Revival to Revolution

Unit 10

Mackenzie is really working hard this year! She has definitely gotten into her groove and is having a great time (even if she won't admit it). Like many children she doesn't like a book if it is "required reading", but secretly I think she enjoys it because I often find her reading ahead. She takes many of her books to bed with her and reads much of her assignments the night before...gotta love that initiative!

Peek into Our Weeks

I realize I haven't updated this blog in a few weeks. I have really, really good reasons, I promise! One of those reasons in just the simple fact that we have been so incredibly BUSY! Another reason, although a sad one, is that my Grandpa Sweetie passed away. We took some time to go to Michigan for his funeral and to see family. And finally, I became an AUNT! My sister and her husband had their first baby.

My dear Grandma and Grandpa Sweetie <3

Preparing Hearts:

Alivia enjoyed her lessons this week. She has been reading the dinosaur book for several weeks now and while she enjoyed it, I think she was glad to move on to a different one.

Creation to Christ: Unit 3

Grace absolutely adores the watercolor painting!

Grace's books for CTC from Heart of Dakota. Can I just say how much we all LOVED the book, The Golden Bull! This is an absolute MUST READ book when studying ancient history. In fact it was a quick read and we couldn't wait to find out what happened each day to Jomar and his sister.

Week in Review: August 12-16, 2013

This week has been a great week! All of my students worked very diligently and we accomplished so much! Caden read 10 minutes every day and reviewed his math facts by playing games and using the online math drill from Math U See. He is working on multiplying by 5, 10, and 9. After he masters those facts he will move on to counting by 3's and multiplying by 3.

Alivia worked through unit 13 of Preparing Hearts for His Glory.
