Week four summery

This week in history we learned about the first writings. Hieroglyphics! We had so much fun carving our names into clay using cuniforms and hieroglyphics.

I slacked this week with my blog. I have been fighting a cold/sinus thing. The girls are now not feeling well and we had the craziest week ever last week. First we learned about Van Gogh. We looked through some of his work and then drew a picture of "Starry Night" The girls did such a great job!
We learned all about his life, how he used textures and he did many self portraits. They really liked learning about him and we also listened to the song starry night.







For music we learned about Franz Joseph Haydn. We listened to "The clock" the girls loved hearing the "tick tock"

We also Went to Old Salem. I will post a whole other post for that. It was totally incredible!

Olivia continues to rock math but we need to work more on her spelling and writing. We have added 5 spelling words a week to out curriculum so hoping she will get better in that department.

In Science we learned about acids and bases. WE did not do our experiment this week but will finish this weekend.

Brooke is doing wonderful. She loved her little workbook and is learning FAST. She is still doing awesome at school and totally loves it.

WE also went to Great Wolf Lodge. It's an indoor waterpark. It was so much fun. So much fun that I forgot to take pictures. DUH!

This weekend we went apple picking! It was really REALLY beautiful. We had just so.much.fun! We picked about 40lbs of apples. Apple pancakes. applesauce, apple crisp and we will do more baking tomorrow. LOL!!




OH also, Olivia started acting classes and LOOOOOVES it and Brooke started gymnastics and LOOOOVES that so everyone is happy. Phew..told you it was a CRAZY week.
