Week of April 16 Homeschool Wrap-Up
Theme for our studies this week…. We’ve been studying North Dakota and South Dakota, as well as birds. The story of immigrants from Norway was incorporated into our studies.
A great book/s we read…. Jaden and I read Lulu the Big Little Chick. It was such a cute story about a little chick who wanted to be independent and live far, far away from her mother; in the end, she realized how much she needed her mother. Jacob also read Flat Stanley’s Worldwide Adventures: The Mount Rushmore Calamity. He read it in one afternoon, so it must have been good.
One lesson or interesting fact we learned….We learned that a hummingbird weighs less than a penny, and their eggs are smaller than a dime.
We had a lightbulb moment this week…. Jacob’s been learning measurements and distances; I think he’s finally starting to grasp conversions.
As Mom/teacher, I found this week to be…. honestly, pretty good. Jacob was able to get his work done efficiently most days and not have a ton of “homework” bogging him down. I give him time limits, and he sometimes will have homework in English or Math, so he does that while I’m making supper. It just helps him to walk away from it and come back a bit refreshed, and he can usually grasp things better.
A favorite hands-on project…. We made honey peanut butter balls in history this week. Also did a couple of science experiments involving air.
Favorite extracurricular activity (if any this week)…. Last weekend we went go karting for Jacob’s birthday. It was a blast!

We laughed when…. probably mostly at Jaden this week. He’s our resident funny guy, and he comes up to us and tries to just get us to laugh all the time.
Craft idea for this week…. Dan and I made a Tron Legacy raceway/board game for the boys this week. They love it! This is something you could easily make with kids.
I am praying for my children to…. be grateful.
I am learning to…. be grateful myself.
My favorite new resource is…. Love the Backyard Safari toys that we got Jacob for his birthday. They have such a great line of toys that help kids to explore their world.
