Our weekly plan.....



Tomorrow we are going to dissect frogs at a friends house.  I am grossed out by it, but Lydia is pretty excited. I am hoping that it goes smoothly....and Lydia gets to do most of the work.

We are going to our first park day this week also with our homeschool group.  Our dynamic is changing just a bit this year.  I will be fully responsible for all 4 of my children's education and therapy choices.  Caty will not be returning to a "public" school in the fall.  She has been attending a special needs preschool on IEP for speech.  They are closing.  I think she has made great improvement in speech though, and unfortunately regressed in some other areas that we are going to be working on.  Not quite sure why there has been such massive regression, and probably never will.  We will just help her overcome this.

What's on tap for school:

Joey
Math-Continue multiplication review using his montessori board and iXL.com (watch for the review)
Science-Some experiment he chooses from the kit and he will be learning about the platypus this week
Handwriting-Getty Dubay Book B

Reading-He is reading a Madagascar 3 Junior Novel, and also will continue working on his reading comprehension Little Critter Workbook

4H-They will be attending their first meeting this week.  Joey is working on Photography 1 unit for his Fair.

Brayden
Pretty much the same as Joey, except science.  He will just work on the experiment.  Brayden also does not enjoy Spanish, so we are not forcing him to learn.
Math-He will be finishing his Teaching Textbooks level this week, so they can get started on the next.
Reading-Brayden will be reading some books we found at the library for him.  He reads 15 minutes a day approximately.  He makes sure of it because he sets his Time Timer app on his iPad.

I am trying very hard to stick to our menu, we are a little off this week, but haven't ordered out for Joe and I.  The girls were at a sleepover Friday night, so we ordered the boys a pizza as a treat.  Daddy and I enjoyed steaks as a treat!!!

Everyone have a wonderful week!!!
