First off I need to say thank you to Homeschool Freebie of the day for introducing us to Classics for Kids. My son is thoroughly enjoying them. So far we've listened to Bach and Mendelssohn. On Wednesday my son did a good part of the worksheet they provide as well... Verbally as that's what he was up to. :)
This week has been busy with fixing a truck (dad did this). On Monday was homeschool gym. We needed to go into London early for dad to fix the truck so rather then just sit around, much to my son's chagrin we did some of our bookwork. Not as much as I wanted to as he fought me on it, but enough to say we did something. Then off to gym where he worked on ropes and rock climbing skills.

We've done work this week with IXL, CTC Math, Essential Skills,Veritas Press and Standard Deviants. The picture below is from Standard Deviants. My son actually asked if we could do this today. :) We are learning about the plates of the earth and how they move.. causing mountains and volcanoes and what not.
We also did some STEM work. A while back I picked up some K'Nex Education Kits and we started work on them this week. First up.. a paddle boat. My son wanted to get it to float and therefore managed to do so. :)
We fit in volunteering at the Food Bank (which was good but rather slow) and tried to volunteer at the Rummage Sale, but they didn't need us there :( Skating twice this week with two different homeschool groups which was fun. No time this week for going to museums. :( There is always next week though so that will be nice.
Oh, and we had some time to go visiting with friends of ours. Their son managed to bunge up his foot a bit so was unable to go skating with us. Visiting for a bit was goo to do. Gave my son a chance to really see that his friend would be okay.
