We finished Unit 2 of Bigger and LHFHG on Tuesday and began Unit 3 in each guide today. The kids are doing well.
D is enjoying his hymn study and has really loved singing "Holy, Holy, Holy" each day while I play along on the piano. We're singing verse 1-3 right now (added 1 verse per week) and it's great to see him excited about the hymns & know hymns! I love reading the stories behind the songs.
D's science from Tuesday: learn the difference in density between freshwater & saltwater. Both he and K already knew the egg would float in saltwater...thanks PBS! ;o)
Mixing in the salt...
It floats!
K learned to fold pants & shirts, then packed her bag & is riding a camel in a silly way imitating people spreading out from Babel.
D's line drawing of a tree from the book on the right. The drawing is really faint in the picture...sorry!
D's timeline pictures he added today for his biography we're reading (George Rogers Clark) - I love his cute little stick figures!
Check out the deer's tail?! Ha! We're definitely not a hunting family. :o)
That must be very special to be playing the piano as your ds sings "Holy! Holy! Holy!". I would love that - but I don't have the talent - several years of piano lessons, and all I can manage is "chopsticks". ; ) I will say it has been an incredible blessing to hear my dc sing the hymns they've learned in HOD in church though - and I enjoy joining in too. D's pictures are so cute - love the look with the egg! K's camel riding is hilarious - hang on, somehow, hon'! That packing activity was a good learning activity for my ds. He has even started wanting to fold some laundry lately (other than washcloths and towels, which he has been folding awhile). Those ARE cute timeline pictures. We are a hunting family, and while the tail is a bit off, that sure would be a prize-winning buck with his big antlers - AND he shot it on the 1st shot - pretty great picture I'd say!
ReplyDeleteThanks. We stopped at a Cabela's store during our travels a few weeks ago and he was amazed at the deer on display - they had HUGE antlers.
