In my life this week…things have gone fairly smoothly. I really like not having a full calendar.
In our homeschool this week…we had a very good week.
Unicorn finished reading Little Women
(we get to watch the movie now), started a 2 month free trial of ALEKS for math, did a couple lessons in Latin, practiced writing invitations and thank you notes and practiced her math facts, spelling and states at BigIQKids.com.
Ladybug started learning about < and > in math, wrote a story about hugs, used BigIQKids.com to start learning her math facts and to practice her spelling words and started using ReadingEggs.com for reading. She also did BFIAR with Monkey.
Monkey started BFIAR this week with We're Going on a Bear Hunt
. He acted out the story (fine arts), counted things in the story (math), learned about mud and other parts of nature (science), talked about family (social studies) and answered questions about the story (comprehension). He also did some letter "E" and number "3" activities as well as read about Eels, Elephants, Eagles, and the Emerald Tree Boa.
As a Family we learned about Jacob and Esau and Jacob's Family (religion). We also started a lapbook for If the World Were a Village
(social studies).

My favorite thing this week was…that the girls had a play-date this week.
What’s working/not working for us…our routine (finally and for now)! ;)
Things I’m working on…budgeting my computer time. I spend too much time on social media and my email.
I’m reading…I finished the 2nd Harry Potter
book!
book!I’m grateful for…the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life and the comfort it brings me when tragedies occur in life.
I’m praying for…my step-brother's wife and her family. Her 2nd youngest sister died this week leaving 2 VERY young children without a mother.
