Week in Review ~ Week 7

~Family Accomplishments~

~Still working on Article of Faith #4
~Finished Magic Tree House #10: Ghost Town at Sundown
~Discovered we need a new way to teach responsibility and chores around here! Accountable Kids is one I stumbled upon yesterday...Anyone have any experiences with it?
~We also need a computer based Math Curriculum for when Dreambox is finished (it is only K-3)! Any ideas?
~OK...here is one that is not really an "accomplishment" but is kind of fun: We ordered The Muppet Show from Netflix and my kids really love "Mahna Mahna"!

Ladybug and Monkey watching "Mahna Mahna"

~Unicorn's Accomplishments~

~Worked on shapes and measurement in Math

~Stated that Latin is her favorite subject!

~Finished notebooking pages for Delaware


~Started notebooking pages for Pennsylvania

~Finished Ben and Me

~Continuing to read Shh! We're Writing the Constitution.

~Finished notebook page on Spinner Dolphin

~Worked on "Unit 6 - The Church Grows" in Hands-on Church History



~Went to Activity Days and finished an entry in her journal (that they made 2 weeks ago) and learned about good manners and courtesy. For the first entry in their journal the girls made Bioglyphs.
The round face means female. The 2 long curly strands of hair mean that she was born in February and that she has long red hair. The 29 freckles indicate she was born on the 29th day of the month. The circular eyes mean she has perfect vision and the eyes looking to the side mean she has blue eyes. Her eyebrow shape indicates that her favorite color is purple. The shape of her nose means she walks to school (from the kitchen to our school room). Her necklace doesn't have any charms because she is not involved in any sports, clubs or groups. She has a right ear because she has brothers and a left ear because she has a sister. The one dot on the lower part of her left ear is because her sister is younger than her and the 2 dots on the lower part of her right ear is because her brothers are younger (for those of you who don't know Unicorn has a half-brother from her father's remarriage). Her mouth indicates that she loves art and her cheeks indicate that she loves chocolate ice cream and mint ice cream. Her 1 eyelash indicates that she has 1 pet.

****After I finished this post, Unicorn decided she wasn't done for the week. Click HERE to see what else she did! You will also find the Legend for the Bioglyph!

  1. Great week! Where did you get your notebooking pages for the states? We're doing states this year too and I like the looks of them. Thanks!!

  2. I did order Accountable Kids at a recent book fair. I have not implemented here. Only because my two year old will want to participate as well and I did not purchase an extra set. So though I still plan to implement the system I need something that works well with multiple children. So I am continuing to do our charts on the fridge and I got a pack from the company Doorpost which is helping us with character development.

  4. As far as a Math curriculum on the computer, we have just started using Switched on Schoolhouse with one of our kids but I can't really say much about it as far as a recommendation because it's new to us.

    The notebooking pages look great.
