Week nine of our school year...so far, so good. We did get behind a bit this week, but went into the weekend to make up for it. Not ideal, but with Chris deployed, the weekends don't seem all that much different that weekdays.
A sample of each of my boys' history note booking about a battle between colonists and Native Americans...
Gabriel, age 6
Christopher, age 11
Matthew, age 9
Who owned which land during this time period.
Pennsylvania becomes a colony.
We're still studying the animal kingdom for science and this week we are reading about reptiles. The kids had to draw a picture of a lizard camouflaging itself and Christopher drew his lizard blending in with fireworks. He's so fun.
A few of the read-alouds we've enjoyed lately. We've just started reading Madeleine Takes Command, but like the others, the boys, especially Christopher, asks to do more than one chapter a day.

Monarch Madness came to our city park and I took the girls after co-op Friday. We read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" pretty much every night for the girls' bedtime so they were both very excited to see the butterflies there.
They let Leah hold a butterfly to release it and she loved it. They offered one to Anna, but she didn't want it to touch her. She still enjoyed looking at it though.
And, of course, my sweet craft-loving girls loved coloring their flowers and adding thumbprint butterflies to them.
Have a great week!
