School Week 16 & 17

This post is really late but I've been too busy to blog about anything..okay on Week 16 we rowed the book Tree of Cranes. We loved this book, it is set in Japan and gave us a look at how Christmas is celebrated there. Wonderful story!

Geography & Culture: Japan
Science: common cold
Language arts: copy work, Japanese writing, Japanese legends
Art: origami

Who knew KFC was so popular in Japan this time of year!!!!


Week 17! Christmas in the Big Woods. I found a lapbook for this book which is the only reason we are rowing it. It's a very simple book but the kids get to see how Christmas was celebrate long ago. I love the Little House series, it's a wonderful introduction to the chapter books, which we'll be reading next semester!

There are all sorts of lessons in this lapbook!
Geography: Wisconsin
Science: what is your house made out of?
Language arts: copy work
and many more....

Next week is our last week of school for the year. The kids are all caught up in math and handwriting! Next semester we are starting some new things and it was important to get everything else done that way we can start the new stuff right away!

A7 will be starting MUS Beta! as well as Spelling! X5 will continue doing the code primers and will be starting book C sometime in the coming semester!
