Be Still, Have Faith, & Teach On!

It's getting harder and harder to keep everyone focused on school these days.  School time is mostly review this time of year. I told the kids we have to keep working until we finish week 40. So, they are counting the days.  This is what we did get done this week in school: Read Aloud: We are still reading about famous men from the middle ages.  Math: Everyone completed three days of math lessons.  Language Arts: Everyone completed three days of English lessons. History: We are learning about the Renaissance. We learned about Italy, city-states, new inventions, architecture and explorers.  Science: Our science is garden science this time of year. We have been planting, weeding, and watching our garden grow.  We will do a Mel chemistry kit next week though.  Agri: Logan has been working with his dad earning his Agri credit.

We started our week visiting Meme and Papa for Easter. We had a great time. We had school three days this week. Everyone completed three days of math. We are reading stories from The Middle Ages for our read aloud, we read about Thor, The Niebelung, and Justinian The Great.  In history we finished up discussing The Dark Ages.  The kids made illuminated name cards. Everyone also spent time reading this week. We also update our Fridge Fine Art Gallery. Dad had to run errands this week. He bought us lots of flowers and herbs to work with. Then the kids and I got busy planting them. Savannah harvested some of her oregano that was ready. I taught her how to hang it to dry. Dad found a 4 leaf clover this week. I made some decorations for our front porch. Our gardens and animals are all doing very well. That's all for this week!

We found out this week that Dad will be working from home until the end of May. So, our homeschooling is going to look a bit different. He is going to be teaching Logan in his Agri Basic Woodworking Class.  We will also help him whenever he needs help on building fences or store work. We still have not gotten bored with our covid-19 quarantine. There always seems to be plenty of work to do! In school this week: Read Aloud: We read our Holy Week Scriptures every day this week. Math: Everyone completed 3 lessons in math this week. Art: We updated our fridge fine art pictures. History: Since we finished Mystery of History Vol. 1 last week, we did a review over the timeline. Then we moved into studying Medieval History. English: Everyone worked on various assignments in the language arts spectrum this week. It is mostly review time for the year. Agri: Logan worked a couple of days with his Dad building shelves in the store. He did an awesome job!...
