First Week of School

One of the most exciting things (for me) is this year we have our own homeschooling room! We want to paint and make some changes but we haven't had the chance to yet, so we will make do this year. We got it set up just before school started.I've added a couple of posters and pictures since we took these pictures, but for the most part this is how our room looks.

In geography we read a little passage together and learned that the United States has 50 states, with 48 of them being contiguous (new vocabulary word).

We read about our nation's capital, the US flag (what the stripes and stars represent), the Pledge of Allegiance (what it means), and the Statue of Liberty. We added the little booklets to our geography notebooking pages.

 

 

The beginning of math is always a review of last year, so we flew through the first few lessons in math. Every day we have a "math meeting" where we fill in our daily math strip, discuss the date, weather, etc.

 She learned how to tell time to the hour this week!

 Jayden reviewed place values this week.

In history we read about the rise and fall of Ancient Rome. (We still had a couple of chapters left to read from our old history book SOTW 1- Ancient Times before we could move on to Medieval Times next week. Sorry, some of the pics are sideways!) The Christianity portion brought up great topics about religion and morals.

 

Mid week we went peach picking and came home with nearly 10lbs of peaches. We ate a few and made a delicious peach pie for dessert and peach jam for sandwiches, french toast/pancake topping, and homemade pop tarts!
