Its been a busy week here. For science, the girls split up and decided to study different things. Bug-a-bug is studying birds and then trees. Princess decided she wanted to learn abut the ocean. I downloaded two really nice units from Currclick: Simple Schooling: Birds and Simple Schooling:Oceans to start off our study. Both were only $5 each. They worked on several units and really learned alot. It was aot of fun.
TL is working on finishing up his Survival Skills notebooking unit that I got from Hands of a Child. He's enjoying learning about surviving in different types of weather conditions.
For History this week, we worked on a quick review of the first three presidents on our start into the first decade of 1800. We watched the Presidents video from the History Channel and then I downloaded President information sheets and President layer books. They are located on the same link as above, just a little further down. I opted not to make them as books, but use them as a notebooking page.
On Thursday, we started discussing the French Revolution. I make an information page for TL to fill in after reading the information on the Hands of a Child unit. The girls did the lapbooking books. We covered about six of the topics on the French Revolution. Next week, we'll finish up the French Revolution and discuss the Louisiana Purchase; moving forward into our study of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
I hope to place some of my order for next year this week. How's your next year coming along?
By now I usually have everything written into a spread sheet. I haven't even opened any of next year's books yet, just placed them of the kids shelf. Ugh. I plan to jump on the planning phase as soon as track conference meet is done this weekend.
