Saturday and Sunday are daddy days. On Saturday, theology takes the place of art/life skills. They talk about things that are relevant for that particular week. Last weekend, they talked about Hanukkah and the Festival of Lights. 2 weekends ago, they talked about St. Nicholas. When there isn't a holiday, they talk about a bible story.

For math, we are doing AAA Math. It's all online but Nicholas sees computer time as fun time and doesn't want to do school stuff. So I take the lessons from there and make fun worksheets. This week we are working on the counting to 20 chapter.

For social studies, we look at maps. He LOVES maps. (He's getting a globe for christmas. Shh! don't tell!) We have a big map of the U.S. hanging up. He likes showing us where he lives and where Mimi lives. Once I get Animal of the Week going smoothly, I'm going to start an historical figure of the week.

For language arts, we do literature and phonics.

For literature, we are doing Rimes and Rhymes. This week is week 11. I print out/laminate the poem and we read, read, read it and read it again. Usually by the second day, he can recite it. If he goes all week without being able to recite it, it's no big deal. It's just for exposure, not memorization.

For phonics, we are doing Fab Phonics workbooks. He can pick out which works begin with the correct letter in no time. He tends to get frustrated with himself when he can't write the letter easily.

For science, we started Animal of the Week this week. He likes it. He thinks the anteater's tongue is ridiculous and keeps talking about how long and skinny it is. :P
