Joel also finished up week 12 before the Christmas break. Catching up on recording this week. \ud83d\ude09 He does well, gets a little frustrated when he gets something new that he has to ‘learn’ but we’ll keep working on that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Joel has a devotional book called The Ology<\/strong> that we are enjoying as well as a bible memory assignment each week. We also do family devotions together to kick off our morning most of the time.<\/p>\n

In history\/social studies, we have a book called Around the World with Kate and Mack<\/strong> which we read about a culture without a bible in their language each week. We also add to our timeline on Fridays. We have The Usborne Book of World History<\/strong> and Child\u2019s History of the World<\/strong> as our history spines this year. We studied ancient Egypt this unit and did a section of The Usborne Time Traveler<\/strong>. We also read Tut’s Mummy: Lost and Found <\/strong>right before the anniversary of its discovery so we watched some news articles about that.<\/p>\n

For Read Alouds we read\u00a0Mr. Poppers Penguins<\/strong> (and watched the movie),\u00a0Owls in the Family<\/strong>,\u00a0and Henry Huggins<\/strong>.\u00a0We have\u00a0National Geographic Book of Animal Poetry<\/strong>\u00a0for our weekly poetry selections.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Reading \/ LA has a cursive assignment, weekly spelling test, grammar sheets with Explode the Code 4<\/strong>, and vocabulary practice with\u00a0Wordly Wise A<\/strong>, and a weekly creative assignment. Joel is currently reading\u00a0The Beginner\u2019s Bible<\/strong> to me and he also read Surprises<\/strong> and Pompeii Buried Alive<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Joel\u2019s Science B has been going pretty well. It is nice and light and covers a lot of topics. He read\u00a0Magic School Bus: At the Waterworks <\/strong>and What is the World Made Of. <\/strong>He started\u00a0reading DKfindout! Earth<\/strong>. He has been doing experiments in Discover and Do 1st Grade<\/strong> with Ginny, and reading selections from See How It\u2019s Made\u00a0<\/strong>each week.<\/p>\n

Joel does well in math. He is on track with\u00a0Horizons Math 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Extras are exciting of course. Joel wrapped up piano lessons in December and had a recital. He’s moving on to drums. \ud83d\ude09 All the kids finished out karate with purple belts in December testing. We had all the church and Connections events. Joel still is mostly a participant but he gets to help with lots of prep work. He also gets to go to all of Hannah and Benjamin’s games. We got Frodo the puppy in December and Joel has some responsibilities with him and since Joel is still a puppy, they play well together. We try to fit in family time. We had a birthday party in Austin with the Millers, Bandera Thanksgiving with the Moehrings, and celebrated Grandpa Diltz’ 70th birthday as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
