Learning Logs 28 & 29

 Learning Logs 28 and 29

Ok! I think this is working. I have combined last week with this week!

Last week was adventure week at Yate's Place! We participated in all but one of the adventures. The kids got to go to the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium (yes, during a measles outbreak !! but Daniel is vaccinated so we didn't really worry when we heard the news), the Provo Rec Center, and the Spanish Fork Adventure Heights all abilities park! What a fun week. They still got to learn, but they also did a ton of playing. Plus Daniel got to help some friends care for their friend's animals on a working farm! He even came home with duck eggs that he hoped would hatch, lol. Had to explain that one.

This past week was a regular week full of learning at Yates Place and outdoor exploration and learning at home! Plus we got to see our friend, Olivia's, play which was extra fun since her school performed The Wizard of Oz too! She was even a flying monkey, just like Daniel was in his! I also had a colonoscopy and Daniel decided to help with my prep by reminding me not to eat, LOL! I woke up to these post-it notes ALLLL over the house! What a riot!

Daniel said they are studying ancient Greece and the Olympic games in his ancient civilization class at Yates Place and they are planning to have a games day this week. He got a little worried when he heard that the losers had to wear pull-ups and run through a public park, but we clarified that he would still be wearing pants, too. LOLOL!

He also caught his first snake of the season and has a new habitat all set up for it! Bring on the warm weather!!

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!
