Learning Log #9

 Week 9


We love General Conference weekend! This spread is our tradition. The days are like holidays at our house and Daniel just eats whatever he wants!

We also give him a list of words to listen for each session. Once he has heard all of them, he earns a new coloring book or Lego set!

His favorite plate, lol. 


And we finally decorated for fall/Halloween!

Good friends, hanging out

Monday was another shopping day, but this time Daniel decided to invest 100 homeschool bucks in the bank of mom instead of spending it all!

He found another snake at our creek. I don’t know how he does it. 

Working on his math lesson!

Looking for turtles at Spring Lake. He found some, and a giant catfish too (he thinks!). 

This little guy was found in our creek - a sucker fish of some sort. 

Brian is finally on land after crash landing in a lake. I love watching him read Hatchet!

Working on more math!

Playing the piano with his legs up and his eyes closed! 🤦🏼‍♀️ But his teacher said that he’s the most talented student she’s ever had at this level. So I guess it’s working!

We tried to see the Northern Lights but we looked too late!

This was my neighbor’s view and couple of hours before we went out!

Learning Log #1-2

  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!
