October '09 - Week 2

Schedule Changes

With the addition of foster children, our lives have changed quite a bit. Our current extra kiddos are both toddlers and we found it necessary to move some of our Scholar Phase lessons to be in the afternoon during quiet time (which is not so quiet). Our Core Phase lessons of Right and Wrong, True and False, and Good and Bad are taking precedence in the mornings in addition to our family readings. These core phasers need a LOT of teaching in these lessons.

Together Lessons

Devotional
- "Let Him Ask of God" daily inspirational readings.

Government/History - "The 5,000 Year Leap" by Cleon Skousen :: Principle #3 - "Story of the World" -Volume 2

Science - Friction - Usborne Science Encyclopedia - pages 124-125 - Concepts and Challenges in Physical Science - Chapter 2.5

Family Projects -
  • Reading: "On the Shores of Silver Lake"
  • Watching: "Little House on the Prairie" TV series
  • Log Splitting: We are using an axe or wedge and hammer now to split wood.
