Math Joe worked on lesson # 7 . Again today he didn't want to do school. It wasn't very pleasant. He didn't finish his lesson today

Nate and Eli worked on Lesson 46 and did addional math worksheets. Eli is working on addition, Nate on subtraction.

LA

Nate and Eli both read from 100 EZ reading lessons. Nate is tromping right along, his cadence is slow and steady but he's getting it. He read a big Bob book today, and he's starting to read a little on his own.

I skipped reading with Joe. Math was painful so I just had him read silently rather than working on grammar

Thursday

Today is recovery from Wednesday (our busy day) and I have a dentist appt.

Bible
Luke 9:37-45
Prov 20: 1, 2 & 3
We had a long discussion about what it means to feel safe and peaceful in our home. We've had a lot of quarreling. I told the boys that because they can't be trusted not to quarrel they have to be close to me more often.

History

I read about Napoleon to the boys today. Good stuff, the stuff made for little boys.
And that is where we stopped today. More tomorrow!

Wednesday

Today was CC....the boys and I love CC!

I'll take pics of their neat art paintings and post them soon

Tuesday*Mom is getting a cold. :(

It's amazing. I've been homeschooling for about 4 years now and all along I've been waiting for days to resemble one another. Just one. predictable.day, I've been waiting for it. Well, it's finally, at long last happening. The days are predictable and we are starting to fall into a routine. Amazing. The boys are old enough, I guess. I know life will change, but this is a nice pace.

Bible

Luke 9:1-17 & Discussion

Scripture memory work

Math

Nate & Eli trudge through a few math worksheets, and I teach them Lesson #45 from the Saxon book. I don't have a workbook, but since my teachers guide shows the problems and answers I teach them on the board and we count money, look at the calendar and the clock. Easy Peasy.

Joe, on the other hand is not wanting to school today. He gets to head off to his room until he's ready to "work diligently." He knows it's expected and necessary, if unpleasant today. Math.

Presentations

Joe and Nate tell the Aesop's Fable they'll tell in class tomorrow. Eli struggles with it, doesn't want to tell the story. I wonder if it's too big a concept. I pull out googly eyes and look for popsicle sticks to make puppets, visual aids to help to tell the story. I can't find popsicle sticks so we'll find some in the backyard to hold our puppets. Nate & Eli choose the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, we create our puppets and when all are finished I'll put on a puppet show to help give the boys ideas how to tell the story with their puppets tomorrow.

Joey comes back downstairs, gets a snack (maybe he didn't eat enough breakfast?) and declines puppet making but instead begins on Math, reading aloud to me his work while I fold laundry. I'm not listening too much unless he asks for help but reading aloud seems to do the trick today. He finished with little trouble.

Now the boys are on the trampoline, I feel crummy like I'm coming down with a cold. I have to prepare for tomorrow anyhow, so maybe we'll do easy reading, Joe can finish his final draft and I'll get a little nap in there before gymnastics at 4:00.

Lunch time.

*We've still been reading On the Banks of Plum Creek and I've been neglecting my copy of Story of the World. I'll pull that out today, maybe even read a little if I feel up to it.

Monday

CC

Week 14 :)

Presentation Prep

This weeks' presentations are from Aesop's Fables. We must listen, then retell a story. We're listening at Story Nory and the boys will draw pictures to go along with their presentations.

Thinking I'm going to order 2 Saxon one workbooks and start nate and eli at the same place. I struggle with putting them at the same place, but it's where they can meet in the middle and I think I'll teach a full lesson (this season in Saxon is a mostly teaching) if I can teach them the same stuff. Then hopefully as they become stronger readers I can tailor their lessons moreso.

Langauge Arts

We took language arts to the library.

Eli~ a lesson from the 100 Easy ones

Nate~ He read 1/2 of Green Eggs and Ham

Joe~ Joe added his dress ups to his rough draft....tomorrow for the Final!!
