Weekly Wrap-Up - Week #32

Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers

This week started with a fun girl's half a day out!  Sarah and I had hair appointments and met up with a friend for lunch.  She even learned a little about cosmetology school =)



and I went for highlights this time!



We continued with our same Bible memory verse this week.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-28........

"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. So encourage each other with these words."  

I took a few pictures of Sarah in action this week. Here she is using the All About Spelling letter tiles.  We all love those!


Here she is making words using the Phonics Activities game that we were given last week.  Great fun and super for reinforcement!


 We also did a ladybug study this week.



And went outside for a backyard nature study!


Ladybug transfer!

 Along the bottom of our garage their are hundreds of ladybugs all the way around.  It was kind of cool, kind of creepy too,lol.
A closer look...all those spots are lady bugs!

And even closer...you can see the larva and pupa stages!  So cool!!
 And I'm free!! 

And finally a few garden shots!  Corn and tomato plant complete with a lady bug =)


That's a wrap on our week.  For more weekly wrap-ups check out Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers.

  1. I love ladybugs! (Even though the larva stage is really creepy.) How cool that you found the different stages for part of your study!

  3. At one time, we maintained a ladybug habitat for a little while. It was really cool to see them change as they grow. Sounds like you had a good week!
