(Everything we did as written is in black. All add on's are red.)
***We do not use only HOD. We also love our TOG and are finding a way to incorporate the two together. My littles are thriving with HOD though.....so we are adding in pieces of TOG which I use mostly with dd10 and ds12.
READING ABOUT HISTORY:
All of the kids REALLY like the book "American Pioneers and the Patriots". Discussed a lot about what it would be like to travel for so long without electricity. Kids discussed going camping this summer to test it out.
POETRY AND RHYMES:
I have realized that my spunky ds7 LOVES poetry! :) We have read from a poetry collection that we own this week. He has been loving working on "The Storm". All kids illustrated and did poem puzzle.
GEOGRAPHY:
Lots of review for us this week. Angelo already knows his continents and oceans, so we focused more on Spain, St Augustine, Florida, and routes ships took.
BIBLE STUDY:
Psalm 4:8 We made up some actions to go with Scripture. Not really sticking as we are practicing LHFHG memory verses more often. lol
CORRESPONDING MUSIC:
We are skipping this for now and just doing Vol. I as that was accidentally send in our Beyond order. Worked out fine as we needed that anyway. :D
LANGUAGE ARTS:
I decided to give Angelo both grade 1 and 2 lists....so 20 words. He is doing very well with the words so far. I am fine cutting back as weeks go on, but for now, that seems to be working. He did all of the spelling activities this week.
Copywork: He did the entire poem. No complaining or whining. Writing does not seem to bother him.
READING CHOICES (CHOOSE YOUR OWN):
We all started using Reading Eggs this week. So far they are all enjoying it.....even ds12! ;)
Angelo also read some Bob books this week.
STORYTIME:
BUST! Could not find book. It is here somewhere! lol So once I find it, we will play catch up!
MATH EXPLORATION:
So much fun! Math has been a huge hit this week. I am doing activities and SM workbook with ds7 and dd5. I also am supplementing math lab stuff. This weeks big winner is our new C-Rods. They have all played HOURS with them this week. We are also tinkering with Miquin a bit.
SCIENCE EXPLORATION:
Science is pretty like warm this week. Not HOD's fault, but in us getting the swing of things, I have been less than inspirational in the science department. :( So we smashed out all of the science on Friday.
We did watch a tornado spin using our Discovery Kids Tornado Kit. Watched Brainpop Jr "Spring" which touched on floods, storms, and tornadoes. Also watched Brainpop "Tornadoes".
Boat experiment: Used card stock cut in fours. Added food coloring to the water to make it like an ocean. :) Watched Brainpop "Ocean Currents"
Blubber Experiment:
Using the water from above experiment. We also added ice cubes. Brrrr! :)
Video about Arctic Habitats. Brainpop "Dolphins" (blubber). Migration (discusses blubber a bit)
HISTORY ACTIVITY:
ARTISTIC EXPRESSION: We are skipping this activity as we are our of aluminum foil. :) We also did shields within the last 6 months.
EXTRAS THIS WEEK:

Dance class Mondays 630-830pm
