Learning Log # 30

Week 30

We played lots of piano, enjoyed his reptile class, talked to Dad in Nepal at night before bed (the start of his day there) and in the morning (the end of his day there!). Being in opposite sides of the world is weird. 

We also did several math lessons and a lot of reading this week!

We had a little health unit this week. We’ll be having more and more of these as puberty comes more into play!

He had 400 homeschool bucks in the bank long enough to earn 100 in interest plus what he’d earned from the week! That allowed him to purchase the trip to the store for a $40 item - and this was his choice!

Dad is in Nepal for two weeks! He had a 10 hour layover in Hong Kong on his way there. He’s so far away from us!!

Flowers that Dad got us before he left

Extra snuggles while Dad is gone

Getting ready to take on the snow!

He accumulated three lost teeth for the tooth fairy, lol

Snapchat filters are funny 

Zupas after gymnastics!

One more Snapchat filter - he’s a handsome knight!


And here are a few pictures from Brian’s adventures! He got to celebrate Holi! Our friend, Clint, works with several orphanages in Nepal and Brian donated magic for a fundraiser for the orphanages. The fundraiser went really well and Brian went to Nepal with Clint to distribute more donated magic to the kids in the orphanages. They got to celebrate Holi with the kids at one of the facilities! He said it was an amazing experience. They are at another orphanage this week, higher in the Himalayas. It’s been quite the adventure. We may join him on this adventure next year!

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!
