Sigh...
Sometimes, being a big brother is better than being a superhero...
I recently came across a blog post about homeschooling moms and it was very inspirational. To read it, click here.
Spanish: Los Colores
In Spanish, we learned the colors. 10 colors are included (except for grey-gris). Your kids are more than welcome to add that color to their boxes. Another popular one was arcoiris-rainbow color.
The memory game is to either pick 6 out of the 10 colors, line up the color and then the English and Spanish in the same row or they can do all 10 and pile all 3 (color, English and Spanish) on top of each other.

Bible: Kidz Klub
Homemade German Chocolate Cake (requested by my hubby). I love using raw cacao.
French: Les Coleurs
We did the same thing as in Spanish class and used the same egg crates for the activity. I introduced the colors. We repeated the colors and compared them to other languages like English and Spanish. We also watched a video that pronounces the colors in French really well. There was a part in the short video where a girl went off in French talking about her family. The kids were super attentive and quiet, listening to every word. After the girl was done, you should've seen the kids' faces when I told them that we'll keep practicing French and that someday they'll understand everything she's saying. They were flabbergasted and loved the idea!
Then we added the French mini cards in the egg crates. They had fun sorting them all out. They did awesome!

Gym Co-op
This is what our gym co-op looks like. See pictures below. I teach ballet while my neighbors take the rest of the kids and do fun stuff with them. Every week is a different story. I love it!
Bible: Conversation about Angels
One of my neighbors takes the kids for half an hour every week and teaches them with My Father's World. The topic today was about things that are unseen and how they were also made by God. An example used was angels. K started asking me more about angels. He has heard of angels and we have read about them in the Bible, but this time, we dedicated an entire conversation to angels. It was fun talking about them and how they are real, even if we can't always see them. I showed him some pictures of angels. He loved them all!
Practical Life: Say No to Bullying and Yes to Courtesy and Mutual Respect
Even though this DVD is for parents, K and I watched it together and had a talk about it. Some of it was over his head, but he did grasp some things. I will keep this and watch it with him every 6 months or so. I am sure he will understand more and more about this topic as he gets older.

| K is writing better and better! He is so impressive! |

| This is how we display his penpal's correspondence. We change every time he gets a new letter from him. |
Bible: God made the Sand, Rocks and Soil
We sang some songs about how God made the sand, rocks and soil in the world and then we headed outside. I use the Karyn Henley curriculum.
