I think we've got a plan though. Since my husband does MFW Bible in the evening with my kids, we just get in the Abeka Bible lesson with S through DVD in the mornings. We are taking a break with our Apologia science (this was the hardest part for my kids because they loved learning about the planets) to finish up S's Abeka science with him through the DVD. We also do S's Health, Safety, and Manners Abeka lessons with him and he does MFW History with us. Soon, S's Abeka history lessons will start up and I think we will have to split up at that point and S do his history lessons with the DVD teacher while I do MFW history with J and A. I don't know...we'll think more about that obstacle when we come to it I guess.
Now for what we did this week....
In history, we learned about Eli Whitney and the cotton gin. Sadly, we did not get around to picking the fake seeds out of the cotton balls though like we had planned, but some things just fall by the way side I guess. The kids did have some fun this week "making rain" in their science experiment though.
The steam coming from the boiling water represented a cloud. |
The ice cubes in the dish represented cold air. |
Warm, moist air (the steam/cloud) met up with the cold air (the ice cubes)... |
...Thus creating "raindrops" . |
And the "raindrops" begin to fall |
All in all, it was a good week :)
Ha! Better than us... we did the cotton thing, but skip the rain experiment. You do what you can and you just have to move on sometimes, right?
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine all the adjustments you all must have. Sending blessings your way.
You are so right! That is so funny...between the two of us, we'll get it all done ;)
