week 2

We are getting down a pretty good routine around here, our second week went really well.




We started science this week. I bought them all a magnifying glass, and it didn't take very long for my boys to figure out how to burn leaves with them. :) this was NOT our lesson! We actually separated light rays into a rainbow. It was really cool. ( but apparently not as cool as making fire.) :)


We are still on our unit about the United States. I bought a neat game called Jingo. It's like Bingo with the cards having states instead of numbers, and you have to answer trivia questions about a state. It's fun to play.

We took school pics this week, a couple turned out to be keepers.

I bought little dry erase boards for everyone this week. We used them in the car on days I had to run errands. They would write out sentences and do math problems. Much easier than bringing paper and leaving a mess behind to clean up.

My daughter used hers for art. :)

Another fun thing we did this week was buy an alphabet sign language chart. We used it during our spelling lessons. I use Abeka spelling and poetry, they use a spell -say- spell technique. I thought it would add a little spice to our time. They started using it for everything.....I'm glad I got it.

I'm posting this on Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers website. I love to see everyone's week, it gives me such motivation. Go check out other homeschoolers....
