Clownfish Adventures Lapbook and the Diorama!
Well since we had some unexpected time with just Declan and I ( well Noah was here doing his work and Taejan was happily playing without big sis bossing him around) we took advantage, got our normal lessons ( ya know those pesky subjects like Math, Phonics and Handwriting) out of the way and jumped into finishing off the Diorama and the Clownfish Adventures Lapbook! I am so glad I decided to buy this unit..Declan loved how it was about a movie..he loved yet it was learning too.. it was sweet the way he took to this unit!
So here’s my Karate kid with his finished Diorama..
And here is the finished lapbook!
Cover:
Inside.. we opted for a single folder with 2 extensions..I like the way it came out personally!
Well next on the to do list is Down on the Farm…I have a LOT of extra activities for that one so it should be a ton of fun!!! We won’t go visit the farm since Robin just had the baby..but since we’ve been to one..oh a bazillion times I’m not worried..they know what one looks like..LOL
Let’s Travel to…Japan!
Today was our HSing groups monthly Let’s Travel day.. we went to Japan and the kids had a blast. They made fish, ate seaweed, spoke Japanese..and of course played.. there was like 28 kids and 7 moms? It was unreal fun though!
The Littles playing!
Some of the moms!
Let’s learn!
More Littles playing:
Chopsticks and rice! Personally I think we need to have Chopsticks at EVERY one of our get together’s!
the 3 musketeers .. can you guess which one got a window open??Mine of course! He may be the smallest but don’t under estimate him!
Declan and Olivia.. I think they still had some Tournament spunk in them!
oh and somehow I went to Nancy’s with 4 kids and left with 3!! Hum…. Thanks to Melissa my daughter got so have a great afternoon and a much needed break from her brother’s!
Declan and I took advantage though and did a done of schooling!!!
Sonlight or Ambleside Online?
Anyone reading use either? I am trying to make some decisions….
Weekly preview
We have a pretty nice week coming up! Declan will hopefully finish up his Ocean unit and we can decided if we are doing Dinosaurs,Weather or Down on the Farm next. Noah will finish up his 2nd unit of Machines for Science on Switched on Schoolhouse then begin his Simple Machines Lapbook from Hands of a Child. He will continue with his American Revolution one and take his first plunge into notebooking for History.. he seems totally ok with me throwing that at him..so we’ll see!
Monday is Travel Day with the HSing group.we’ve been unable to make most of them this year so we really want to. After that we will drop off another frozen meal to Robin and the family then head to Karate. Noah doesn’t have Culinary so that makes things easier for me!
Tuesday is Noah’s class in NY then Karate for him at 6:15. If all goes well Declan and Ziah will get some lessons in in the afternoon!
Wednesday I don’t think we have anything to do outside of the house so it will be a PACKED day of schooling. Noah has MMA at 7:30
Thursday Ziah has dance and Noah has the library then lots of schooling I hope! Noah and Declan both have Karate tonight.
Friday we have our first HS’ers park day if the weather is nice enough..I hope it is. We have Brock again so he’ll come with us! I hope to spend the afternoon doing more schooling.
Noah has less than 3 weeks now until he leaves for Michigan.. he has completed his Language Arts for the year, is almost done with his Science, he has a bit more math to do, History will go until we have to turn in his end of the year paperwork..but with more time freed up during the day we will likely get thru the 1800’s to the early 1900’s before we are ready to take summer break! His portfolio is up to date so once he;s done it’s just a matter of turning it in and writing 2 Letter’s of Intent and waiting for approval! I can’t believe I am already near that step again!!
Declan strikes again!
Well Sir Declan is on the front page of the Berkshire’s section of today’s paper..in color!! here’s the picture,,,this is just after his sparring was over but before he knew he’d one first place!
