Learning Log #5

 WEEK 5


We learned about perspective when Daniel saw this snake is the roof of a house in our neighborhood. From this angle, it did *not* look like a snake!

But Daniel was persistent and from this angle, it looks more like a snake!


And from this angle, he was able to determine that it is actually a toy cobra snake. Which he was disappointed with, lol. He was really hoping it was real and alive!

We had an awesome lightning storm last week! We spent some time outside taking slow motion videos so we could see the lightning better. 

These three pictures are all the same lightning strike, just at different moments:



My sister came to visit! And Daniel enjoyed snuggling her - a lot. Me too!!

We moved out of our office so my sister could have her own space while she was here, so Daniel set up shop in the kitchen!

We all got to see Around The World in 80 Days and it was amazing! Daniel loved all the aerial acrobatics and especially loved Passepartout!

Another football game! We always sing the fight song and fly the flag before the game. Daniel is always our “flag runner” while we sing. 

We built Daniel’s wooden crane tinker crate this week!


And he’s still playing with it this morning!


Daniel's highlights from this week!

  The First Two Weeks! We are enjoying 6th grade so far! We are using Mia Academy as our main curriculum. This week we did quick reviews in place value and adding and subtracting in math. We are enjoying Mia's Language Arts, especially Reading Comprehension. It's fun to read snippets of so many books! In September we will start going to a co-op two days a week (most likely). They will supplement what Daniel is learning in math and LA and they will also cover chemistry and social studies - ancient civilizations this year. So that will be fun! This week we received our ants for our ant farm and they are currently in the dark, and we are hoping they are tunneling away! Daniel is still in gymnastics but he goes twice a week now and is in the advanced gymnastics class. He is also still taking piano, but we are really missing his group class! It's too bad that Presto Piano is only a 2 year program. Daniel's Aunt Bonnie came for a visit this week, too. She will be staying with...

Week 6 Daniel found another monarch caterpillar while at the park with friends this week!   He brought it home and put it in the same habitat as the other chrysalis. He also ran to the creek to get some milkweed for it - twice! Cause that caterpillar was very hungry!! Daniel found a crawdad at our creek and was worried enough about it that he wanted to keep it in the homeschool room with us while he worked. I love watching him rehearse for his play! He's doing so great. Daniel had an idea to create a light-weight wagon so he could pull things while he rode his bike, It worked! He was very excited about that. This is the second crawdad Daniel has found at our creek this week! Third overall. I didn't even know our creek had crawdads!! The new caterpillar moved to the top of the container and is starting to form his chrysalis! And here he is! Amazing. We've been taking a lot of walks lately - loving the fall weather! Family game night - this one is Race to the Treasure. I love...

  Week 5 This was a super fun week! Daniel got to go on a camp out with his dad. They made foil dinners and cooked them in the fire and roasted marshmallows and fruit, lol, because Daniel loves his fruit! There wasn’t much sleep that night but we still went to the BYU football game the  next day! It was a late one but we won!! The school week was filled with reading comprehension, learning arts, and math. Plus, Daniel started his first week at Yate’s Place! He’s loving it so far. One of his best friends also goes to Yate’s Place and they love that they get to go together!
