Week 17.... Back in Egypt with King Tut

 Back to Egypt just one more time to talk about  King Tut. While we have enjoyed Egypt its time to get a move on. We are wrapping up the Kane Chronicles and once again the kids give Rick Riordan a high five for making the ancients come alive. Ying and Yang were making fudge this weekend with Daddy when I got an excited cry to come look at the obelisk they had made from the butter and sugar. Yep it was one of those " you know you a homeschooler if.." kinda moments.

Math needed some switching up this week. Here is our brainbuster of the week. *hint there is not formula, etc.. you have to plug and play..lol* We Also broke out Math Dice Jr. for some math fact review. It started out great but in the end Yang got really upset that Hulk ( the human calculator) was beating her.

 In Bible this week we discussed Joshua and the battle at Jericho. I was impressed with the girls summaries. Their writing is coming along nicely.  Ying had made a Senet game a few weeks ago in her Ancient History class at coop, so we broke it out and She and Hulk played a few round and then Daddy got in on the action.

 In Science this week we are studying plants and starting to grow a bean. This is our fava bean after we removed its seed coat..lol

OK.. I got offer up a praise for the Lord and his protection. I was trying to cook lunch at my parents house this week and accidentally turned on the wrong burner. That burner happened to have a 9x13 glass cake pan on hit. No less then a minuet after i sent the kids out of the room, and then went to see what they were fighting over the pan exploded sending glass shards everywhere. We normally do school at the table 2 ft away. Height of my kids this would have been so serious facial laceration and guy shots with glass for me, but nope he put us all in places of safety.  Saving us all from my airheadedness. HE IS SOO GOOD!!!!
