BIBLE: Bible scriptures for the week, "And He is the head of the body, the church....Colossians 1:18"
We read scripture this week from Colossians, Ephesians, 1 Corinthians, and Ezekiel.
SPELLING/ENGLISH: We continued in our All About Spelling set. Lots of progress taking place. And wrapped up a few more lessons in our Primary Language Lessons book.
Reading-a-Loud: This week we are continuing with our book, "On the Banks of Plum Creek." So, so, good. Caleb says he doesn't like it as much as "Farmer Boy," but he seems to be enjoying it all the same.
Reading:
Goin Someplace Special, Patricia C. McKissack
Make Way for Ducklings, Robert McCloskey
Blueberries for Sal, Robert McCloskey
One Morning in Maine, Robert McCloskey
What is a Belly Button, First Questions & Answers about the Human Body, Time Life for Children, Virginia Alexandria

HISTORY/STATE STUDY: We studied the states of Illinois and Alabama. We also talked about the wagon trains moving west and how the pioneers lived in their covered wagons. We just love reading stories out of our Pioneers and Patriots book. I think I've said that before, but it's so true.
History activity: Make sweet potato pie. I was realistic enough to know that I would be the only one to eat it. So, we opted not to make the pie and just talk about it. We talked about George Washington Carver in our lessons. He was a black scientist who did a lot of research in regards to food.

SCIENCE: Our science this week consisted of looking at pictures of our bodies, bones and muscles and learning what happens with our food after we eat it. Suffice to say, I don't think Caleb is going to be a doctor. He could barely stand to look at any of the pictures or listen to the lessons. And science is his favorite subject. Obviously not internal science... Ha!
MATH: More worksheets for math....
MUSIC/ART: We listened to the Star-Spangled Banner and Caleb listened to me sing. Ummm, yeah, choir was not my subject. But, hey, it was just us so no big deal, right?
Swan Lake is our current topic and we've listened to the songs while riding in the car. It's a little easier for Caleb to swallow. And he actually asked to listen to the CD one day. I was impressed by that.

HEALTH/MANNERS: Our topic this week was "Coughing and Sneezing." A perfect one for Caleb with all the allergies he has. He did pretty good with it. Let's hope he carries it over into his real life.
I am definitely behind on our homeschool blog. Life just took me away from the computer and there wasn't time to get these posts done. But, that's okay...we were still doing school, even though the proof is not yet posted here for you to see. More posts coming and more pictures also.
Educating in Christ,
