We're onto our 2nd week!
HISTORY
We learnt about Charles V, The Spanish explorers, William the Silent (Dutch), Mary Queen of Scots. I added more things onto the timeline other than the ones given by MFW.
We used IEW style to write about Charles V and William the Silent.
These are the notebook pages they did
For the Story of the World, the girls listened to the audio reading by Jim Weiss, and I made short google quizzes for them.
They also listened to this fun podcast on Mary Queen of Scots
MIDDLE SCHOOL
Lil Sis learnt about plates, volcanoes, earthquakes, and glaciers.
9TH GRADE
Big Sis started Chemistry this week! (as well as Intro to Logic)
Lab reports.
This is a fun book for Geography!
"Many maps are not accurate because they don't include Alaska and Hawaii". WHAT??!?! Big Sis has been giving us trivia and fun facts everyday. =)
And she finished "From here to Eternity" book.
We went through the process of writing an argumentative (critical) essay. She did an essay on "Choosing Life" (the topics are chosen from reading of last week)
I modified a rubric to grade her assignment.
11th GRADER
Big Bro had to do a full SAT test this week. He also started Physics and Intro to Logic.
PREPPER
He is SOOOOO intro the alphabet these days!!
I made an alphabet game from his FAVORITE video (Sesame Street Alphabet)
One day daddy was not working, wee bro spent some time with him. Then they left for an errand. I went in and saw the remainings on the bed. A book, magna doodle, his comfort blankie, a pair of socks, and a Happy Meal toy. What were they doing???
OTHER HAPPENINGS
We had guests and Baby sis made cupcakes.
After school, and throughout the day, guitar and keyboard music are what we hear very very often.
It was Singapore's National Day on August 9th!!
I made Hainanese chicken rice from this pack. I much much prefer Prima Deli packs, but these are ok too.
Then we bought food from a Malaysian restaurant. Yay for home food!
Made Taro (and plain) buns for breakfast one day.
