It’s time to begin again

Wow.. time sure does fly.  It’s been a long since I last posted.  
We finished up school on December 15 before we had a short break.  To short according to Noah.  Because we start back at it today. 
Before we had our break, Noah had to give me a report on a state:  he chose Massachusetts.  It had to be two FULL pages, with some pictures, at least.  He waited until the last minute, but he did it.  And he did a pretty good job at it also.

These are the pictures he chose, because, according to him, “these just say Massachusetts”.
I had him type the report.  (So I could read it)  Handwriting is NOT his best subject.  And now that we have his multiplication and division down.  Handwriting is what we are working heavily on.  
He found out that he had to come up with more info when typing.  -- A fact he didn’t like too much. 
All in all, I am proud of him for finishing this project – and on time!

School on Sunday??

When I got an email last week saying there was to be a Geography Expo on Sunday, I knew I should take Noah.  I mean, I kind of feel bad because we have not done a whole lot of geography this year.  This was put on by the homeschool group in our area. 
We are changing that for next year though.  This time next year he will be a geography champ (in my mind anyway)

So, here are a couple of pictures I took today. 

Love this one! His eyes, just say, Egypt has HOW MANY people?


So, they got passports and had to fill out some main facts, when they did that, they got to get a stamp.  In some cases it was a flag sticker. 
If Noah could not find the info, then he did not put on a stamp.  That was his choice, he said he didn’t fill it out completely.  {Even when the board didn’t have the info on it}  He’s a major rule follower – that one!  But that is a good thing.


And, most of the tables had food from the countries they could taste.  He is tasting fresh mango.  He didn’t like it. 

Back To Lessons

We have actually been back to our lessons for two weeks now, but I am really bad at this blogging stuff.   After Christmas "break"  it becomes clearer to me what Noah needs to know before finishing the year.  We start with geography.  I have plans to use the two puzzles I have to make this more fun for him.  He is not a workbook or paperwork person.  He would much rather be doing something. So, putting a world map puzzle together accomlishes a great many things as we discuss world geography!
