Weekly Wrap up

We have had so much fun these last couple weeks!  We have mostly been playing educational games, making lapbooks, and reading good books!  We finished Sophie's space unit study/lapbook, and started a unit study on volcanoes. I found it at www.homeschoolshare.com under free lapbooks. We were inspired to study volcanoes while reading the book The Twenty-One Balloons  by Willian Pene du Bois.  I am doing more with Sophie and Christian together. Christian is joining in our Sonlight read-alouds, and now we are doing a science unit study/lapbook together. We also play a lot of games: card games, word games, board games, online learning games, and homemade games. Kid's can learn and review so much with games!

Homeschool day 33

Andrew has the opportunity to go to a two day debate seminar. Today was the first day and he came home so excited! He got to see many old friends, he said he learned a ton, and many of his questions were answered. And it wasn't just teaching, there was lots of participation-he said it was so much fun. It was overall a great day for him and he was back in time for play practice.
