Week 1 of 7th Grade Homeschool

Our first week went well. Our days are Mon. - Thu. with an occasional Friday. That works well for us. We always start with prayer, Bible study and memory verse review. Then onto other subjects.
Here's some of what we covered this week.

Be sure to try out
"Homeschool 4 Free"
for free download Friday.


In Bible: we studied the seven days of creation. Our memory verse for this week is Psa. 4:8. I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. We're doing one scripture a week. Read more about that here.

In 7th grade Abeka Math: we reviewed place value, addition, and subtraction.

In Spelling: we reviewed vowel combinations (diphthongs) consonant combinations (digraphs)

In PE: We are into the locomotor movements. (It's still so hot in our area we are actually having PE indoors.) We do go out for some fresh air and sunshine the second part of the day though.

In Nature Studies: Lead by her interests, We're studying the mint growing in our yard. She's done some collecting, sketching, journaling, and made some mint tea.

In History We're studying Arkansas history and interesting facts.

In Art We're studying color. The color wheel, colors that are cool, colors that are warm, and block lettering.

In Music: We had piano and drum lessons

In Science: We're studying the sea. We're also trying an egg experiment found here.
