Then she drew two pictures, one in which the Sioux had everything they needed, one in which they did not. Then we did an exercise in which she had to think about things she had that she could live without, and things she could not.</span></span><br />

She made lists in her journal of come ways we could help each other, and thought of ways she could help animals in our area. (ie : picking up litter, making bird/squirrel feeders)</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Reading/Language Arts : Mimzy decided to do mostly workbooks this week. She focused on her drawing practice book (which has step-by-step drawing instructions, then a brief story describing the subject, and room on the back for creative writing about the subject.) and her Star Wars workbook.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Math : Using a story example in the curriculum book, Mimzy and her dad learned more about "Mr. Placevalue" and his adventures in real estate. It's silly, but a really fun way to understand place values.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br style="line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" /></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Social Studies : We discussed real-life examples of money exchange and bartering in the modern world, and roleplayed both.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Science : We discussed the food chain. Mimzy has done this subject before, especially during her zoo adventures, so we focused more on HER food chain than that of animals in the wild. She made a list of her favorite foods and traced the chain back to the sun, and then we made an actual "chain" of two of them (cheese crackers and juice) our of construction paper.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Health : So, I finally found her health book, stealthily hidden in the tote where I store all of her other school supplies. What? I don't even know. </span>ANYWAY - This week we discussed challenging herself, and how it can benefit her in the future. She made a list of her talents and interests, then where these could lead her in the future. (ie : Her interest in art and creative writing could give her a career in comic books, her interest in swimming could lead to her being a world champion.) <br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br style="line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Art : We painted (faces, paper...) and decorated for the birthday party. Mimzy always helps me decorate for parties, it's a lot of fun for both of us.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Music : Does singing "Happy Birthday" count? haha we didn't have anything formal this week again, just music enjoyment per usual. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br style="line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Extra : Happy birthday to my little Shark! <3<br />We had a fun week this week. Mimzy decided to write a new game called 'The Yolk Is On You!' In it, two or more people pass a yellow ball (the "yolk") back and forth while singing a song. (Any song.) When the song is over, whoever is holding the ball has to tell a joke that makes the other person/people laugh.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I found her and Shark one night, well past their bedtimes, lying cuddled up in her bed with a pile of books and his toy computer. </span></span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" />

It helps her focus on actually doing the problems, instead of on everything but. We're keeping these "races" very casual and low-pressure, but it seems to work.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br style="line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" /></span><br />

She read a story about "Erin and the 'Ring Money'" and journaled about it in her workbook. We also discussed times when using money is much more practical than trading goods directly. (ie : Carrying an entire herd of cows around with you wherever you go haha)</span><br />

Instead of reading the required reading, she is instead able to pick any book she wants and journal that. This week she chose Silverlicious to journal, and discussed her Hogwarts books with us each morning after reading them. With this method, I often found her sitting and reading aloud with her little brother, or choosing reading over playing games on her computer or tablet, so I'm quite pleased with the change thus far.</span><br />

We also reviewed Natural Resources and Human Resources again, and after looking up where Ancient Mali was located, she made a list of capital resources and drew a beautiful picture of a mosque. </span><br />

She listed each habitat, along with some of it's features and animals (also adding her own note : what she'd most like to do there) and then drew a picture of each. </span><br />

Her step-dad is in charge of these lessons since he's much more musically inclined than I am. All three of them (Mimzy, Shark, and Dad) had drums and learned what the different kinds of beats were, and how to keep time.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Craft : </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Besides making the pot-holder, Mimzy had time on her own to make crafts.

She also started using a new program called Tynker, which is a game that helps teach kids how to program! It was a lot of fun! </span><br />

<br /><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately we weren't able to finish the lesson plan as we'd hoped to because the entire family came down with what we're referring to as "The Plague." Then the madness of the holidays took over. I'm a bit disappointed, but homeschooling means rolling with the punches and doing what works best for your family.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thankfully, we're all feeling much better after the new year, and ready to start back up with the regular routine on Monday morning! Here are some fun pics from our holidays. We hope you all had a great holiday and a wonderful new year full of love and excitement!</span><br />

There aren't as many pictures this week because we didn't do as many crafts, but we still had a ton of fun. We also found time to having a holiday baking party where Mimzy helped make and decorate sugar cookies, make oreo truffles, thumbprint cookies, and more. She also advanced in rank in her karate lessons, which made her feel very proud!</span></span><br />

Discussed how seasons work in our area. She made an entry in her journal about her enjoying time outside during her favorite season.

She was wary about studying spiders at first because she's scared of them, but she enjoyed learning more about them in the end. She also drew a beautiful picture of a spider web in a tree in a forest.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Health : We discussed how to relax and cool down in times of stress, and practiced meditation.

<br /></div>
I'm working on a very special lesson plan for this month. I'm planning on doing a "13 Days of Homeschool and Holidays" set from December 8th-December 24th in which we'll discuss different December holidays each day. If it works out as I'm hoping we'll set aside our boxed Oak Meadows curriculum for the rest of the month starting next week and all our lessons will involve cultural and religious exploration. I don't have it all worked out yet, but I'll share my lesson plan once it's in place before the beginning of the week, in case anyone else wants to follow along!<br />
<br />
The holidays we'll be learning about are :<br />
<br />
Saint Nicholas Day (Dec 6th) (Christian)<br />
Fiesta of Our Lady of Guadalupe (Dec 12th) (Mexican)<br />
St. Lucia Day (Dec 13th) (Swedish)<br />
Hanukkah (Dec 16-24) (Jewish)<br />
Christmas Day (Dec 25) (Christian)<br />
Boxing Day Dec 26) (Australian, Canadian, English, Irish)<br />
Kwanzaa (Dec 26-Jan 1) (African American)<br />
Omisoka (Dec 31) (Japanese)<br />
Yule (Dec 21) (Pagan)fluffyrhinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04607926456551669587noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029463611707013021.post-34544388138761440122014-12-02T07:46:00.002-08:002014-12-02T07:46:46.215-08:00Week of 11/23/2014-11/29/2014<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">This week was a rough one, as evidenced by the fact that this blog update is 4 days later than usual. The car broke down and much of our school time was spent trying to find rides to necessary locations, the adults had their turns at being ill, and Thanksgiving took up an entire day of school time. So, unfortunately the arts and crafts we had planned for the week were what really suffered. </span><br />

<br />
Math : We reviewed our time tables, did splashmath.com, etc as usual. We did mixed problems using all 4 processes, and read a math story that helped to introduce and explain the long division sign for presenting division problems. She also had fun doing some measurement and money-counting worksheets.<br />
<br />
Social Studies : Mimzy identified the British Isles on the globe and drew a map showing the United Kingdom and Ireland. She colored and marked each location on the map and created a legend and a compass rose to help explain the map.<br />
<br />

She had fun molding beeswax into her own honeycomb, and of course we had to eat some honey as well.<br />
<br />
Health : The lesson for the week was all about stovetop cooking! Mimzy learned how to make tea (pre-bagged and loose leaf) and grilled cheese sandwiches, and also experimented with honey, sugar, and milk to decide how she liked her tea the best. Turns out she liked all 3! Though it wasn't stove-top, she decided to make an apple pie from scratch instead of the soup recommended in the lesson. Given all the prep work involved, and how much she enjoyed it, I figured it was a good substitution!<br />
<br />
Art : Mimzy started working on making her own calendar. This week we did January and February of 2015!<br />
<br />
Music : We used rhythm work with her multiplication tables.<br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-size: large; line-height: 16.8666667938232px;">We had a rough week! Ear aches, migraines, vomiting, fever, colds ... you name it, someone in this house had it.

We played a game where we'd randomly pick a location and discuss what the climate would be like and how that would affect people's lifestyles. She located our continent and country, and we also discussed some places that she'd like the visit globally.</span></span><br />

She colored in one MyPlate graph and we discussed some foods that belonged in each category, then we cut and pasted the foods she'd eaten the day before onto another MyPlate graph.</span></div>

We discussed how people's lives might change depending where on the continent they live. For example, people in the desert need to spend more time finding food and water than people living by rivers in fertile land. She identified some of the places we'd talked about in previous lessons (Nigeria, the ancient Mali empire) and created a legend to identify the locations. She also filled in her map with physical symbols and color.</span></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;"><span style="line-height: 16.8666667938232px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 18.4799995422363px;"><span style="line-height: 16.8666667938232px;">Science : We created our own card game to identify various characteristics of animals as well as character traits we attribute to them. For example, one card asks, "Who soars to the clouds and nests on mountains? Who is free beyond the horizon and is a symbol of power?" The answer is "An Eagle."</span></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 16.8666667938232px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 18.4799995422363px;"><span style="line-height: 16.8666667938232px;">Health : This is the start of the third unit of health, in which we'll be discussing healthy habits.

She started her swim team practices, and has swam a lot this week! I was so proud of her dedication and hard work, even though she wasn't the most skilled or fastest on her team. She also came with me to vote on Election Day, and we had a conversation about how democracy worked and why it was important to vote.</span></span></span></span><br />
