Week 6 Activities

On Monday evening Hayzel and I made fall leaves cookies I found the recipe for on Pinterest.

I had some leaf cookie cutters on hand.

Yum!

I may have over mixed the dough and the colors didn’t stand out like I wanted them to, but they were delicious and its something I will try to make again.

Tuesday afternoon we had a little visitor.
Lucas came over and Hayzel has tons of fun playing and taking care of him.

On Wednesday afternoon, C and J joined us for rainy day crafts.
We made 2 fall themes projects.

Jayden was a little grossed out by the brown paint

Hayzel had an itch on his forehead while painting

"Uh oh!"

My little temperamental artist hard at work.

Brushes had to be provided for the glue because the idea of touching it was too much for a certain someone.

We ended the week with a trip to the Discovery Museum on Thursday and a relaxing day with dad on Friday. Both Tball and Soccer were cancelled to due to rain over the weekend.

Week 6

On Monday 10/08 Hayzel started school by doing a review of fractions.

Per his request, we played a quick game of Fraction Memory.

Then it was time for his 2nd Chapter Test.

He scored a 95 on a twenty question test. We went over the question he missed just so that I could make sure he fully understood why he got it wrong, then we were finally done with Fractions! For now at least.
Afterwards, Hayzel and I read some books on the four seasons, concentrating mostly on fall.
Earlier that morning Hayzel and I had driven Sr. to the airport. so we went online and through the use of Delta Airlines’ flight tracking system we tracked dad’s airplane as it flew him to his destination.

In the evening we baked fall cookies.

Tuesday, Hayzel worked on geography. He learned how to give directions using North, South, East, and West.

Next, he began the introductory worksheet on the next chapter in math: Operations.

Finally, he did a LA module in T4L consisting of words with the er, ir, ur sound.
I also gave him a list of 5 spelling words to write out.

We ended the day with a play date with our favorite little guy, Lucas.

Wednesday, Hayzel starting things off by completing a book report for the book, “Buster on the Farm.”

Then he did some spelling/penmanship work.


In geography, he learned about the compass rose.

I showed him how to find it in various different maps.



Then he made his own.



In the afternoon, due to rain, tball was cancelled and we stayed indoors for some Fall crafts.

On Thursday morning, Hayzel worked on  math terms. He learned the meaning of plus and minus signs, number sentences, addition and subtraction, and how to determine whether a number sentence is true or false.
He supplemented that with module on T4L and a worksheet.

In the afternoon we headed over for our first science class of the school year at the McAuliffe-Sheppard Discovery Museum in Concord. The classes are part of a year long study of the Earth and its galaxy. Thursday’s program was on:
Earth were we explored its land, water, ice and atmosphere.

Learning about the polar ice caps

Review on the water cycle

Water cycle demo

Earth and it's atmosphere. The air in the baggie represents the atmosphere surrounding the Earth.

This was a pretty interesting class and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

The next class calls for:
The Moon: Discover Earth's closest neighbor - its features, how it changes through the month, and its role in eclipses.
