24 weeks down, only 12 weeks left! We are scheduled out to the end of June which should be just right for a little break before next year.<\/p>\n

Bible goes well as our start off devotion in the morning. Benjamin is still listening in on Hannah’s Girl’s Ministries work but has been reading selections from Joshua, Judges, Psalms and Proverbs for Core C. He also has a memory verse each week or sometimes a whole chapter spread out over a unit.<\/p>\n

In history\/social studies, we are into all the revolutions for independence around the world after the American Revolution. Our spines are Child’s History of the World<\/u> and Usborne Book of World History<\/u> with some selections from Window on the World<\/u> to learn about other cultures. In this unit we read Good Queen Bess<\/u> and Peter the Great<\/u>, some very nice elementary level biographies. I continue to be impressed by how much geography we get through Geography Songs<\/u> and marking our map each week. Benjamin also adds details to his history timeline at the end of each week.<\/p>\n

Read Alouds have been enjoyable. We read about some early Florida settlers in Strawberry Girl<\/u> and a fantastical balloonist adventure in The Twenty-One Balloons<\/u>. We enjoy our weekly selections of morals and poems from Aesop for Children<\/u> and Cornstalks: A Bushel of Poems<\/u> respectively.<\/p>\n

We are in a pretty good routine for language arts except that Benjamin doesn’t really like creative writing very much. I have to push him to do more than the bare minimum two word sentences. \ud83d\ude42 We have a weekly assignment in cursive, spelling words, vocabulary in Wordly Wise B<\/u>, and grammar in Phonics C<\/u>. Benjamin read Viking Adventure<\/u>, House on Walenska Street<\/u>, and Cora Frear<\/u>. I let him read at his own pace so he also read a good amount of other books in between scheduled reading assignments.<\/p>\n

Science has been focused on a weather during this unit. We are using Eye Wonder Weather<\/u> as our spine and Discover and Do Level 2<\/u> with Science Activities Volume 3<\/u> for our experiments.<\/p>\n

Math goes on steadily with Horizons 3. We started early multiplication and are working on fractions\/decimals now. Benjamin understands the concepts quickly and often makes mistakes because he wants to skip to the answers instead of answering what the worksheet asks for (related to me perhaps?).
\nOnce a week we take a break and do a typing lesson instead.<\/p>\n

Extras are the best part! We have weekly piano, park date, and Royal Rangers. Benjamin finished up his first basketball by scoring points in his last two games. He is excited to play again next winter. We had a few big homeschool group activities this unit. We attended a children’s production of Junie B Jones<\/i>. Benjamin entered a robot creation and a piano piece in our Arts Festival and also placed second in his grade in the Spelling Bee. Benjamin helped at our service project for Royal Rangers and we also had an overnight campout at the Diltz place, some birthday parties, and two Easter egg hunts!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
