All in a day's work...

We are still easing into our schedule....hence, why I am up at 4am working on lesson plans.

11th:
English:
 metaphors, similes, personification, hyperbole; sound devices such as alliteration, assonance, consonance, onomatopoeia, rhyme; and rhetorical devices such as anaphora and epistrophe.

Defining and writing an example sentence of each.

Found a website called Share My Lesson . com .... browsing through there a little to get some ideas on spicing up the things that we are learning this year.

History:

Timeline of the Holocaust powerpoint.  Writing notes, background study on WWII.  Getting ready to lead up to Reading Chapter one of "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" for English.


6th grade:
English:
Jesse can probably value from learning the same literary terms as Jacob and Emily.

Math:

4th grade:
Reading chapter 5 of Charlotte's web.
Beginnings of making a lapbook for Charlotte's Web.

math:
Beginnings of multiplication.  Using manipulatives.  And a few videos to watch.

Fridays are our catch up or easy days.  If we can get a full week in from Monday through Thursday then I will use Friday as a creative day to wrap the week up.  But since Emily was in Atlanta on Monday and slept Tuesday and in the hospital on Wednesday afternoon....we have much to catch up on.  Jacob had a lazy week as well.  Jesse and Elizabeth stayed on schedule for the most part.  Elizabeth read in her Charlotte's Web book and worked on her tan by the poolside.  Her swim lessons are at 1 and they usually swim for 3-4 hours each day...its been a swimming summer for the both of them. She has really enjoyed learning to swim this summer and came home with her "I passed Level 3" card!  Good thing....because I just paid for her Level 4 classes to start on Monday!!

Happy Weekend everyone!  My Monday starts today at work!!

  1. First of all, thank you.
    Thank you for investing in parents by blogging about your experiences on One Homeschool Mom, and sharing your faith openly.

    Please know how incredible this is. And be encouraged to keep going.

    I hope and pray that even more Christian parents (as well as non-Christian parents looking for answers) will find your blog and will be inspired by your experiences, solutions and struggles.

    We recognize that these are incredible times to live in, where technology allows parents around the world to encourage each other. As for ourselves, we use technology to reach out to children globally.

    We’re developing the world’s first videogame that takes kids through the Bible from beginning to end. Our hope is to increase the love for God’s Word amongst kids.

    We dream to see fathers and sons going through the Bible together, having fun as they become part of David’s army, spend time in the fish as Jonah, and play level after level, leading up to Jesus’ death and resurrection.

    Our prayer is that after kids finish the game, they will have an awe of God, and a deep love of the Bible; eager to read it for themselves. We believe that kids can read the Bible, no matter their age (as long as the translation fits their reading level, of course :D ).

    In order to steward this immense project well, we’re building relationships with parents like you. We like to ask your input by allowing you to look behind the scenes, have your kids play demo game levels before they go public, etc. You may also recommend a few people you think would be of interest.

    Additionally, we can provide you with plenty of interesting “blog-food” (concept art, images, etc) if you feel that this could benefit your subscribers.

    If you’d like more information, shoot me a quick reply to the email address below.

    Ruben
