Busy Week

Hi, It's Gabriela Again!

This past week was a pretty busy week. We started school Normally on Monday. That's the day Jackson had drum practice, Grace had guitar, and I had dance.

Tuesday we had Homeschool PE and Grace and I had dance.


On Thursday, we went to the Apple Orchard. Spent about 70 dollars on apples, and they're already gone!









Friday, we all had Spelling Tests.


Jackson, Grace, and I all got a new Math Program that we love, "Teaching Textbooks." It's really fun, it makes you want to do math!





This week, we have to work together to make an apple commercial of why we should eat apples.


That will be up next week!



Have a great, fun week everyone! :)

Second week of school

Grace here.

   Last week was our second full week.

   Many things happened like:

  Gabby's first dance class on Monday, along with Jackson and I's first music lesson, Guitar for me and drums for Jackson.
    Tuesday was our first day at homeschool PE. Quite fun.


        It was the week of fairy tales, fables, and folktales.  We read Jack and the Beanstalk, Three little pigs, goldilocks and the three bears, and then we made a map of all the fairytales.
  When we talked about The Three Little Pigs, we made houses.
One out of legos.
One out of gum drops
One out of sugar Cubes.
One out of Popsicle sticks.


       Here is a photo of our map.





   Here is a photo of a puppet show we put on about Jack and The Beanstalk.






Here are some photos of us building our houses and blowing them down. One house was made out of gum drops and tooth picks, one out of sugar cubes, one out of legos and one out of popcicle sticks. Which one do YOU think was easiest to blow down. The Lego house was blown to the side, the gumdrop house the sturdiest, besides the sugar cube house.



 We were told to make a commercial or an ad for our favorite tribute in the hunger games to get sponsors.
Below is a photo of Gabby's ad.



















We also talked about Indians and how they used different plants medicinal purposes.
    We took an adventure outside to collect three plants each and look up what Indians might have used them for.





   We hope you come back next week!!! Hope you had a great Labor Day if you live in the US.




   Grace, signing off.
