Getting Ready For Christmas

We have not been schooling as regular as we use to. But we have gotten some neat lessons.. Quinten, Abigail and Isaac are finish up their state geography and start world geography in 2 weeks.. Jacob is still studying the constitution. There is so much to teach but I have to stop and remember, he is not quite 12.. I need to slow down!!

A friend gave me a great idea for a Christmas theme lesson plan.. I hope to have the first one posted by Monday

This is it..

no more excuses.. This blog WILL be interesting and active.. :)


Currently we are still organizing lessons.. Its been a crazy fall.

Science
J: Animal Tracking
Q: is studying design, how ships, planes etc.  are built
A&I: Animal Studies.
Z&O: random child inspired lessons

History
We are reading from the Patriots History of the United States. Currently still in chap 1.. thats ALOT of info in just one little chapter!

Geography
Q,A, & I are doing a state lesson plan. Z&O have some but not as indepth

Civics
Jacob is studying the constitution

Math and Grammar -- aka the 3R's :) 
They are all at various levels. Jacob is doing some pre algebra along with working the basics. Quinten is in a 5th grade math book, with alot of review. Abigail is learning multiplication and Isaac is venturing into division. Zachary is strengthening his addition and subtraction skills

These keep up pretty busy.. I had art lessons planned but the only one we got to was Jacob.. he was learning photography. He lost his camera then found it and now its not working. So obviously he is not doing so well in his class.
