Highlights of week #23

Ok, so it's been a really long time since I did one of these.  I know.  :)  But I really like to have them on here because it's always fun to look back and remember what we did in school.   So, while I may not get them done every week, I would sure like to do them once on a while!

At the beginning of the week we enjoyed some Valentines crafts and worksheets, in addition to our regular school.

Lots of fun with 

foam stickers

Paper crafts

We are in the process of reviewing several things online for phonics and math, so the kids have been spending a lot of time on the computer.  I finally figured out that one way to have distraction-free time with the kids is to use headphones.  They used to watch each other at the computer and everything took much longer.  Now I can 'plug' one of them in, and have some time with the other one to do math or other one-on-one stuff.

We did Expedition Ireland this week for our unit study.  The kids both worked in Reading Kingdom (an up-coming review), and Read, Write and Type for phonics.  Bop enjoyed some fun activity sheet from Kid Scoop.  We are all enjoying Math U See.  Bop did some review this week to work on her addition for 9s, 8s and doubles.  CJ is working on lesson 3 in the Primer which has him basically counting.  He has been doing two worksheets a day because it is easy for him.

We have not been doing anything for spelling or handwriting because our days are just too full right now.  We are using Speekee for Spanish and we just started using a new (to us) program for music and piano.  It is an online program for kids 2-7 called Kinderbach.  We are still using Positive Action for Christ for Bible and enjoying it.

So, what did you do this week?
