Bible: "Jesus is Immanuel!" This is a great topic right now as we are heading into the Christmas season.
History: We visited Rhode Island and Vermont this week. We learned about Daniel Boone and the Wilderness Road. Our state activity this week was to try real maple syrup. This is right up our alley, as pancakes are a staple in our house. Since we completed learning about the original 13 colonies, I put together a card game for the kids to match up the state with the state abbreviation. My goal is for them to at least memorize where the states are on the map and the abbreviation this year. We focused on memorizing where original 13 colonies are on the map. Check out this site we are using. I allow the kids to use their maps if needed for help.
Science: We took a break from the MFW's science this week. Emily chose for us to study Elephants. We also meet with Emily's teacher at her home for some great science time. We learned all about local trees, their leaves, and cones. We feed the horses and talked about what they eat. We took a wonderful nature hike around her property.We even found some old tabacco plants that grow naturally on her property. Emily was in heaven, as she would love to live up in the hills here.
Math: Jake enjoyed playing some of his favorite math games this week. It is amazing that a kid can learn is numbers from 1-20, adding, and subtracting from board games. I can only hope that Max will be this easy. Since Jake learns so easily, I have started to look at teaching him through some of the Montessori styles.
