Weekly Report: Week 24
It’s been a busy, fun week!
Lacy the WonderDog helped Lindsey with her Switched-On Schoolhouse algebra.
Wednesday night at church, Kathryn met several missionaries and learned about their work in other countries; this is part of missions week at our church. This also completed what she needed to do to earn another GA’s badge.
This week, Lindsey started her first job: she’ll be babysitting one day a week for a family with two little girls. Great practice for homemaking and caring for children, plus she can start learning to manage money.
Kathryn finished filling her gem jar for chores, so we girls went to have frozen yogurt as fulfillment of the goal attached to filling her jar. Yummy!
We’ve continued on with U.S. geography study state by state, and we’re continuing on with our early American history study through literature.
The highlight of our week was a field trip to the Georgia Aquarium to go along with our biology study of marine animals! Kathryn asked if she could start a little cross-stitch project she’s had for a while since it’s a dolphin; she’s almost done with it already! Handiwork to go with biology — cool!
Be sure to visit Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers to see what other families have been doing in their homeschools this week!
Wife, mom, J-ma. Introvert who enjoys good books, sunshine, and authentic conversation. Often seen with a steaming mug of tea in hand – unless it’s lost yet again in the microwave. Read more »
Sounds like a fun week! Love the gem jar (and her smile).
Sounds like a fun week…especially the field trip. Weather permitting, we’ll be taking a long overdue field trip next week. It’s time for some homeschool fun!
Fun fun. Lots of neat things going on. Love reading what you guys are doing!
Jamie, your youngest is so cute! My nine year old has the exact same jar with clear gems in it for her reward system. Funny. I enjoyed reading about your week.
I see that Lacy is mathematically inclined; glad she’s there to help Lindsey with algebra. I could have used her, back in the day. 🙂
Lots of super-fun things going on over there. Blessings galore!
K. has grown up so much! She is all smiles!
Although it might be an incredible amount of work for you, and you can graciously decline if you wish, I would LOVE to have your list of Early American literature that you have used and liked. We will be doing US History next fall (a 9th grader and 2nd grader) and although our base will be America: The Story of Us (video series from The History Channel) we will also be reading living books that go along with that particular time period and notebooking. I like to have an arsenal of books others have used and enjoyed. My 16 year… Read more »
First jobs are exciting! Yah, for her. Looks like a great week. Thanks for sharing.
