Week in review 7/29/2011

 

I am going to try to post our week in review more often. 

 

 

This week we spent some time boating and celebrating, then Tommy headed off for scout camp. 

We spent some time on a soap slip and slide.

 

We did manage to fit a little learning in. 

I found some Bingo markers at the dollar store, he loves the letter “t”.  I had him Bingo mark a few pages from Making Learning Fun.  He has also been doing some art projects, coloring, and playing with cars. 

 

We got our Usborne book order in and the kids have really been loving their new things.

 

Katey got the addition wrap ups.  She has been loving those.  The hardest part has been learning to maneuver the string around. 

She has been moving right along in ' target=_blank>Hooked On Phonics level 2, and ' target=_blank>Explode the Code.  She also has began some 1st grade worksheets. 

 

Emily got a learning to play the guitar workbook.  She has been practicing every day.  

She has been keeping up with her Summer studies too.  She does ' target=_blank>Life of Fred fractions and Math U See Epsilon every other day.  She also does Botany twice a week, this week she did bark rubbings and how to estimate how tall a tree is.  She has a short writing prompt each day and is reading in Painless Grammar along with reading for pleasure. 

 

This week we also have went swimming, entered the girls 4H stuff in the fair, and they wrote and performed plays with the neighborhood kids. 

Emily and I also made some peanut butter bars for a snack. 

 

Last night we even went to the fair to check out their entries and came home to a surprise.  Those will be blogged about over the weekend. 

 

Thanks for reading.
