The Three Little Piggies

These three Guinea pigs belong to Brent, Annette, and Caleb.
Annette and Caleb are away visiting their Auntie R out of state.

Brent is home but guess who is taking care of the guinea pigs though? Ethan. He's been making sure they have Timothy Hay, food, water, and that they they have a clean home.
Ethan was cleaning their cage and put the guinea pigs in the laundry basket.

Ethan has done a great job too, especially since they aren't even his little gals.

How We Use The Thinking Tree Journals for 8th Grade

Image
It's no secret that I absolutely LOVE the Thinking Tree journals and to tell you the truth I wasn't sure how to incorporate them in our homeschooling days this year. My son is a reluctant reader/learner and needs more structure. I struggled a bit with how to mesh the journals with my son's school days because he does need more guidance. Thankfully I found a solution. It's not exactly how I pictured us using our Fun-Schooling journals but we are using them!!! Yay! If you are more structured homeschooler and were wondering how to incorporate The Thinking Tree ~Fun-Schooling journals for creative & active kids into your homeschool.

He's currently using: The Library Based Journal for Boys How to Make Money Timeline of World History Are You a Math Genius Word Hunt And he'll probably start United States Geography soon as well.

My 8th grade plans that I wrote back in June and it has changed a bit from in October too. Mostly the writing. I really need to buckle down and stick with a writing program with him. Yikes, crazy me. My two oldest were more natural writers than my younger ones. For the month of November Ethan has used

Fun-Schooling Ethan (8th Grade)

We recently moved and are super excited about having a 'school' room again. A place to put our school books and sometimes meet for a subject that we do together. My 8th grade son Ethan has been doing so light school using the Thinking Tree books and by light I don't mean light learning or not doing much. I mean light on subjects but with the Thinking Tree journals he covers a lot.  We rotate the Timeline with the United States Handbook so right now his days include: Spelling Creative Writing Research Economics Math Texas History How to write an adversitement Career Reading With the Thinking Tree journals it's amazing with how much "cross-learning" they get. For instance with How to Make Money Ethan is learning about jobs, economics, and research. With the How to Make Money Journal Ethan uses the internet and a DK book called Careers .
