\"\"<\/a>We have gotten into a better school routine since the olders started their new year. I have a goal for us to be home three afternoons a week (which only leaves us one school related outing a week) and that has been helping us to get stuff done as our evenings are pretty full right now with sports.<\/p>\n

Joel joins us for morning devotions where we are reading through the full bible for Hannah’s requirements. We sing his assigned song of the week as well as each of us picking a worship or fun song and pray. We also read a selection from a kids bible as part of Joel’s school time and review a bible verse each week.<\/p>\n

In history\/social studies we have been reading through a book called\u00a0Stories from Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Read Alouds are the fun part. We have weekly selections from A Treasury of Mother Goose Rhymes<\/span>,\u00a0Uncle Wiggily’s Story Book<\/span>,\u00a0The Lion Storyteller Bedtime Book<\/span>, an audio listening activity with\u00a0American Tall Tales<\/span>,\u00a0The Children’s Book of Virtues<\/span>, Stories From Around the World,<\/span> Milly Molly Mandy Storybook,<\/span> art selections from A Child’s Book of Art<\/span>, and poetry selections from Eric Carle’s Animals Animals.<\/span><\/p>\n

We started this set of weeks with no formal reading or LA, and were just watching some Leap Frog movies and playing on some educational games. We did have a workbook we are doing to determine his learning styles, looking over Dr. Seuss’ ABC<\/span>, and a vocabulary book called First Thousand Words<\/span>. But recently Joel declared that he could read now because he knew all the letters and their sounds so we decided to start LAK with him. We have a letter each week and work on its sound and writing the upper case and lower case version. We finished two weeks (letters F and B) so far.<\/p>\n

Science at this level is so much fun. So many things to learn! Joel likes watching the olders do their experiments, but we have some pretty interesting books to read as well. What’s Under the Sea?<\/span> kept us busy for awhile. Joel really likes the deep sea fish! We even watched a Blue Planet episode because he likes angler and hatchet fish. We also read Is the Blue Whale the Biggest Thing There Is?<\/span><\/p>\n
