Well, this post is more like a highlights of the highlights post since it spans two months....Time has been flying and we've been busy!
DG completed about five units in Creation to Christ since the last update.....and we have pretty much decided to stop with Creation to Christ there----just short of the sections of Jesus's life and ministry. Since we have been involved in an indepth study of Luke this year, we have been studying His life and ministry all throughout the year.
We are going to finish our year up with a study of our state's history and also begin a science study of Swimming Creatures of the Fifth Day. Some of this may carry over into "next year" but that's okay!
DG has eight more math lessons and two math quizzes until she is finished with Teaching Textbooks 4 and then we'll be ready to start Teaching Textbooks 5!
She read seventeen books in her free reading time in February and March----and has been eagerly awaiting the release of Kingdom Keepers V (which has been ordered, shhhh....it's a surprise though)!
This is the time of year we like to spend outside more often and inevitably go on more field trips, so it seems. We recently we to the local science and history museum together and also on a tour of our local newspaper and a federal reserve bank with a small group. Each of these trips was excellent! I think we enjoyed the newspaper tour and the museum the most.
Here are a few pictures from the museum:
We watched this little guy swim around and eat for awhile.
We played with this neat magnet/liquid combination exhibit (along with lots of other physical science stations).
DG had fun doing a new to us scavenger hunt through one of the museum's rooms.
We've also been doing more art projects (thanks to Art Projects for Kids , Deep Space Sparkle and That Artist Woman):
She has really enjoyed the projects!
That's it for now.....hope to be back before too many more weeks go by with another update.
