This was the windmill Lil Sis didn't finish last week for New Netherlands.
I started a new notebook page for the girls. To put in the kings in charge during the time of each colony.
They continued to do their colony pages.
This is how I teach the history. Sometimes I read straight out of the books. Most of the time I summarize and I will use a powerpoint presentation with pictures for them. It makes more sense.
We learnt about King Charles I, Oliver Cromwell, Charles II, and the fire in London this week.
Also we learnt about the Carolinas and Maryland colonies.
Science
We had our 2nd co-op.
These were the notebook pages Baby Sis did for last week.
When we went for a walk, we found a vascular plant.
And Lil Sis made a crystal model for her Earth Science class (that she is independently doing)
Bible
For bible, I am using the materials from Bible Study Fellowship. Big Bro uses the adult, Big Sis and Lil Sis use the oldest kid and Baby Sis the younger kid. They are pretty good materials I think.
9th Grade
Big Sis had some tests this week and she started to learn about the Middle America.
She made Smoky Taco Chicken! =) The lime juice infused sour cream was really good!
11th Grade
New books for this week. Thankful for the libraries. He actually liked the Rebels books!
They stayed up late to watch Hamilton. Again. So good. SO SO good.
Somebody did really well for his test this week!
This is how I help him with SAT. He took the full test, I went through the questions (Math) and picked out some of his mistakes and went through SOME with him (by topic). If I go through everything, it will be too much. But by focusing on some, at least he got some.
He is still using Khan for his daily practice, and maybe a full test every month or so.
OTHER HAPPENINGS
We celebrated Mid Autumn Festival with the smallest mooncake. =)
Big Bro had his first gig at a coffee shop with his youth director. I cannot tell you how proud and joyous I feel to see him using his gifts and passions.
