Homeschool Daily Newspaper has lots of great articles to read.

Apple Mummifications looks like a fun project. I want to try this one, too.

Recycled Newspaper Crafts – great projects, that don’t look like they are just recycled paper.

Fishing For Knowledge – is a fun learning game to make. We actually have used this before. Lots of fun that can be customized to what your learning.

Here’s a Rosetta Stone Giveaway to enter.

Hope you found some links you can use!

My daughter has the book Tiny Treats from the American Girl Collection and it has some really cute tiny foods they can make. Abby decided to make a cake out of pop-tarts that was in the book.

She only put sprinkles on half the “cake” so for those that didn’t want them. She used 3 pop-tarts and vanilla frosting layered. She had fun making it, and sharing it!

All in all, we had a good week. We will, however, be glad when the colds stop visiting our house!

Wrapping Up The Week

The highlight of our homeschool week was snow… and more snow….and more snow. And the cold! Today finally got above freezing. Is winter over yet?

 

I think the cats are telling me to get rid of the snow!

Oh, yes, we have yet another cold running rampant through the house. That makes for some pretty miserable kids.

Normally, we let the sick child have off school. Since we’ve had one cold after another for several months now, I’m wondering if I should rethink this. Of course, the kids are not. lol

Despite the sickness, and the snow day that we had on Wednesday when Dad was home because he couldn’t get out to work, we did manage to get some school work done.

The living room continues to be the favorite room in the house for working.

She looks warm and cozy.

We finished the 3-D puzzle from that we started last week. We now have another puzzle started on the schoolroom table.  We like having one out  all the time. People (including Mom & Dad) go over when ever whenever they feel like working on it. More often than not, when one person is working, others come join the fun.

Wrapping Up The Week

Our first week of homeschool for the year has gone quite well. There were only a couple of instances at the beginning of the week with attitudes and not wanting to work.

I had one student that has been trying to get out of school work by cleaning her room. That is quite the dilemma. Do I let her keep cleaning her room that so desperately needs it, or do I make her stop cleaning and do her schoolwork. hmmmmm…….

Well, her floor can now be seen. lol She did also complete most of her school work. A win-win situation. 🙂

I’m participating in the Read the Bible in 90 Days Challenge that started Monday. What has made this even more exciting, is that my two teenagers are participating in the challenge also! The daily readings take about 45 minutes. Then they have to spend at least 30 minutes studying their Bible Drill memory verses.  My daughter actually spends closer to an hour studying. So a good portion of their morning is devoted to the Bible.

The younger two kids have to spend 30 minutes studying their Bible Drill verses every day as well. They are in the same group this year, so they are able to study together. It’s really cute seeing them study together. Until they start fighting. lol

The kids started a puzzle last weekend. So all week, they could be found at the school room table working on it. I normally work on puzzles, too. But this one is hard. Hard on the eyes. It’s a 3D puzzle, and it hurts my eyes just looking at it, never mind trying to find pieces. But the kids and their father are enjoying it.

Overall, it’s been a nice, peaceful 1st week back to school.
