Week 4 Highlights

Whoosh! Here I am again looking back at another week. I’m shaking my head at how fast time is flying by. But here we go…

Building jigglebots… Take a look at this funny video.	Jessie took her waterbot 2.0 into the wild

Jessie took the jigglebot supplies and kept building.	Found the tiniest ring-neck snake

This week was such a blur I’m struggling to remember details. LOL! Sam’s settling into his math work really well. He’s even called it “easy” for he first time ever. Jessie got to work with a number line for the first time and found it a little difficult. I think this is the first time math has been difficult for her. Pretty sure it won’t be hard for long.

Sam did some great writing for history. He’s really been working on the outlining and I think it really paid off this week when he turned that outline into a very well written paragraph.

Didn’t get to nature study this week. Things got outta sorts early on and it was one of the things that slipped through the cracks. Last week we did the sock seed project but have yet to get any sprouts from it.

Both of them are really liking the science lessons. Waiting on some better propellers to come in so we can build some more robot-y things. The jigglebots were really funny. Take a look at the videos if you get a chance. They may not be there long because they take up so much space in my picasa account.

Review Friday went a little better, I think it did anyway. Got a bit more detail from each of them this time. Perhaps this is something that will take time to develop…?

Oh! And how could I forget… Japanese. A good friend of mine from high school is teaching us Japanese in exchange for help in getting her language blog started. Sam did his first lesson this week.

That’s all for now. I’ve really been battling allergies all week. Perhaps the allergy meds account for most of the week’s blurryness. Felt great yesterday but not so much today. Staring at the computer screen makes my head hurt more. :\
