Movie day!

I had a dentist appointment earlier this week and the kids brought along their educational electronics to play with while they waited. 

We also met up with a few fellow homeschoolers for a movie day. A local movie theater had a free showing of The Little Mermaid, you just had to purchase food there. So we had a fabulous lunch and a great time watching the movie!

No, my children do not know how to take normal pictures.

Here is how our last week went:

 We went to the indoor playground

 Had a sensory science class

 swim class

 More school...

 sick kids

 Geography

 

Besides Math and LA...

This week we added our Science, LA Extensions and Social studies units in T4L. In Social Studies, Jayden is learning about basic needs (food, shelter, clothing) vs. wants. He had a difficult time comprehending that something like water is a need, while a computer (or other electronic devices) is a want. Apparently, like his father, he believes electronics are necessities. Whenever the option came up to choose between a basic need vs. a computer or other electronic device, he picked the electronic device as a need. "Mom, I don't need a house, I can live in a tent with my computer!" I see where his priorities lie. I am waiting for a magazine in the mail which we will use to cut up and separate needs vs. wants, so the lesson can sink in some more.

In LA Extension, Jayden is learning about pollution. He says that New York city has a lot of people littering because there is a lot of garbage on the street. He plans on making sure to tell people not to throw trash on the floor. We are currently reading The Berenstain Bears Don't Pollute Anymore.

For Science he is learning about living and nonliving things.
