Todays studies

So glad we got a lot of school work accomplished in a short time today. We started the Homonyms (thanks Michelle) and he really enjoyed them. We did the copy and drawing today. Tomorrow we will do the definitions. He also wrote a letter to a male (Uncle) for explaining the difference in male/mail.
He likes his picture taken.

This is his page on sale/sail.
We also started Lifepac Unit 5 today. It has a lot of reading and answering questions, but this is something he really needs to work on. I just have to find something for him to do while reading besides sitting at the table or on the floor. I may invest in a bounce ball like several people have mentioned on HHS. 
We did math today on a dry erase board and he like this better than paper and pencil. This way just takes more of my one on one time. But I am going to continue with this and add the paper and pencil problems too. 


Today he also finished his Soccer lap-book. We have been working on this book for a few books now, but it was pretty detailed. He learned about what the 1st soccer ball was made from, traction, area, perimeter, world cup wins, rules of soccer, and more. He really enjoyed doing this one. The nest we are doing in just Our Community so he can learn more about his surroundings.
ACTING SILLY
Now it is time to get busy with the house cleaning. I had to do things out of order today b/c K took a early nap. His allergies are bad and he is cutting a tooth. Now I am going to lay N down for a nap and get to cleaning.

So I did not get our lesson plans in order this weekend. (I was preoccupied worrying about dad.) So I had to get up this morning cook breakfast and get a plan together for today. So today will be a light day for studying. This afternoon I will be finishing our weekly plans. 


Today we will do,
Bible time (Matthew 4:1-11)
Language Arts (Homonyms and short story and answers w Lifepac)
Math lesson (gauges and thermometers) 
And do some reading. (Path of Gold)


Plus I have to do the daily cleanup around here. This house can be a mess in a matter of minutes. I try to pick up all through out the day but it still gets to be a mess. 


Please continue to pray for my dad. His blood pressure began dropping this morning. They are adjusting his medicine to try and bring it up. They are also doing the camera to the heart to check for blood clots and may shock his heart. Once his heart is stable they will do the gall bladder surgery. Thank you all for your prayers.
