WB 25 Ancient Egypt

We will be studying Ancient Egypt this month for our history. I put up our Egypt poster from out DK book.

I purchased beautiful Egypt notebooking pages from Currclick. I am reading The Story of the World Ancient times as the read aloud then when study what the read aloud was about.For example if we read about Hieroglyphics then we will research using our living books about Hieroglyphics then I have the kids write what they learned on the notebook pages.They all use age appropriate notebooking pages.
Since I am getting back into a routine I am not blogging day to day but I plan to get back to it.

WB 25 Major Concept, Med.WS, & Wisdom Quiz

We began school Monday 8/3. s
It always takes a few weeks for both Me and the kids to get back in the routine. So this week I took the time making sure they understand what they are to do. We did not get all the subject
done because I add them slowly and make sure they understand their lessons etc.
I spent a large amount of time on the WBLA this week. I went to IEW seminar at a local homeschool curriculum fair.They stressed to make sure the students repeat the sentences orally before they write them down. This has made a huge difference with the younger students with the WBLA. The older students have used the WBLA for sometime so they just jump right in. By the way WBLA stands for Wisdom Booklet Language Arts.



My husband finally got his lap dog we got a Chihuahua puppy and named him ChuCho which means God is Salvation.This is Nehemiah & Job holding the puppy who loves any ones lap .Behind them is our Wisdom Booklets on a bookshelf :O)
