2009 - Week 6 - This Week in Homeschooling

I did not get everything on here this week. I was just WAY TOO busy!

I added another portion to our rundown of what we do - educational games! I don't know how I missed adding that before. We consider games to be one of the fun, hands-on things that we do.

I prepared a special presentation on the 4 Levels of Scholar Phase that I shared with my husband and kids this week. It was an eye-opener to me to study this part of Leadership Education and really think about where we all are in these levels. For more, see my post on the 4 Levels of Scholar Phase.

Kid's School:
  • Devotionals - Gospel Principles lesson 13-
  • Classes/Clubs Attended - Principles of Leadership, Discovery Book Club - "The Hound of the Baskerville's" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
  • Read Aloud Book - Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder - Activities we did along with this book: whittling soap, sewing aprons.
  • Educational Games - Phase 10 Dice, Settler's of Catan, Sudoku, Rubik's Cube, Wii Music
  • SAT Prep vocabulary & spelling words - Review last week's words - New Words - vivacious, adept, ambivalent, avarice, cacophony, copious
  • Grammar & Writing - Journal Entries on each book read - The Winston Grammar Program: Basic Level - Word Roots Level A A1 & A2
  • Science - The Human Body Unit - We skipped science this week. It was a busy one!
  • P.E. - Dog walking, kick ball & roller blading at the park.
  • Math
  • Individual Reading
Mom's School:
  • Reading list - Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (still working on this one), The Love Dare (a 40 day challenge so I'll be reading this one every day for awhile - see this movie "Fireproof")
  • Projects - (1) Sewing aprons with the girls - but had some glitches since our sewing machine broke. I am trying to borrow one. (2) Quilting 9-square patterns - we started on this project and plan to work on it for a few weeks. We plan on each of us finishing our own 9-square and making one big quilt. I have saved clothes and things that we hope will make a nice memory quilt. Again, we are looking to borrow a sewing machine to finish.
