Blues Clues

Crawdad was not feeling well this week (I swear we are allergic to California. The kids hadn't been sick in five years; then we moved here, and they've been sick twice since December. Grrr.), so he had a light school week. He did Bible, math, reading, and listened to me finish Rabbit Hill. He also found the energy to play Blues Clues with his little sister. :)

OK, so maybe Cub didn't feel so great either. He didn't get a pass on his work this week, though. One of the bummers of being old enough to be headed into high school next year, I suppose. 

 This week Cub:

*Read in 2 Samuel for his independent study and focused on Proverbs 3:3-6 for our family Bible time

*FINALLY conquered adding and subtracting negative numbers in his Pre-Algebra book

*Completed 6 lessons in HOD history, finishing the Crusades and studying the Russian Revolution, started Robin Hood, appreciated art (above), and giggled at Emily Dickinson (her poetry really just isn't our thing)

*Finished reading about Archimedes in science, finished all but the last two chapters in his PAC science. The last two chapters are life science, which we are replacing with a study in forensics (fun! :))

*Completed 2 lessons in CLE grammar and 2 lessons in Winning with Writing, read and notebooked Shakespeare's Cymbeline, finished reading Around the World in 80 Days, did 2 lessons in Logic, and worked on some vocab words during family time

*Worked on Pink Panther on the piano, played his Sax, only took 4 Karate classes (since he wasn't feeling quite up to par, he skipped his 2 adult classes and his 2 boxing classes), passed his AWANA sections, and helped me clean for a work function Papa Bear had at our house this weekend

A little Shakespeare

Cub working on his attitude upper body strength :P

By Thursday, everyone was feeling better, and since it was a beautiful day, we decided to school outside.

Taz wrote her numbers 1-10, her name, my name, and her brothers' names, but the glare from Sunny California makes it really hard to see. It does, however, make fun with her shadow pretty easy. :)

 Crawdad compared fractions to determine greater than, less than, or equivalent....





And then we took a nap in the sun. :)
