<br />
Worship Services. Although financially it's not always nice having hubby home, it is nice to have him attend worship services with us as a family!<br />
<br />
We had planned on going to a bonfire/cookout hosted by some of our church family, but the weather had other ideas. It poured down 10 minutes before we were ready to leave. <br />
<br />
Monday: <br />
<br />
Therapy.<br />
<br />
Science: We found a tree frog and discussed camoflage. This poor, unfortunate frog to be found by a family of homeschoolers! We took him around from place to place to see if he would camoflage himself to the color of the item where we put him.<br />
<br />
Science/lifeskills: Shayla watched as dad patched a lawn mower tire. *He is really starting to get into the role of Homeschool Dad!<br />
<br />
Science/Caring: We have been taking care of two small kitties. The mother is not taking care of them well. I do not believe she makes enough milk for them both.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Geography/Social Studies: Create Your Own Country. We looked at maps and the globe and Shayla decided where her country would be located.<br />
<br />
She made a map and flag of ShaylaLand and what currency and government would be. <br />
<br />
Activities: <br />
Dance Ribbon. Bended a wire clothes hanger into a circle shape, then tied many colored bandannas on it and danced and ran outside. It was a breezy day, so we discussed how the wind helped the movement. (music & movement, science, phys ed)<br />
<br />
Dancing With Scarves. Shayla chose to listen to the Rome VBS music from several years ago to dance to. (phys ed, music & movement)<br />
<br />
Detergent Poster Paint. Mix powdered paint with liquid laundry detergent. Yes, we actually had this stuff on hand! I bought the powdered paint many moons ago when Ben Franklin was going out of business. It made a great paint, just a little on the runny side. (art, measurements and mixing)<br />
<br />
Digging for Treasure. Shayla loves this game. I hid 24 small toys in the rock pile and she used spoons, shovels, etc to find them. I would have used the sand pile, but we have outside cats now, and um...well, we no longer play in the sand.<br />
<br />
Tuesday: <br />

<br />
After reading the story, we discussed why simple pictures may be best and why it would have been good advice for the characters in the story.<br />
<br />

I had one of those temporarily insane moments and let her use my camera to take pictures. We tried wildlife and still-life shots. The wild life shots, well, they didn't turn out well since the wildlife wouldn't remain still. But here is one of her still life shots.<br />
<br />
Field Trips: It just so happened that we took a field trip of sorts to watch Morgan have her second batch of senior pictures taken with a photographer. These were outside shots and he explained to us what he was looking for as far as sunlight and backgrounds and such. <br />
<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We discussed common sense. How the whole situation could have been avoided if Henry would have used common sense and thought for himself and how frustrated Liza was with having to explain everything.

I filled an ice cream bucket with water and we measured the amount at 4 inches. Shayla used a bowl to transfer the water from the full bucket to an empty bucket. We then measured the water at 3-1/2 inches, so we found that we lost 1/2 inch in transferring. <br />
<br />
Then the fun begins, I poked several holes in the bottom of the bowl used to transfer the water. This time she only had 1-1/2 inches of water! She lost half of her water because of the holes in the bucket. <br />
<br />
(reading, music, character, math, measurements, estimating, phys ed)<br />
<br />
<br />
This would be a great game as a relay race with more children!<br />
<br />
Social Studies: Plan a Dream Vacation. Based on Shayla's interest in dogs, we planned a dream vacation attending the largest dog show in the world, which was in Denmark. First, we located Denmark on the globe. Then we watched a youtube on the dog show and another on the country of Denmark.

<br />
Worship services. We all enjoyed and took much from the message about humility, gentleness, and patience.<br />
<br />
Learning Games: Played Dora memory matching card game. Mom won with 19 matches to Shayla's 17.<br />

Even though this is our last year with the public school (Morgan is a senior! Yay!) We still thought it would be nice to attend the ceremony. Especially since Morgan was playing in the band for the ceremony AND because after the "official" ceremony, a group of Christians representing many churches and denominations in the county, came together and prayed around the new school. It was an awesome experience and I feel privileged that we were able to be a part of this!</div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Family movie: Yes, I consider this to be school. Shayla doesn't watch television. Her ADHD brain can't sit still long enough. I have been picking family movies on Netflix based on an email list of good movies sent out from Above Rubies awhile back. </div><br />
Today we watched Lassie. We used the movie to discuss many social/character traits such as: love, honesty, forgiveness, etc. In the end, she really enjoyed the movie!<br />

<ul><li>Rhythm and expression. The book was a variation of the song. </li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Music & Movement</li>
<li>Discussed onomatopoeia - words that imitate sounds, like squish, or buzz. Identified examples of onomatopoeia in the story.</li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Sang and did movements to other verses/obstacles of the song/story. Some were different verses that we had heard before and others we made up ourselves.</li>
<li>Used teddy bears to demonstrate location/directional oppositional words (over-under, in-out, on-off, above-below)</li>

Shayla decided that this story was fictional and I asked her to support her reasoning. She made several good arguements, including the hunters did not have guns - in case they were attacked, and you would not take small children and babies hunting for bears.</li>

</ul>Chalk Games. <br />
<ul><li>hopscotch (phys ed)</li>
<li>Jumping contest. Use chalk to mark how far each person can jump, then measure (math, measurements)</li>
<li>Hit the Spot. Draw a circle in the middle of the playing field. Bounce a tennis ball in the circle. Another player catches ball, or you can bounce it against a wall. Player is out when they do not bounce ball in the spot. (movement, eye/hand co-ordination)</li>

<li>Review contractions. Identified contractions in the book and told what words made up the shortened word. Discussed what letters were omitted when the word was shortened. </li>
<li>The names of the children in this story are the days of the week. We sang Dr. Jean's Days of the Week song and practiced writing out the days of the week. *Note to self: Need to review capitalization rules.</li>
<li>Comprehension: How did the mother guess which foods the witch had turned her children into? </li>
<li>Character trait: Obedience. How would the story have changed if the children would have obeyed their mother?</li>
<li>I made up an awesome worksheet for this. I used Google image to make the foods the children asked the mother to get and the foods the children were turned into. She was going to cut them out and glue them on a paper. In between, she would write the name of the child (Sunday, Monday, etc) BUT, my printer was giving me issues and when I was working on those, my computer restarted and all my hard work was GONE! UGH!</li>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> Infield for an afternoon of playing on the playground, putt-putt golfing (well, in Shayla's case, it was more like coralling. :) And riding in the go-karts. Shayla was too short to drive the big cars, but she liked it so much she asked Dad if she could go by herself in the little cars. Whoa! Did someone take my child and replace her with a look-alike? </div><br />
We had a great time and also enjoyed socializing with some of our church family. Well, at least, Mom and Dad did. :)<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We read several safety themed books as discussion starters, although I have misplaced the list.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong>Street Safety. </strong></div><ul><li><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We practiced this first hand when going to the neighboring community for a theater field trip. We discussed the walk/don't walk signs at the intersections and how to use the traffic lights if the intersections would not have a signal at the crosswalk. </div></li>
<li><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Practiced looking right, left, and right again at home. (This was good because she needs help with her directions, as she still frequently confuses left and right).</div></li>
<li><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Learned the poem that I learned as a child. It must've been a good one, because it has stuck with me all these years :) </div></li>
</ul><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Before you cross the street, </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">use your eyes,</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">use your ears,</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">and then use your feet.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong>Fire Safety.</strong></div><ul><li><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Last fall, Shayla went through the fire safety trailer at our fair. It was nice because since it was only our family touring at the time, we were able to get lots of one-on-one attention and ask plenty of questions.</div></li>
<li><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We also attended the fire safety presentations at the Christian school we are affiliated with last fall and spring.</div></li>
<li>We read Arthur's Fire Drill</li>
<li>Discussed fire escape plans for each room of our home.</li>
<li>Most fires can be prevented. Listed ways of preventing fires.</li>
<li>Looked at the GS manual and identified causes of fires in the house picture.</li>
<li>Checked the smoke detector (no real need for that since it seems to go off everytime I cook) :)</li>
<li>Practiced Stop, Drop, and Roll. That's always a favorite to review.</li>
</ul><br />
<strong>Playground Safety.</strong><br />
<ul><li>Read Barney's Safety book</li>
<li>Again, we had a real life discussion starter, when at our local park, Shayla was swinging. I noticed as she went up the bottom of the swing was almost cracked clear through. I told her to quickly get off the swing. Obedience paid off this time, she was able to get off without the swing breaking on her. After she got off, I showed her why I had asked her to and thanked her for her obedience. (Can you tell we are <em>still </em>working on those character lessons?) :)</li>
<li>That same day, a little boy walked into Shayla as she was swinging. She knocked him down. Luckily he wasn't hurt badly and it really drove home the point of swing safety.</li>
<li>Discussed other playground safety rules.</li>
</ul><strong>Pool/Swimming Safety.</strong><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Since it's the season, we discussed pool and swimming safety even though it wasn't included in the manual.</div><br />
<strong>First Aid.</strong><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY82xKsllM9ydYb6xL_M5Sn5MbxToCEEvlfa61VglxpNlXwVcJ5fYuQrzXHItxjg3s5kkOMNX5ZgZgICCopHIQqExPjALziK5PDR610JJiz3_wGS0BgfS2iliNm0iifaNRee3mPlMpIsGe/s1600/100_3805.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY82xKsllM9ydYb6xL_M5Sn5MbxToCEEvlfa61VglxpNlXwVcJ5fYuQrzXHItxjg3s5kkOMNX5ZgZgICCopHIQqExPjALziK5PDR610JJiz3_wGS0BgfS2iliNm0iifaNRee3mPlMpIsGe/s200/100_3805.jpg" t8="true" width="200px" /></a>Covered the following topics:</div><ul><li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Making a first aid kit (already did)</li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">infections.</li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">bites and stings</li>
<li>burns</li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">and choking. </li>
</ul><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Here she is practicing the Heimlich manuever on me. She was less than excited about doing it, so I had to add a little dramatic coughing to make it more realistic.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

<br />
<strong>Bible:</strong> Attended worship services. This was especially fun because Dad was able to attend with us today! The message: Eat Your Lima Beans! Yeah, that brought up some conversation today!<br />
<br />
<strong>Phys Ed:</strong> Played Wii Fit and outside playtime (between rain showers).<br />
<br />
Nothing really in the way of schoolwork, but I was pleased in several ways today. First off, she did some independent playing for a lengthy amount of time. She thought of original story ideas, then played it out with her little people. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9xSsuKi-rBIYsWpDAeUhWYP7IgrMoyp1WSKLQ301KSQ4qnMwGetmQ3mqy4PYb_P1D4tqaF9flQxL0RT8V03X4HAj654El9okvfvxKoP6g5zCAOl0j3Ctb85f1HRxDglAc4b6f74H_aDor/s1600/100_3616.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200px" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9xSsuKi-rBIYsWpDAeUhWYP7IgrMoyp1WSKLQ301KSQ4qnMwGetmQ3mqy4PYb_P1D4tqaF9flQxL0RT8V03X4HAj654El9okvfvxKoP6g5zCAOl0j3Ctb85f1HRxDglAc4b6f74H_aDor/s200/100_3616.jpg" width="150px" /></a>I know some are scratching their heads right now, but Shayla has problems with engaging in activities by herself and playing. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Another first, she held little Sophie by herself! Again, this is a milestone in our home, but confusing to others. </div><br />
We have had all kinds of baby puppies, kittens, and about every other animal. Shayla has never held one. This is the first time ever!<br />
<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong>Read aloud:</strong> We snuggled together on this dreary day and read a pile of library books that Shayla had chosen last week. It was fun to sit and take the time to do this. We haven't done this in so long.</div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Social Studies: Finished reading the Operation Christmas Child newsletter and identifying countries on the globe. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Our power went out for about 3 hours. I never realized how much we miss it. Maybe our family needs to look into purchasing a generator because I don't think I could last long without electric.</div><br />
<strong><em>Monday: </em></strong><br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong>WHAT A DAY!</strong> Shayla was up half the night vomiting. She didn't appear to have any other symptoms and she said her stomach did not hurt. I decided to let her sleep in after the rough night for the whole family. I was just getting ready to check on her again just before 10am when I heard a pitiful whining sound. I thought the new puppy had found her room and wanted to wake her. WRONG! Instead I discovered it was Shayla. I thought she was being silly and went to her. She was in the middle of a full blown seizure! OMG! Words can not even begin to describe how I felt as my baby lay there with her eyes rolled up in her head and thrashing all over! I didn't know if she was dreaming or what since she had never had a seizure before. I tried to wake her up, then came the awful gurgling, coughing sound and the gasping for air. I assume she was trying to swallow her tongue. Having never experienced this before, I picked her up and moved her to the couch because I couldn't get into her bunkbed with her very well. </div><br />
I talked, yelled, and cried to her. I held her head and looked into her eyes. She couldn't make eye contact with me. When the seizure started to settle down, she looked at me, but I could tell she did not recognize me. Then all of the sudden, I could see it coming over her face. She recognized me and tried to speak, but the words wouldn't come. <br />
<br />
I'm sure the whole ordeal only lasted a few minutes, but at that time, my whole world stood still! <br />
<br />
I got some children's advil down her, followed by some water. Then we got dressed and went to the ER for her to be checked out. Before we left, her appetite returned and she asked for breakfast. By the time we got to the ER, she acted completely normal. <br />
<br />
The doctor said it was a febrile seizure. He is hopeful that she will not seize again because these particular seizures usually occur in infants - age 5. It is when the body heats up too quickly and the brain can not compensate and shuts down. <br />
<br />
If this were not bad enough, my husband left work to go to the hospital with us. He had to take a point for leaving. This is only the third point he has had in over ten years!<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">He even returned to work after we got home and settled down. Then they gave him a letter that said that he would have to get permission from his doctor before May 2 to continue to be employed there. I can not disclose much now, but I will say that he suffers from a work related injury! Now they are going to can him?!? REALLY!?!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwWnbykmJ0oSFj-H_xsivy9NxBGOXVkMreimquAh8OlG3yptYkf23SSrYTig76DwAz_6QO6HnnPcsamDvXr52M9qbNNsOo2dYlU6rL36fS1LUDxaXeZ30WWUKd_o6diTLbKu9D-hCRwUAO/s1600/100_3550.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150px" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwWnbykmJ0oSFj-H_xsivy9NxBGOXVkMreimquAh8OlG3yptYkf23SSrYTig76DwAz_6QO6HnnPcsamDvXr52M9qbNNsOo2dYlU6rL36fS1LUDxaXeZ30WWUKd_o6diTLbKu9D-hCRwUAO/s200/100_3550.jpg" width="200px" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Shayla was excited to show off her hospital id bracelet.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

It's funny when we discussed pastor's sermon, my kids and I didn't seem to hear the same things. </div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong>Phys Ed:</strong> It was a beautiful, sunny 80 degree day. The first we've had in ages, so what to do, but play, play, and play! Most any work that did get done was done outside. </div><br />
<strong>Science:</strong> We made paper planting pots (fine motor) and transplanted, watered, and planted additional seeds. We typically put out about a half acre garden, but this year we are expanding AND growing our own oats and herb garden for spices, teas, and tinctures.<br />
<br />
<strong><em>Monday:</em></strong><br />
Didn't get much bookwork done. Instead it was life lessons in compassion, kindness, love, doing things with a happy heart, and many other character traits.<br />
<br />
My mother-in-law has been in the hospital. She has multiple tumors on an artery and one on her lung. This came as a complete surprise because the only symptoms she showed was what we thought was a stomach bug.<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Thankfully, because I homeschool, I have the freedom to attend to her needs. Taking her to doctor appointments, getting prescriptions, doing household chores and errands. </div><br />
<strong>Bible:</strong> Psalm 119:47, 97, 140 and Jeremiah 15:16<br />
<br />
<strong>Devotions:</strong> A Case of the Grumbles. (I think we all need to review this one periodically). Exodus 16:1-12.<br />
<br />
A Little Horse Sense. Ephesians 4:1-6<br />
<br />
<strong>Reading:</strong> Let's Shake On It. This is an old textbook I found. Not sure what grade level it actually is, but the print was very large and not much on each page. She chose to sit down and read the whole thing!<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong>Read aloud:</strong> Bartholomew and the Oobleck. This was fitting because of the rain falling from the sky. But we didn't see any oobleck.</div><br />
<strong>Field trip</strong> to our public library to find books for pleasure reading.<br />
<br />
<strong><em>Tuesday:</em></strong> <br />
<br />
<strong>Bible:</strong> Heaven is a Real Place. John 14:1-4<br />

<li>Called by Name. John 20:11-16</li>
<li>The Cover-up. Matthew 28:11-15</li>
</ul><strong>Field Trip:</strong> Theater production of Sleeping Beauty. This was the strangest rendition of this story that I have ever heard. It had adult humor in it, but it seemed to keep the kids' attention, as well.<br />
<br />
After this, we went to Hobby Lobby to spend a giftcard Shayla got for Christmas. She chose a wooden, magnetic paper doll and a build-a-bear kit on clearance. I made her make the purchase herself. She did not like this one bit, but was extremely proud of herself for doing so (afterwards). <br />
<br />
<strong>Reading:</strong> Shayla devoured a pile of library books!<br />

This time joining the group that her dance teacher is in. It was more to her liking. They made flubber and decoupage bottles. Being that this was the first meeting, Shayla was very hesitant to do anything, but the co-leader actually had read up on selective mutism and took Shayla under her wings, so to speak. She enjoyed 4-H much more!</div><br />
