This is a video of Shelby doing her Map work at the end of a day. We have moved from the schoolroom into the living room at this point. Matthew had come into watch TV and Abigail was trying to get my attention. Mommy was tired and trying to not get frustrated. Shelby got nervous with the camera and loss her place but you do get to see her read, know her North, South, East and West.

Week 17- completing school work
Here are some pictures of Shelby doing her schoolwork and finishing up some of her books. Abigail is sitting in her high chair "working" too. Abigail loves to do puzzles, play with stickers, color, work with beads and all sorts of fun things while Shelby does school. Abigail likes to feel like a big girl.
We will do one more day of school work before we go on Christmas Break next week. This is to catch up on some work we got behind on. Then we take a break for a week or two (depends on our mood).

Week 17 - Mothers Day Out Performance
This week the kids had their Mothers Day Out Performance. The video's are already posted for Matthew and Abigail. In the slide show are some pictures of the kids decorating cookies at home this week. We made several different kids for Shelby to take to her one day a week school.
We also FINALLY got up our Christmas tree. Mike again is working 12 hour days this week but I found time to get it done.
On Thursday this week Abigail and Matthew had their Christmas party at school. There are a few shots of them in the slide show. Abigail is next to her friend Natalie and Matthew is posing with his best friend Colton.
I will put Shelby's school day and work on another post!

Week 16- Theater
This week was the kids Theater performance. Once I get the videos I will upload them for all to see. Shelby played Violet the shy flower from "Alice and Wonderland" and Matthew was a mouse from the "Lion and the Mouse" fable. They also had other songs they performed.
The kids did a great job but the sound system was horrible. I am not sure if we will use this school again in the future. Shelby and Matthew had a great time though and learned a lot. That is what is important.
Daddy is now working 12 hour days 6 days a week so mommy honestly can't remember what we did for school. Her math got done, her writing got done, her map work got done, her reading got done but I don't remember any of it.

Week 15- Our first Snow day!
Sorry not much detail but still catching up! This week Shelby and Matthew did a bunch of crafts for Christmas presents. There are not many pictures of those since they are gifts! I will say we did mix colors, oil and water (to see what will happen) and had lots of fun. They also put up their bulletin board for December and wrote out their Christmas list.
We had our first SNOW DAY of the winter (very rare to even have a snow day) this week on Friday. It blew for about 30 minutes before the sun came out. Nothing stuck but we did have fun running outside to play in it. In the slide show you will see some pictures of the kids playing.
Matthew spent Wednesday cooking with Mommy. We made homemade honey wheat bread and potato soup. He had a blast making the bread and was very impressed with how it turned out. He says Mommy is the best baker in the world!
Shelby worked on subtraction this week, reading and decoding letter blends and finishing up her handwriting book.
We will start new books after the Christmas break and a new Handwriting/Science/Art book. The kids are very excited.

Weeks 12-14 Thanksgiving
Here I am playing catch up. Over weeks 12-14 Shelby focused more on math, writing and reading. We did cover science and history in living books. We also made lots of crafts and redid the playroom. We made leafs to hang on Thanksgiving, puppets to play with and even baked.
Shelby helped me with the Thanksgiving meal and loved cooking. She was able to read the recipes and do most of it herself. She LOVES cracking eggs and measuring out the ingredients.
Poor Abigail got sick with a double ear infection the week of Thanksgiving and just wanted to sleep all day (first day the pain had gone away). The pictures show her sleeping in her high chair instead of eating. Shelby ate everything and Matthew only ate his usual staples. He loved the decorations but wanted nothing to do with the food.
The slideshow below shows Abigail playing at school, our new schoolroom/playroom. Craft making time and Thanksgiving.
