Benjamin finished up week 12 mid-December, just getting around to recording it. He is doing well. He tries to get away with doing the minimum most of the time (who doesn’t) so I have to push him a little, but he gets it done.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Benjamin has a devotional called The BBC Manual<\/strong> and has been reading a book called How to Stay Christians in High School<\/strong>. He has his own daily reading and weekly memory work. Sometimes he chooses to use his youth group memory work. He has a goal to read the whole bible in 2023 so we have a little chart he is filling out.<\/p>\n

In history\/social studies, our spines are The Story of the World: Early Modern Times<\/strong> and Usborne Encyclopedia 12,000 Years of World History<\/strong>. Benjamin does a current event assignment once a week using World Kids\u00a0<\/em>magazine.<\/p>\n

Reader alouds this unit were The Sherwood Ring<\/strong>. We also have poetry selections each week from Classic Poetry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For language we have\u00a0Sequential Spelling 4<\/strong>\u00a0for spelling, a cursive assignment each week just to stay in practice, vocabulary with\u00a0Wordly Wise 3000, Book 7<\/strong>, and a creative assignment each week.<\/p>\n

This unit Benjamin read\u00a0Escape Across the Wide Sea.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Science this year is a fun set of books. We are using Robotics<\/strong> for experiments for now. He is also reading through Super Cool Tech<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Benjamin is working through Horizons Pre-Algebra<\/strong> this year and picks up new concepts well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We are streamlining our extras as Hannah and Benjamin’s schedules are getting more full. All the kids finished up karate with purple belts in Dec and we are taking a break. We closed out our time with Royal Rangers at WFA because we started up a youth and children’s group at ALC but we hope to do some combined events. Benjamin finished up his ukulele lessons in December also. He is focusing on basketball for now – go number 43. Ben is still our main audio\/video tech for church and does a great job making sure everything is ready for each service. He has a part time job watching a little 1 yo once a week and does cleaning for me at Connections occasionally. We still try to see family every so often. We had a combined birthday party at Kalahari with the Millers in November, Diltz’ came up for a game and Ben’s birthday, we saw the Moehrings for Thanksgiving and celebrated Grandpa Diltz’ 70th birthday. We also got a new puppy at the beginning of December that is taking up a lot of energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
