Homeschool Mother's Journal/Weekly Wrap-Up January 18

I'm a bit late in getting this post up, but I guess it's better late than never!  :-)

Yesterday (Friday) was one of those school days that I know I wish came everyday (where lightbulbs are just going off left and right and the kids are enthusiastic and cooperative).  But, I'll start with the beginning of the week and work up to Friday, lol.  :-)

Monday was our back to the grind day after our fun week in Washington, D.C.  You read all about it here and see more photos.


On Tuesday, it was another day of getting back into the kiddos' various subjects.  Kiddo #1 made a solar eclipse as well as a solar viewing box as part of his Astronomy studies.


I hosted my weekly linkup, "Try a New Recipe Tuesday" and this week has had 50 recipes shared so far.  Wow!  :-)  You can see my homemade hot chocolate recipe, as well as the others here.

On Wednesday, Kiddos 3 and 4 got to practice "shopping" and counting change with a new math game I found, as well as all of us attending a wonderful program at our local library.  It was on the history of the Lenape Indians here in Pennsylvania.  It was a great, hands-on program.  I shared a lot of photos about it here.



Kiddos 1 and 2 also had their new semester begin with their online class.  It is the same teacher they had last term and they liked him a lot.

On Thursday, Kiddo #1 watched a chemistry series on video that I found to supplement his studies.  He said it was "awesome," so I guess that's a good thing.  :-)




Friday was a great day.  One of those "I wish everyday were like today" type of days.  The kids' lightbulbs were going off all day like with Kiddo #3 and his fraction "pizzas:"


Kiddo #4 made some more of her "bead works" with her Perler Beads.  This weekend, she has graduated to three dimensional ones.  That kid is so creative!  :-)


Hope everyone had a great week, as well!  Glad I was finally able to get this post done and up!

I love the pizza fractions and that "shopping" math game for counting change. Those look great!

I didn't get my post up until today, so you weren't THAT late. ;)

I'm so glad your kiddo is enjoying Chemistry 101. It's a huge hit here, too.
