Our Homeschool week- Boys, bugs, and hurricane studies

In my life this week…

We had a stormy start to the week with Isaac blowing by- but it did - blow by - no damage, just a bit of rain and wind. The heating pad was my friend. 

In our homeschool this week…

We have enjoyed a "normal" regular week this week - other than a big 'ole storm 

the boys are getting into a better routine with school time each day

Enjoying using the D is for Dinosaur to study the Bible with the boys - I love books that open up great discussion in our family homeschool.

My favorite thing this week was…

 The boys have been doing their best to help me keep the house cleaned up and organized! 

That just has a way of making this mama happy!!! 

I’m cooking…

 We made homemade guava jelly this week - we also made chicken and rice - and black beans and rice - and a pork roast. See our Kids in the Kitchen post and join us by linking up your favorite family recipes every week! 

Read learn explore - favorite resources …

 We love this series of books by Suzanne Tate - they were a gift from sweet friends with our first baby and we have enjoyed them all ever since! There are plenty to choose from - and it goes perfectly with our Swimming Creatures study from Apologia Science! 

Our little Spencer is having a hard time learning. He's smart as a whip - but something happens between the time we look at the words/sounds/ or letters together and the next second when he says it by himself. I'm working to both inspire him (like with fish themes) and help with kinesthetic learning - I'm proud of him for working hard and know that together - we will get through this so he can thrive in every area of his life. 

Please let me know if you have resources and information - not a perfect fit for dyslexia or dysgraphia - but seems to be a combination of both - He loves art and we are working with pictures. Thanks! 

Tactile learning …

 I am learning more about using kinesthetic learning specifically to help my youngest son - we have always been a hands on learning family. We used cooking a pot of beans this week to demonstrate radiant energy, conduction, and even convection. 

Freebie Friday …

 I made this hurricane unit study last year - it includes bible verses and more - seems appropriate this week to share!
