Journeys of Captain James CookWe had some fun this week. Not anything big and exciting...but little funs that make those childhood memories. We played with cousins, we went ice skating, lots of swim practices for Elvis and Dr. Kazam.
We did some school work too!
This week we studied Captain James Cook. We learned about the early discoveries and explorations of Australia. We followed Captain Cook's journeys on our maps. Cubby and MMM learned their compass points. We also learned to 7 continents and 4 oceans.
We added Cook to our timeline to see that his explorations took place at the same time as the American revolution. We looked at portraits of Cook and saw that his clothes were very similar George Washington's clothes.
The kids thought it was so hysterical that explorers needed to bring artists with them on their travels because no one had a camera! LOL! Talk about being replaced by technology!
We looked up some Australian and looked at pictures of the flora and fauna.
Elvis finished Module 6 in his chemistry. Stoichiometry was a hard learn for him buthe got it!! He took his exam and got a 94%!!! YAY!!!
He also finished Chapter 9 in Teaching Textbooks Algebra 2. After struggling with Chalkdust in the begin ning of the year, we decided to go back to TT. That was a wonderful decision for us. He is back on track...and he is using the Larson book as back-up and review. We will also use Life of Fred as a review for Geometry over the summer before he takes the PSAT.
Elvis finished another unit in World Lit and continues reading in Dante's Inferno. he also read the Book Theif this week. He is plugging along in his Grammar. he is studying Spinoza in Philosophy.
This weekend we will be swimming in Silver Championships, so he is all tapered and shaved and ready to go!
Dr. Kazam finished CLE Reading 6. She loved the book! She learned so much from this program including literary devices and how to edit and correct her own work.
We added Life of Fred Fractions to her Maths. She is finishing up CLE level 500. Instead of rushing into 600, I want to use LOF to solidify wat she learned in 500. She is loving Fred!
Dr. Kazam is also all tapered and ready to swim at Silvers. I wish I had my replacement Camera!
The little boys did their lessons ok. As long as I sit there with them, they will get it done...otherwise OY VEY! The sun has finally appeared and the thermometer is above freezing, so my littlies spent so much time out doors. I gave them some chores this week and they took to them like ducks to water. They like bein helpful...now to teach them to clean up their toys. Their room is a lego explosion!
The little boys have learned to sit through and ENJOY read alouds! YAY!!! We have read so many books this week.
Now off to watch the new Phineas and Ferb!!!! Brand new episode!

Sounds like a wonderful week.
I love it when they finally can listen to read aloud chapter books. My oldest could do it at age 2 but the others took so much longer. It was really an exercise in patience for me!
It sounds like you all had a very productive week. Thanks for sharing it.
I haven't seen my children for the last three days. They are outside before breakfast and then these strange muddy things show up for dinner. Nobody wants to be stuck in the house when it is gorgeous out.
Sounds like a fun week with Cook!
Oy Vay! Love it. The lego explosion has also happened at my house. Sounds like you enjoy school as much as your kids. Thanks for sharing your week.
