Joel finished up week 30 last week. 6 weeks left! We should finish mid-July.
Joel has decided he wants to finish Ranger Kids so we have started doing that for family devotions. For school, Joel has a devotional book called The Ology and a bible memory assignment each week.
In history/social studies, we have a book called Around the World with Kate and Mack which we read about a culture without a bible in their language each week. We also add to our timeline on Fridays. We have The Usborne Book of World History and Child’s History of the World as our history spines this year. This unit we read the section about Rome in Usborne Time Traveler.
For Read Alouds we read Babe the Gallant Pig (and watched the movie) and Detectives in Togas. We have National Geographic Book of Animal Poetry for our weekly poetry selections.
Reading / LA has a cursive assignment, weekly spelling test, grammar sheets with Explode the Code 6, and vocabulary practice with Wordly Wise A, and a weekly creative assignment.
Joel finished Greg’s Microscope, Hill of Fire, Frog and Toad All Year, Daniel’s Duck, Amelia Bedelia, and Nate The Great as school reading and then read for additional time in the Magic Tree House series.
Joel’s Science B books have been mainly Usborne World of Animals. He has been doing experiments in Discover and Do 1st Grade with Ginny. His lab book is Usborne Coding for Beginners Using Scratch and he enjoys his coding assignments.
Joel is on track with Horizons Math 2.
We had some fun family activities this unit. Nate and kids went to Boca Chica to watch Starship launch and met some of the Moehrings there, we drove to Kentucky for Grace’s graduation, and we had a weekend in Center Point for Mother’s Day. Joel also got to go to PowWow with his Royal Ranger buddies. We have had a good amount of Connections parties, events, and crafts as well as church activities.
