Homeschool...week 2

We started the week off by going to Brazos Bend State Park. Very cool. We have been there before and I always want to take visitors. This is one of the spiders at the park. There was a debate as to whether it is a Golden Orb Spider of a Golden Silk Spider and so we looked it up later for homeschool. Turns out they are the same spider. Very impressive webs.
I pulled this photo off the internet. We did not see any this large this time but we have in the past. This time was cool because my mother-in-law Terry found a baby and then they just kept getting bigger from there. I love that his tail is on the trail. Yep, you are that close.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday was more of Sing, Spell, Read, and Write. The girls learned their new address and we also reviewed nouns. We start pronouns next. Did you know that the definition is now a person, place, thing, or idea? When I was in school it was just a person, place, or thing. The kids are having a hard time with the idea one. I keep trying to tell them it means something you can feel but not see and they keep naming either the Holy Ghost (a person?) or things like air...which is a noun but not an idea. We also are moving right along with math, still doing addition and subtraction. We were suppose to start our history this last week but Audrey's birthday party was on Friday and we just didn't do it. Still off to a slow start but at least we are doing it!
