THUMBS UP

Today was an excellent day. WooHoo!

First I want to say that I've been reading to them every night for the past few nights.

This morning I read a little about Columbus and a math story book. We sat down and did a few booklets from www.homeschoolshare.com . They were 'where are the oceans', 'Where is the Atlantic ocean', and 'Where in the world is Spain'. We also put C.C. and Leif Ericson in their timeline books.

Ana did her letter/sounds binder and Katie did her science. She loved it. It is the free one listed on her homeschool list, left sidebar. I made notebook pages and have booklets all ready in a binder. We just pulled up the Unit we are working on (on the computer) sat down, read and she wrote and did the pages. I'll post tomorrow some pictures. Nothing spectacular but maybe it will give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

Katie also finished 2 sides of a math page (easy today) and wrote her Bible verse. She needs to read her bible after dinner.

Tom did his work and started with his science (free one listed on his homeschool list; left sidebar). He enjoyed the first experiment. It was with m&m's. The girls like it also. I thought they tasted good. ~LOL~
The next few experiments are with m&m's also.

Tom is now enjoying a nice swim with his brother at a friends house and we went to the park for awhile. Ana made a new friend. ~smile~

Becca did her ambulance run today.

Now I off to do laundry including the laundry that's been hanging outside for 2 days. ~LOL~

Have a good night.
