The first week of school

Yahoo! We have almost made it through the first week of school and it has been great. As some know, we are doing Learning Adventures. Our text books art The Bible and library books. We have a seperate math curriculum. This program is very interactive. I have had a great time reading with them and sharing in their learning. Colton has been reading with us in the Bible. We each read a verse. Colton may not know a word but Rebekah and I help him. He is enjoying reading this way. During the first 30 days, we are studying ancient Egypt. We started in Gen. 37 and have been reading the story of Joseph, we then read about Egypt and the desert. Our Language right now is dealing with the elements of Literature, we then apply that to the story. Today we had to write a paragraph defining the exposition of the story and then list the exposition of the story of Joseph. I am learning with them. The spelling words deal with spelling rules. This week's rule is the i before e except after c or when sounding as a as in neighbor and weigh. It is a good review for Bekah and a learning experience for Colton. They like school this year. A friend down the road has been working with us as she is doing the same unit study. They came over for our egyptian feast of fruits, I sent the older 2 to her house for their diorama of the nile river. Today we are at her house for watching videos on egypt. We were going to make bricks.

Well,I better go for now. We have disturbed her household long enough. Have a great day.
