Joel also finished up week 18 at the beginning of February and mom is still catching up on record keeping. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Joel has a devotional book called The Ology<\/strong>\u00a0that 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

\"\"<\/a>In history\/social studies, we have a book called\u00a0Around the World with Kate and Mack<\/strong>\u00a0which we read about a culture without a bible in their language each week. We also add to our timeline on Fridays. We have\u00a0The Usborne Book of World History<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Child\u2019s History of the World<\/strong> as our history spines this year.<\/p>\n

For Read Alouds we read Ways to Grow Love<\/b>, Greek Myths<\/strong>, and Happy Times in Noisy Village<\/strong>.\u00a0We have\u00a0National Geographic Book of Animal Poetry<\/strong>\u00a0for our weekly poetry selections.<\/p>\n

Reading \/ LA has a cursive assignment, weekly spelling test, grammar sheets with Explode the Code 5<\/strong>, and vocabulary practice with\u00a0Wordly Wise A<\/strong>, and a weekly creative assignment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Joel reads well to himself. He continued with The Beginner’s Bible<\/strong> as school reading and then read for additional time in the Magic Tree House series.<\/p>\n

Joel\u2019s Science B has fun books. He finished\u00a0What is the World Made Of , <\/strong>and Usborne Lift-the-Flap Periodic Table<\/strong>, and Marie Curie’s Search for Radium<\/strong>. He has been doing experiments in\u00a0Discover and Do 1st Grade<\/strong>\u00a0with Ginny, and reading selections from\u00a0See How It\u2019s Made\u00a0<\/strong>each week.<\/p>\n

Joel is on track with Horizons Math 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Extras this unit were drum lessons and typing practice. Joel plays at Connections and is still a participant in all our day camps and crafts at the church. He does his school and chores as quickly as possible so he can go play. He got to attend all of Hannah and Ben’s sporting events and we’ll hopefully find something active for him to do soon. We had one trip to visit Gram this unit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
