Teach by Example ~ Mom School Weeks 5 & 6

Image
I combined Mom School because my family was super busy getting ready to move and now that we are moved we have lots of unpacking to do. Annette and I are also painting the kitchen and dining room too! We are super excited with our new cool color, and it's actually a cool color. After living in a small space and loving my warm cozy browns and beige I needed something that was airy, light, and breezy. Dreamy Clouds is the color we picked!

Sometimes I listen to an audio book but usually it's music. With your kids you can use that for podcast too. I know my older kiddos listen to a lot of podcast on real-estate and investing. I didn't actually watch a tutorial. I did watch a video of my son who is away at ALERT International, so I wrote about that. Science was funny. On our way to Annette's soccer game Lance had to use a barf bag. Later after the soccer game on the...

Strange things are happening with my blog.  my pages are gone at the top. I use to have different tabs The search button isn't there I just noticed today that my friends list is gone Very strange.  These are the journals we used today. Lance used the Autumn, Ethan used the Library Based Journal, and I the Winter. I also completed some history today. It was my "teach-by-example" moment.  It took be a good hour to complete this. I used the timelines that correspond with the Mystery of History. I hope to encourage Ethan =) The kids and I watched Undercover Boss: Sky Zone. Ethan, Lance, and myself completed a Film Study Page.
