With holidays abuzz I have lacked my usual fervor for picture taking. But that doesn't mean we aren't having an absolute blast in school! The kids beg to do school everyday and can't seem to understand why we need rest from learning on the weekends. We just wrapped up our dinosaur unit, which was probably a favorite thus far. My Dad took the boys to the dinosaur museum downtown to bring school to life (while I shopped with mom, wink wink**) We still function best having school time while Ashley naps. We start off with 10-15 minutes of SSR time (sustained silent read time) and then I'll read aloud a book from our book basket associated with our unit. Then we do bible, phonics, math, crafts, handwriting, or whatever is on the agenda for the day. We wrap up with our read-aloud (we are typically doing a new chapter book per week and just completed the My Fathers Dragon 3-bk series) and then we end the day with Blane reading aloud to me from either a Bob book or a book from his reader set.
Unit - D for dinosaur
Key Theme - Big and Small God Made Them All
Read Aloud - My Fathers Dragon Series
Scripture - "The earth is the Lord's and everything in it; the world and all who live in it." Ps. 24:1
