H is for Horse

This week of school has gone by so fast! Here are the kids coloring an animal picture after we read two books about lions and zebras. (Yes, these were the books that were overdue.)

 One of my favorite games from when I was in school is Around the World. Since Josiah doesn't have school mates to play against we play Around the Chairs. ha! When he answers correctly he gets to move to the next chair.

 He moves around the all the chairs and wins when he gets back to his seat. He LOVES playing this game! Mostly because he manages to climb on top of the table at some point.

 We also played a little game with his reading. If he read the word correctly then he got a point and if he didn't then mommy got the point. The prize was a piece of candy. He smoked me! :) I only use candy every once in a while since Josiah tends to be a little hyper active and doesn't need anything to "feed" his activeness. So he was so serious with this game because he really wanted that piece of candy!

 I will throw in now the funniest thing that happened today. We started learning about the letter 'K'. There was a little poem I read-

"K Animals"

Kitten, Koala, Kangaroo,

Which "K" animals

Live in the zoo?

Kitten, Koala, Kangaroo-

Which would you rather live with you?

He answered the first question right and then when we got to the last one he gets this weird look on his face and says, "a dog." I laughed so hard and he had no clue why I thought it was funny. haha!

Today we really started to work with a clock. Josiah has this fabulous Melissa and Doug clock that was gifted to him a while ago from his Godparents. It is perfect for school!
I love educational toys for their dual purpose. I mean its a toy and he has played with it as a toy, but now that we are using it for school Josiah thinks he is getting to play. Playing and learning, gotta love it! :)

During Bible Time on Saturday night Michael was teaching about commandments and used driving as an example. If you don't follow the road rules you crash. He had a little road (painters tape) with arrows (which you can't see in the pictures) pointing which way you can go.

 I think they had a lot fun with this activity. :) We left the tape down and Jman and Lady J has enjoyed playing with cars this week. I will hear J tell his sister to not go the wrong way and to obey all the commandments.

Thanks for stopping by this weeks' school post. I know our homeschooling adventure does not interest most people but I love looking back and reading just what we have done and remember the crazy things he says. It really has been an adventure. This marks 10 weeks already! While trying to fall asleep last night the thought hit me that Josiah turns five in just three months. How on earth do I have an almost five year old? Time is just flying by!
