6 weeks of Eastern Hemisphere left. Ben finished up week 30 at the beginning of June so I am backdating this.<\/p>\n

We enjoy our regular morning devotions. Benjamin also has his own section of scripture to read each day and continues with his memory work on a weekly basis. <\/p>\n

In history\/social studies, our main spine is Journey to the Eastern Hemisphere<\/span>.  We read Living Water in the Desert<\/span>,  Mary Slessor: Into Calabar,<\/span> and A Long Walk to Water<\/span> as missionary stories. We did a unit on Saudi Arabia and Africa. We have a couple selections each week from 100 Gateway Cities. He also stays up with current events with his World Kids <\/em>magazine each week. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Read Alouds included Seven Daughters and Seven Sons<\/span>, and Cornelia and the Audacious Escapades of the Somerset Sisters.<\/span> We also have a poetry reading from All the Small Poems<\/span> a couple times a week. <\/p>\n

In language, we do spelling with Sequential Spelling 3<\/span>, grammar with Keys to Good Language 5<\/span>, and vocabulary with Wordly Wise 3000 \u2013 Book 5<\/span>. He also does a creative assignment each week. I still have him do one assignment a week in cursive to keep that skill.<\/p>\n

For readers this unit, Benjamin read Habibi<\/u>, King of the Wind<\/span>, and A Girl Named Disaster<\/span> to himself. <\/p>\n

Science continues with our anatomy year.  The Usborne Complete Book of the Human Body<\/span>, The Boy’s Body Book<\/span>, and Food and Nutrition for Every Kid<\/span>. He also had a fun book called Improve your Survival Skills<\/span>. Not much in the way of experiments this year.<\/p>\n

Ben is still doing well in Horizons 5<\/span> for math. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Extras keep us happy. Ben seems to enjoy karate twice a week and Royal Rangers. He got a gold trail award in May. We had multiple trips to Bandera to visit Gram and also a trip to Port Aransas with Diltz\/Millers. He got to go to PowWow for Ranger Camp. He also is our tech guy for our worship services at Active Love and sometimes he helps at Connections. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
