Week in Review: 2/21/22 - 2/26/22

This week was full, as usual! On Monday, I went to the doctor and found out that I am pregnant. This was very unexpected, and I'm still in shock! Baby Russell #7 is due on October 1. The kids are excited - well, all except Zeke. He is not happy about this news! 

Eli played his last basketball game of the season Friday night, but baseball season begins Monday! Mercie has a tennis match next week, but this week we had to deliver the 29 pizza kits she sold as a fundraiser! Titus also had TKD twice this week, and a belt test next Saturday. He is testing into yellow!

In science the boys and I read about Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They made the planets from modeling clay and we will be putting our solar system models together next week. We've learned quite a few interesting facts about the planets with this Gather 'Round Homeschool unit.

In history we are finishing up the book "Raiders from the Sea." This has been such a interesting book and the boys love listening to it each day! We've also been reading in "A Child's History of the World" about different emperors and kings. We read about the first monks and the contributions to society they made. I love the fact that I learn so much while homeschooling my children.

Silas is still working with decimals in math, and Titus has been introduced to decimals, fractions and percents. They're both doing really great! In grammar, Silas has been reviewing all of the punctuation and capitalization rules and started learning how to make good paragraphs. Titus has also been reviewing the capitalization and punctuation rules and is almost finished with his unit.

Mercie had a few fun experiments this week in her science! She is reviewing a new math program, His Vessel Textbooks Algebra 1. She has completed two lessons so far, and although it's a little harder for her because she hasn't finished Pre-Algebra yet, she said she likes the curriculum better than what she's currently using.

We did school on the couch several days this week since I've been so tired. The boys really enjoyed being in the living room! We may keep doing it this way.

We didn't do any preschool with Zeke this week, but he did find the bag of fine motor tools, pull out the syringe, and ask to do that activity. I gave him so green water and a few silicon ice trays and he played with this for about half an hour!

Mercie has still been bottle feeding our calf, whom she has named Stewie. He's doing great, eating two full bottles a day! We may move up to three bottles.

The boys have been practicing Bible Drill, since our church drill is going to be March 27. They are so goofy as soon as I try to get a picture! Zeke always grabs his Bible and wants to do exactly what his "best friends" (as he calls them) are doing.

How was your week?
