Joel closed out week 24 in mid-April. He is a pretty go with the flow 2nd grader and gets his work done before lunch most days. We are looking at finishing around the end of July.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We have been doing Ginny’s stars material for family devotions. For school, Joel has a devotional book called The Ology<\/strong> and a bible memory assignment each week.<\/p>\n

In history\/social studies, we have a book called Around 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>\u00a0as our history spines this year.<\/p>\n

For Read Alouds we read The Great Wall of China, Little Pear,<\/b>\u00a0Word of Mouse, <\/strong>and The Year of the Baby<\/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\u00a0Explode the Code 5<\/strong>, and vocabulary practice with\u00a0Wordly Wise A<\/strong>, and a weekly creative assignment. Joel has been working on learning to type as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Joel finished The Beginner\u2019s Bible, Owl at Home, Frog and Toad are Friends, <\/strong>and Mouse Tales<\/strong>\u00a0as school reading and then read for additional time in the Magic Tree House series.<\/p>\n

Joel\u2019s Science B books have been mainly Usborne World of Animals<\/strong>. He has been doing experiments in\u00a0Discover and Do 1st Grade<\/strong> with Ginny, and finished reading from See How It\u2019s Made.\u00a0<\/strong>His new book for Fridays is\u00a0Usborne Coding for Beginners Using Scratch<\/strong> and he is loving making little creations. Hopefully he’ll learn some coding too.<\/p>\n

Joel is on track with\u00a0Horizons Math 2<\/strong>. He likes math and sometimes tries to make the work harder. Doh!<\/p>\n

Joel finished up his drum lessons in February and we haven’t put him in anything else. We’ll probably wait until fall because of all our summer plans. He gets to participate in all our church and Connections events and still manages to have a bit of video game or Youtube time each day.<\/p>\n

During this unit Joel turned 8. We got to go ice skating and he said it was the best birthday ever. We also had a 10 day mission\/tourist trip to Israel. In the photo above Joel is getting to raise the US flag on the boat we were riding in the Sea of Galilee. That was fun. I know he had a good time on the trip, but not sure how much he will remember in the future. He was the youngest team member to ever come work with Shelters of Hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
