Week 14
Monday - We played Monopoly in the morning then everyone helped make lunch. The kids all did their reading. Westin has several read alouds on ice skating because that is our activity tomorrow. It was Martain Luther King Jr. day so we listened to letters from a Birmingham jail and read a picture book on King. I also went to the dollar store to get some supplies for our fun activities this week. We were going to make balloon powered cars later this week but when the kids saw them they begged to make them today. So they raced balloon powered lego cars.
Tuesday - We are studying Chihuly in at this week so we enjoyed a hands on art project Chihuly style. We got 3 different clear cups from the dollar store and drew on them and then put them in the oven. We got our work done early and then went ice skating downtown. Westin is finally independent! It was a lot of fun. I picked up the kids book it pizzas on the way home. Mike read to the kids over his lunch break then I took Maddy and Westin to turn in their reading logs at the library for a new book.
Wednesday - Our fun activity for today was glow in the dark bubbles. We worked to get school finished then we enjoyed watching Joe Biden become our 46th president. The inauguration was beautiful! Such a history day. Then the kids had their outdoor education class at the Holland Outdoor Discovery Center.
Thursday - In history we just finished the 2nd crusade. Today we told the battle of Hattin. We used the sand box to help tell the story. In writing the kids finished their travel brochures. They turned out really nice. We tried the hot ice experiment today. It didn't work but we enjoyed trying. Maddy finished her reading log and we turned it in today for her prize of $5 to spend in the book store. She got face paint with it and we had a lot of fun playing with her new paint.
Friday- For writing today the kids had 3 scenarios they had to respond to about gummy worms. They had a lot of fun with this project. On Friday the kids have to do a chore after every round of school. This really helps the house from getting out of control. We also call friday Youtube school day. We watch youtube clips on different school subjects and then after they clean they can watch a youtube clip they like. I also make pizza and sometimes we buy it for lunch on Fridays. This helps the week have a fun end. Westin had swim lessons today too to make us for Tuesday when we skipped to go ice skating.
