In case any of you were wondering what our homeschooling day looks like, I thought I’d share a snippet.Yesterday, Leslie (4th grade) was taking a spelling test and Matthew (age 4) wasn’t really doing anything. I thought it would be fun to have him give the spelling test! Since he can’t read yet, I had …
We usually do some traveling on this holiday, but this year, we just stayed home. I missed seeing my family very much, but there were good things about staying home. We made some great memories. I am hoping that I can “have my cake and eat it too” by seeing my family in the coming …
Last Sunday evening was Mitchell’s spring recital at Cameron University, a four-year university in our town. He is enjoying taking lessons at the Academy of Music where they have many students taking lessons in piano, voice, trumpet, clarinet, flute, oboe and guitar. The recital lasted two hours and included forty-seven different songs! Mitch didn’t play …
We finally did the experiment from Chapter 10, about Saturn, from the Apologia Astronomy book. (We incorrectly say it’s the Chapter on Uranus and Neptune in the video. Sorry ’bout that.) We are now on chapter 12, so I was a little behind on this one! I kept forgetting to do it, or Terry wasn’t …
Leslie Anne is currently studying Apologia’s Astronomy book. There have been several cute experiments this year. Here are some of the latest ones. First, we created a hurricane, to resemble the massive one on Jupiter. The second video is where we made a cloud, similar to Uranus and Neptune. Leslie with her hurricane setup. Before …
I was going through some photos on my phone and came across several videos, too. I had recorded the kids quoting their poems back in September, but never did anything with the video. I wanted to share them here so I’d have them. The poems are from the Abeka spelling, vocabulary and poetry books for …
Mitchell had his first recital in Oklahoma last night! Lauren has taken a break from lessons, and sadly, she was still too sick to even get to be at his recital. I am thankful I could record it, not only for myself and our family far away, but for Lauren. The video below is missing …
I apologize for sharing so many of these redundant science experiment posts. My blog’s first purpose is to keep in touch with friends and family far away, so I try to share news from our lives. I realize the average person probably thinks that it’s just…well, boring. Pretty soon I will be caught up, and …
I am still working hard to bring my blog up to speed, and that includes sharing some of our science fun from our homeschool days. We are using Apologia science for all the kids this year. My oldest is using the Physical Science, my 6th grader is using the elementary Chemistry and Physics in the …
Hello, and happy Monday! I just wanted to pop in and show a brief video of Mitchell’s latest science experiment. He is using Apologia’s Young Explorer series, the newest book in the series, which is Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics by Jeannie Fulbright. This experiment was particularly fun! 🙂
