The Earth and Sun
The Earth and the Sun turn and burn. February went by so quickly that I didn’t even finish posting for January and poof it was gone! I’m playing catch up this week though, so our week 22 is for the week ending January 27th! The kids had already learned that the sun […]

Moon Study
This week (ending Jan. 20) we did a moon study! I came up with a clever way for the kids (and me, to be honest) to remember if the moon was waxing or waning. ‘Before the full moon it’s right, and after the full moon is what’s left.’ So before a full moon, it’s […]

Weekly Wrap-Up Week 20: Stars- A week long study in outer space

January 13, 2017 by Jill Leave a Comment

We broke into this new semester slowly by watching E.T. and going outside to count the stars. At dinner we did our A-Z about ‘topic’ sheet and they blew me away with the terms they knew! Unfortunately it was too cloudy to see the stars and we had to break out a star chart (see […]

More Dinosaurs
This week the kids focused on their sticker workbooks, a great find from Target (see resources). These they could easily do on their own at ages 5 and 8! The 5 year old had a bit of trouble with some of the stickers, but otherwise it worked out fine. They do 4-6 pages a […]

Sick Dinosaurs
Our kids, at least part of them are extinct. I mean sick. Sick dinosaurs. So sad. We had one day totally off and had a relaxed week otherwise. I let them take longer to get ready, let them read a lot, play math games on their tablets and took a slow week. The dinosaurs […]
