2021-2022 in review

Well it's been a busy and crazy year. One child is in Public high-school and one is at home with me still.

 Lily has been doing great in school. She is enjoying 9th grade and has gotten on the honor roll for the last 2 trimesters. She is still dancing. She added art club and Civil Air Patrol to her list of extra-curricular activates. Lily will be confirmed this year at church. She can't wait until summer with no homework. 

AJ received his black belt in Karate. He is also enjoying school at home. He has been part of many classes and field trips this year. He has been dancing, flying planes and participating in Civil Air Patrol. 

I'm going to post some pictures of some activities from this past year. 

 Keep up to date on my Facebook page for more pictures and fun!

Solar Eclipse 2017

What a wonderful day learning about the solar eclipse!

The kids watched a movie and read a book They also did a worksheet and made some art work. Then we went to Heritage Museum and garden to watch the eclipse with friends. They had a blast watching a live streaming video and watching the eclipse with tons of different kinds of viewers. They used cereal boxes, colanders and glasses...

Chapter 6 - The House in the Grove

Chapter Summary-
The Edison's complete the final chapter of their journey to Port Huron. They pass the area schoolhouse on their way to their new home. His parents tell him he must go to school soon. Finally, they turn onto a narrow road and see a large white house straight ahead. Mrs. Edison is shocked by how big their new house is and Tom runs off to explore the grounds. Soon they begin to move things into their new home, and Tom and Pitt spend the better part of the day helping their mother insulate the floors with straw. After the family eats supper, they decide to name their new home. "The house on the grove" The next afternoon, Mr. Edison takes Tannie back to the train station and sends her back to Milan. That evening, the family sits and listens to Mr. Edison read The Detroit Free Press about current events. Tom listens closely to stories about President Fillmore and Commodore Perry. he is interested in the concept of trade and commerce. Learning things from his father's reading becomes a wonderful tool for Tom.

What we will cover in this Chapter-
History and Geography: President Fillmore
Science: Tree Identification

History and Geography: President Fillmore
In this story Tom listens to stories about President Fillmore as his father reads from the local newspaper. We learned some interesting facts about President Fillmore. The kids enjoyed watching two videos, reading a story and coloring a picture about the 13th president.

Science: Tree Identification 
We went on a hike on a beautiful winter day. We talked about the different kinds of trees we saw. Some examples are pine, oak and maple. We also learned the difference between deciduous and coniferous trees. When we got home Lily and Aj completed two pages in our science work book about conferees trees and carnivorous plants.
