Sarah moved into a toddler bed last week, and we haven't had a minutes trouble with the transition. I am amazed. She actually yells for us to come get her after her nap instead of getting up herself. I figured with as active as she is, that this would be a terrible transition. She sure surprised me! I guess she loves her sleep (just like her Mom)!

Here is what we accomplished:
Math - Caleb continued his work in fractions. Josiah worked with the metric system. Rachel learned about bar graphs and the value of a dollar this week. I don't think Jada did any formal math this week. She did play lots of Skip-bo with me ... which reinforces some basic math skills, right?

Playing Skip-Bo ... don't mind the mess!
Reading - Caleb finished his book George Washington: Young Leader (Childhood of Famous Americans)
History - We learned about The Articles of Confederation and the writing of the Constitution.
Read-Aloud - We read chapters 12-18 in Carry On, Mr. Bowditch
Science - Caleb learned about the skeletal system. Josiah and the girls finished the cell chapter.
Writing - The boys both wrote about whether they would prefer to be a star on a losing team or a nobody on a winning team. Both those the latter. Caleb wrote a paragraph and Jo only wrote one sentence. Their actual writing still needs a lot of work ... that will definitely be a focus for both of them next year.
My sister's home town hosts a homeschool week every year. They have a scavenger hunt where the kids have to go from store to store solving clues. My sister and her family, my brother and his family, my Mom, and the kids and I all met up on Friday afternoon and did the scavenger hunt together. It was a little chaotic (we have 14 kids between the 3 of us) but we had a lot of fun!
