Our week, reviewed

9/27/2014

 
Picture
Our week went a bit different than anticipated.   Monday we headed to London early so we didn't do a lot of schooling beyond "lad, make sure you do your page in our reading book".  (which he did in the car on the way to London).

The lad complained mightily about the need to do so until he chilled out and just did it.  They take perhaps 5 minutes to do per page and he totally gets to choose what page he does, so it does work for him.  He loves it if I do the reading for him, so when he does it in the car it takes that aspect away from him.  :)  (sneaky aren't I?)  :)
The remainder of Monday was filled with hanging out with Gramma and going to see some friends of him with her.  They had a whole lot of fun together.
Tuesday, oh my what did we do Tuesday oh right.. we did computer work.  UberSmart (fives times tables are now down pat, working on 6x's).   CTC Math (Mom, I'm starting to understand division now!), Picking our hymn of the week and listening to it play through via YouTube.    This week we are doing Rock of Ages.

Ah, we also started to work on the lad's "Boy Shed".   It took us a couple of days to get it complete, but today he was able to move most of his bug containers out into it.  Took him a full hour to do it, which earned him more time on the xbox.  :)   It was really sweet of some friends of our to give him a couple of shelves to put up in it for storage.  I may need to make him another shelf as well, he's waiting to see how it all fits in well.
On Wednesday we were unexpectedly called into to work at the Food Bank.  We've been wanting to help out there for a while now, and well... we got our chance.  We were able to help stock shelves, sort for expired food items, and generally make ourselves very useful.   The lad asked "When can we go again mom?  Can we go every week?".   So I may look into doing that.  :)   I have to admit to being a bit hesitant to commit to going every single week so I need to talk with the organizers for a bit and see how we work it if he's ill or we need to be away or just what we can do.

When we got home we did some work onMapping with Art.    We did another map, this one of the Nile River, I'll have to link that in later as right now I am not sure where I downloaded it to.  :)  We also did some work out of our bible books.   
Picture
I know we did something on Thursday.. book work i think, and finished up our mapping (doing compass and protractor work).   Then I just needed to get away from it all for a bit so I headed out for the afternoon.  The lad and his dad hung out at home together and I just got away.  I tried to find some dress pants but nothing suit me well and the salesperson was grumpy so I said "fine" and just left.   Had a nice talk with hubby's mom for a bit so that made it worthwhile.  :)

Friday was HOPE days so we headed off for that.  I'm teaching a class on survival skills and yesterday was our fire day.  :)   The children had so much fun learning how to light a fire, first with a flint and steel and then with matches.  They learned to make a signal fire and a small heat fire.  They really wanted to roast marshmallows but the church we were at wanted small fires not a bigger one.

Overall it was a good week.  I'll be linking up this post over atLisa's.

Sometimes you just need those ME moments and have to get away. I don't get many of them but when I do I really enjoy them. I love the boy shed! From what I am reading your son is really into bugs. The hymnn was beautiful. Our week was pretty different and I hope ours can go back on track next week.

It does indeed sound like you had a good week. I love the variety in your school week...some hands-on, some book work, some out of the house, some in the house...

Phyliss.. variety is important here. Doing the same thing all the time makes the lad and I quite grumpy. :) Change keeps us on our toes and more interested in learning.

I wish I could have been at your fire day - I don't know a THING about starting fires, let alone those from flint. :)
