His Workboxes
Math first rule…
and then the rest may or may not be completed in the order shown.
He’s working on dividing larger numbers now and learning how to check his work when he’s done.
Both kids follow up their Math lesson with BigIQkids.com Math drills. I’m using this rather than the Saxon daily drills.
Both kids have Piano lessons with Super Grams. She raves about Toby’s natural timing. I laugh. Because I love him and I’ve seen him dance!
5th Grade ACE
(and aren’t you proud that I braved letting you see his penmanship!)
We’re using ACE for English as well this year.
We haven’t implemented Penmanship yet because ACE offers a lot of Penmanship practice built right into each lesson.
Of course…I keep threatening him that if I can’t read his writing…we’ll be adding Penmanship to our school day too!
5th Grade Social Studies with ACE.
Plus a daily MapSkills sheet. I *heart* MapSkills! So does he.
He finished up Swamp Robber yesterday and owes me a book report today.
I also let him check out a couple Magic Tree Houses while we’re waiting for the next Sugar Creek Gang book to arrive at the library.
Journal is really Creative Writing.
The paper below is from Monday’s assignment. But it was SO beautiful that I had to give myself a mommy brag moment.
We also have Science today.
The kiddos do this together on Weds and Friday afternoons.
We’re on the Sun Chapter.
And since I didn’t purchase the notebooking journals, I decided we’ll be making our own lapbooks along the way.
Can you tell those are handprint suns on the front cover?
Click me to peek in more of our boxes!

…I hope you will too (cause I like being nosey)!
His penmanship is great! You should see my 4th grader! LOL Funny how I have very neat, block writing (and left-handed), but my kids have "doctor writing"! LOL
ReplyDeleteI didn't purchase the journals to go with Astronomy either. We're using one subject notebooks and adding drawings, summaries, mini-books (from lapbooks free on-line), etc.
It drives me batty that he has the lines to follow and STILL has sloppy writing!
ReplyDeleteBut he is a lefty. And a boy. Soooooo...
I tell him all the time that he clearly needs to grow up to be doctor! lol
Shame we don't live closer. We could do Science together. :)
