Homeschooling Week 12

Last week was such a fun week for us. We started off going to see a theater production of Winnie-the-Pooh downtown Portland with some friends. We have been enjoying the chapter book Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne so this was perfect! We weren't allowed to take photos inside the theater so here is one of our little group in the lobby.


In Bible we are studying Proverbs 13:1 A wise son heeds his father's instruction, but a mocker does not listen to rebuke. Olivia also started memorizing the books of the Old Testament - Genesis and Exodus.

For Reading Olivia is learning that the letter "y" makes the long i and long e sounds as in fly or baby. She is also really enjoying reading aloud from the Bible Reader.

Science is my area of weakness as far as staying on top of library books and experiments. We studied Beaches, Waves, Sea, Seashore, and Shells. Thankfully we spend a lot of time at the beach as a family so it definitely wasn't a new topic. These were are two favorite books from our library basket.



And here is Olivia creating waves with a rope. We noticed that the rope doesn't move forward when there is a wave only up and down. When waves are near the shore, they drag on the ocean floor and that moves the water forward.


We are slowing meanering through MFW K with Drew as he spends 2 days a week at preschool. We are on Lesson 4 Apple: If I stay in Jesus I will have much fruit. Here are a few of Drew making his own applesauce. He LOVES to help me in the kitchen. If I'm cooking, he definitely wants to help. I really let him do the majority of this project himself.




And that's our week!
