Our campus has this week off due to our facility's schedule. At home, we'll be focusing on our other curriculum, reviewing all memory work, and perhaps doing a few projects we didn't get around to yet. But, I know many of you are probably meeting as usual, so I wanted to share my week 5 links anyhow. History … [Read more...]
Week Four – Plant Cell
In our reading today, we learned that a plant cell's membrane is semi-permeable. So, we did a quick science experiment to demonstrate the definition of semi-permeable. My oldest son held a paper towel between two hands while I ran the faucet in our kitchen sink and another son looked to see if the water would pass through the paper … [Read more...]
Week Four – Reviewing Prepositions
You may have seen this idea before on Pinterest from various sources. Today, I thought it would be fun to set up a "laser obstacle course" to review our prepositions. It was a hit!

While they were working, I talked to them about the jobs of each part of the animal cell. Next, they took various colors of play-doh and filled in the parts of … [Read more...]

Week Two – Mummy Making
Mummy making happened today! As previously mentioned, I have 3 boys and 1 baby girl so there are no barbies to speak of yet in our home. So, we used some random plastic figures we had around the house. The boys picked ones they wouldn't mind saying goodbye to, in case they don't clean up well after the mummification process. In regard … [Read more...]
Cycle One – Week Two – 7 Wonders & Pyramid Building
