- Learnt all about the pyramids. It was real informational!
We built a lego pyramid. I made the two older ones work together. They got into some disagreements about whether or not to put the "king" in.
We learnt about how levers might have been used to help in the hard work of building pyramids.
The kids had a lot of fun looking at around and inside Pharaoh Khufu's Great Pyramid
We read more about pyramids in this book
We did the pyramid lapbook pages and this particular one by Big Bro sent me laughing to the ground.
And we celebrated Rosh Hashanah (Feast of the Trumpets) (early)
Math/Science- Light: How the Human Eye sees
Learnt about blind spots and how our eye works.
- Light: Reflection, absorption, transmission
We did the experiment of seeing the reflection of the fork from the bottom of the bowl. (VERY neat!)
And we learnt how light may transmit or be absorbed or reflected

- And we read about 嫦娥奔月 since it was Mooncake Festival
Art/Music
- We drew King Tut's pyramid and also thick and thin lines
- Also the kids listened to Vivaldi's Spring and drew pictures. I wished they would have colored their pictures! I think they did a great job!
I love how diligent they were! (even the littlest)

Homeschooling Ideas
Our schedule has changed this year. Maybe there were more things to be done, or I have more kids in school, so the morning is not enough for school now. So here's how our day usually looks like now
7:30am Breakfast with Daddy, Facetime with grannies
8:00am Pick up and start school
(Until the weather gets cold, we will still do 10:30am playground time)
11:00am Lunch prep
11:30am Lunch
12:00am Littlest(and Mommy) naptime, Quiet Time (self work) for older ones)
2:00pm Clean up
2:30pm Video time
3:00pm Science/Art/Readaloud (or whatever things that are not finished for school)
3:30pm Play time!
4:30pm Dinner prep
5:00pm Bathtime for older kids
5:45pm Daddy's Home! Dinner Time
6:15-6:45pm Family Time
7:00pm Bedtime
On a side note, we got our compliance letters for our IHIP, two students this year. Though I know I need no affirmation from anyone other than God that I can and should homeschool my children, I still do not take the freedom and right to homeschool for granted. I am grateful for smooth process with the authorities.

We picked that "naughty" (according to my girls) leaf who did not want to stay on the tree.
Only one day has passed and it was in this state.
Eventually the leaf was quite dried up by Day 5.
L Book
This is my girl's FAVORITE ipad app and for every unit I asked her to watch the corresponding ones. They teach kids to make cute, fun foods (according to the letters!) We got it for free, now it's $2.99
And we read books on leaf
