Adventures in Learning with Mr. T and Slick: Week 4

Can you believe we've already completed 4 full weeks of school? As a teacher/mama who generally isn't even starting until now, it's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that we've got a solid month of school under our belts already.

Anyone want to guess what we are studying this week?

You guessed it, we've arrived in Egypt for a few weeks of in depth study. We are learning about the Nile River, the Pharaohs, the pyramids, and which of Noah's descendants migrated to this area after the incident at Tower of Babel.

A reenactment of the battle for the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt. Over all, we (including me) are learning a bunch and having a good time doing it

Hi friends!

Waving a hand from me to you! Hi friends! I know I've been keeping up on the #100HappyDay posts, but haven't been doing much actual blogging. I'll get back to that pretty soon. But I didn't want to overload you with my normal nonsense  and a post every day about #100HappyDays.
Let's catch up soon, shall we?

Day 98 of #100HappyDays
Meal Prep Monday! Getting ahead on food prep when living with this Crew is always a good thing.
It served me well later in the day when they all tumbled in the door ravenous and I was prepared to feed a small army. 💗

Adventures in Learning with Mr. T and Slick: Week 3

During Week 3, Mr. T and Slick's main focus was learning about the Tower of Babel, the Fertile Crescent and starting to learn the books of the Old Testament. The learned how to draw a map of the Bible lands (where all our study of history this year will take place) and a silly sentence to remember the names of the places on the map. I was very proud of their diligence this week because learning to draw a map full of names that make no sense to you is difficult, and they were champs. Also, the books of the Old Testament are some serious tongue-twisters and both of the boys tried really hard to learn to say (and spell) them correctly. It is a work in progress, but that's ok. Our current read-aloud book is The Tanglewoods' Secret about a little boy and girl living with their aunt. It's delightful and the boys are enjoying read-aloud time quite a bit.

Mr. T is working hard on his Bible Lands drawing.

Say the silly sentence with me, "E.T. Purrs in the Red Nile Med."
Ask the boys what that means next time you see them.

Day 96 of #100HappyDays
My evening in a nut shell. Painted nails, good book, planner love with colored pens, relaxing while caring for my family, sweet tea.
The laundry pile is smaller, there are clean sheets on the beds, the dishwasher has worked its magic, I got to read and sip tea and plan our meals and be excited about 'Shua and Lauren's upcoming visit.
Life is good.
