Schoolin' With My Homies: August 21st-25th

 

My adventures in homeschooling my kiddos.

Almost done with August already! It really flew by. I should've started this feature when I started his 5th grade year in July, but I didn't think about it. Oh well. Finn has been doing really well in school and is finishing most of his school before noon.

Math:

We're finishing working through our 4th grade math book that we never finished. This week he's working on adding larger numbers, multiplication practice, and more than/less than. 

This is the school book he's currently working through:

Science:

We'll be working through anatomy the next few weeks, we're trying to take one-three days on each part of the body (Heart, bones, sense, etc). This week he's reading about the 5 senses (Nose, eyes, tongue, etc), cardiovascular system, blood, heart, veins, and bones. 

These are the books he's reading part of each day:
