In my life this week...
Um... stuff. The weather was nice this week... I remember that. Lol. It zoomed by so quickly, I can barely remember what took place, to be completely honest. Next week, we are off of school again. Got some Valentine's fun stuff to do, homeschool group activities, and Preston will be spending the night with Grandma Jill & Grandpa Steve. Hooray for a break!

Last Saturday, Michael and I got out for a bit to go see some friends and some good music. Our friend Adrian was hosting a house show at his loft in Dallas... and Eimi and Drue were there, with Evie! Squeeee! It was great to see them, it's been so long! The other band playing with Matt & Toby, and they were so fun. The played their songs and Emery songs and made the audience (about 50 people) ask them questions and such. Made for a really fun evening, for sure!

In our Homeschool this week...
Tot School: We continued the 1plus1plus1equals1.net "Tot School" printables this week with letter "S" for Stars! We read a few books having to do with stars, like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Full Moon & Star, Shining Star, Star Light Star Bright. Callen has also started to enjoy playing dominoes. Or, at the very least, making a big mess with them around the house!
Bible: This week's name of Jesus was Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Preston's memory verse is Rev. 17:14 and we looked up verses in The Discoverer's Bible that talked about God is the ultimate authority above all other authorities. We made a crown that is only for Jesus and put it on display

Reading/Writing: We continued Spelling by Sound & Structure. Continued with lesson 55-57 in Primary Language Lessons. We continued our read-aloud, On the Banks of Plum Creek, by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
History: This week Preston learned Samuel Morse and the telegraph, along with Florida and Texas. We read: Radio Rescue, The Great Pig Search, Welcome to the River of Grass, Armadillo from Amarillo and The Inside Outside Book of Texas. Preston did a great scratch representation in his Scratch & Sketch book.
Math: Preston continued Part B of Math Mammoth, Second Grade. Continued Chapter 8, and worked on subtracting three-digit numbers and regrouping. Busted out the addition and subtraction flashcards to help him get up to speed on the facts. And we worked on some word problems, which he absolutely loves. He tells me, "Mom, if there's ever a math problem I can't figure out, just put it into a word problem and I can do it!" =)
Science: This week's lesson was about breathing air in Science with Air, but we had already covered most of what was in the lesson so we just kinda read over it again. We were supposed to do "Sour Things" in Science in the Kitchen, but I didn't have the supplies needed for some of the fun experiments so we'll do that one another time down the road.
Music/Art: Our patriotic songs this week are "You're a Grand 'Ole Flag" and "Stars & Stripes Forever." We also continued our World's Greatest Artists, Vol 1 unit study, with our fourth artist: Van Gogh. This week, we read from Usborne Children's Book of Art and Famous Artists. We toured my bathroom. Lol! I have 7 prints of Van Gogh paintings hung up in there... so it was like our own little trip to the museum, without leaving the house. Preston colored a picture much like Starry Night in My Very First Art Coloring Book with Stickers. We finished up listening to tracks from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.
Spanish: Continued with the next episode of Salsa. We reviewed words having to do with "Los Animales Domesticos" in our First Thousand Words in Spanish and went through some review using the Spanish Words & Phrases Flashcards.
We are using Adventures in My Father's World. See our curriculum here.
