Monday: This week brought about another Museum/Music Lesson Monday.  The RMSC was our destination this week since we have been to the Strong National Museum of Play the previous two times.  The kids were excited to get to RMSC.  We spent much of our time in Light Here/Light Now making a large bubble to pop, making ourselves bigger and smaller in the concave/convex mirror and playing songs on the “Laser Harp”.

We then moved on to the K’NEX Exhibit where even Ava found something she could build!

Tuesday: With Thanksgiving drawing near we are finding more time to slow down the work load and do other fun things.  Tuesday brought about something called Candy Science, in which we found an educational way to use up some of our Halloween candy. (More about these experiments on Tuesday for my Hip Homeschool Hop)

Wednesday: Story time with Mr. Mike was particularly fun this week because he read about one of Ava’s favorite subjects…..Dinosaurs.  The story this week was How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? by Jane Yolen.

Thursday: Winter time brings one of the kids favorite Thursday activities….Homeschool Ice Skating.  Not only do they enjoy ice skating, but they love the chance to connect with friends they don’t always get to see.

Friday: Today we spent time reflecting on the things we are thankful for.  We started by making a list of those things.  Then the kids took to writing a poem that not only included some of those things, but each line started with a letter in the word Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Acrostic Poems:

Jayden’s

Thanksgiving reminds me to be thankful for many things.

How about things like my family

And friends.

Next, crafts give me something to do.

Knowing the electric is

Surging in my house, and

Giving me the power to watch tv

Is another reason I am thankful.

Very much I like to do math.

I am thankful for the paper to write.

Now I  must include food, water, and

Games to end my list.

Chloe’s

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on all the things I am thankful for.

Homeschooling being one of them,

And also my comfy bed.

Next on my list is books and more books!

Knitting clothes is not my thing, but I would gladly

Shop the stores for them.

Gymnastics is another one.

It keeps me slim and it’s

Very fun!

I am also thankful for

Notebooks, electricity, water, and food.

Giving special recognition to my family and friends.
