HS: Week 2b

We read, and we read, and we read a little bit more.
This week finished Week 2 of our Sonlight p4/5 curriculum and we finished "rowing" Harry and the Dirty Dog (reading it every day and completing fun activities related to it). Before we started school, I thought we would use Sonlight curriculum just for Ray and literature-based activities specifically for Chandler.  But it turns out that Chandler always wants to sit in on the Sonlight readings and Ray always wants to do the activities with Chandler's book of the week. 

I also realized that Owen Ray's curriculum is super light on Fridays so that families who only have a 4 day school week can easily adapt it to fit their needs.  On that fifth day, they usually go to a zoo, museum, park, library or some type of field trip.  Um, yes. I will be joining that group. 

Chandler's Activities for Week 2

CR Smith Museum

This week, we were able to go on our first field trip with our homeschool community.  We visited the CR Smith Museum in Fort Worth and learned all about airplanes... and legos.

It was hot this week.  Too hot.  But we still did our level best to get outside every day. 

  
My Little Inventors
Owen Ray invented an "Ant Killing Machine" and then attempted to execute his design using some of his blocks.  Chandler tried to help.
