This week was a good week at Hazel"nut" academy. We are in the middle of a kitchen revamp(pictures coming soon) and this along with the homeschooling has our house a little topsy turvy.
Language Arts: We completed our read aloud A Cricket in Times Square. Next week we meet here at our house for our first Detectives Book Club meeting. (I'll post some pics)Princess Poodle practiced on her two vowels and silent e rule and read in her readers. She is also practicing a Presentation book that she reads all week and then presents to the family on the weekend. I got this idea from Jennifer at Smooth Stones Academy.
Math: We are starting to memorize math facts and Princess Poodle seems to be handling this new challenge.
History: We talked about different types of leaders and how Hammurabi conquered lands in a much more peaceful way than the Assyrians. Next week we are off to Ancient India and will try our hand at making a mud brick. I'll be sure to post pics of that event. How much fun will that be....an excuse to play in the mud!
Art/Music: At crosspoint academy Princess Poodle is learning about the works of Claude Monet. She seems to love her one day at school.
Triple H has had a couple of good days but continues to be a challenge. He is learning his letters so fast considering I'm not really teaching them. Mostly he loves to ride his bike, play with his racecars and his trains, and he loves all three of these even more if I or Papa Bear can play too. We love our little man!
And now for the great news. Papa Bear surprised us all with a trip to Disney World coming in October to celebrate our 10th anninversary. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. Really, I have butterflies in my stomach and find myself smiling at the thought of it. Oh and the kids are excited too. Any one with any good Disney advice feel free to pass it on. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.

A good week!
We also took our kids to Disney World for our 10th anniversary, but that was back in 2007. LOL Our favorite ride was Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin.
We were there in October, too. A great time of year to go. Cool and not too crowded.
I would get the Unofficial Guide to Disney World. Great book!

My kids think the "Ancients" had so much more fun -- they made all kinds of things out of mud!! :)
We've talked about remodeling our kitchen...please do share some pictures!
