Busy Learning, Busy Living

Life is busy here with these three. They never stop moving, learning, or laughing.

Isabela has decided she wants to be like Jackson and Abigail and vacuum the floor. Sounds perfect to me, especially if she adds the fuzzy slippers, enthusiasm, and smile.

While playing outside one morning a blimp flew over the house..They were thrilled to watch it rise over the hill and glide above our house. By the time I was able to get inside for the camera I was unable to get a close up perfect shot.

I am so proud of this girl! Finally she has written all twenty six upper case letters A-Z!

A true milestone for Abigail before her fourth birthday!
Jackson was worried why I didn’t require her to put the letters on a line or to make her keep it more organized!

Jackson’s week was filled with checking out Christmas toys, asking tons of questions, playing off a boy’s energy, and completing much work.

He was really excited to realize he was at 900!

We took a week off from our math book to practice fact families. Last week it was the only concept that stumped him on his test. Luxury of homeschooling, we were able to slow down until he completely understood. Now we are both happy!

I had to add this copy of a reading lesson. These words he enjoyed and felt BIG completing. I showed him a time or so and amazingly he was able to read almost all of them feeling like he accomplished something really different because of the size of the words.

These are examples of the sentence breaks he practices every other reading lesson.

Another 100 in Spelling this week. The interesting thing about this lesson was I moved two of last weeks words, Tuesday and Wednesday, to this week. He flew with his regular list of words and five of the days of the week-last week and then ran out of steam with Tuesday/Wednesday…so we added it here and he was successful.

We finally finished packing our Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child boxes.

We had a lot of fun searching the stores with special goodies for these boxes.

Three boxes, one for a boy, two for a girl, and hopefully a good lesson in life about giving! We paid our donation online. In doing this, we will hopefully receive an email notification of what part of the world our boxes travel to. Sounds like a great opportunity for a geography lesson in the future!

Sitting in a baby doll stroller and loving being pushed around by her big sissy! Isabela enjoys sitting on our lap in the floor. This week was the first time she actually said, “sit down!” They are growing way too fast!

Finally, this week we learned that a shadow was created when an object blocks out the sun’s light. We had fun having a sunny day, shadow play at different times throughout the day watching our shadow change locations depending on where the sun was.
