Learning Log #14

Week 15


This week was full of Yates Place fun, the BYU paleontology museum, football games, fall leaves, and beginning to decorate for Christmas!

We ended up helping yo serve the treat at the Cougar Club tent at BYU on game day because they only had two people working and that was not working out well for them, lol. When we asked Daniel after the game was over (and we had won!) what his favorite part of the night was, he said it was serving cake. So that’s a win for sure!!

Daniel is still loving Yates Place. He made diced potatoes and German pancakes in his cooking class this week, is still multiplying and dividing with fractions, still reading A Wizard of Earthsea, is learning about compounds in chemistry, and is going over some grammar concepts in language arts. He is still loving gymnastics, and his rehearsals for The Wizard of Oz are coming along too. We also saw both parts of Wicked in the theater this week so that was fun! His piano teacher is moving so he had his last lesson with her this week. We’ll need to find a new one! He’s making progress on his go-cart goal - breaking down the work into weekly goals instead of a monthly goal has been helpful!

  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!
