a great thing for them to all be involved in together! David can't wait to start too, but my rule so far is that you have to be 6 or 7!

Family Trips...

| We interrupted our My Father's World curriculum after we finished studying South America, so that we could do a Texas History unit. Next week we are going to San Antonio to Homeschool Day at Sea World and will visit the Alamo! |

Reading...
 |
| Biography of Cameron Townsend... Our family read-aloud book when we were learning about Mexico and Central America The boys literally went from sitting on the couch to right next to their dad as he was finishing the book. I HAD to take a picture! |
 |
| Biography of Nate Saint... We read this one during our South America unit. It was special to us because our close friends, The Hollingsworths, live in Ecuador. It was fun hearing names of places they've been to and live near as we were reading/listening to this book. |
Working...
Our old house provides plenty of opportunities for the kids to learn to do certain jobs and work with their hands in general.
 |
| I'm pretty sure I posted this one on our other blog, but it is worthy here again. Our three boys, and their buddy, Nathan, had a real JOB this day. They helped Whitley replace a line under the house that he could not have done without them! |
Always learning! It's fun to take breaks and remember ever once in a while too!!
