Family Movie night: The Avengers

We have been waiting for The Avengers movie to come out on DVD and that time has finally come!  

The wait did not disappoint us!  It was so good, as were all of the Marvel movies leading up to this one.  

Super Walmart had 4 different Avenger themed pizzas, they tasted good and were a great price!

Favorite part was having a picnic in the living room.  :)

ADV in MFW Week 1

Wow, what a great first week we had!  I like how nice and slow this curriculum starts out the "New" Year. This is a brief summary of what we did this week.  We started out by looking at the USA map and locating our State we live in.  Then identified all the bodies of water, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Great Lakes.  

Our Bible lessons this year focus on the many names of Jesus.  The lesson started out with learning the meaning of our names.  

We wrote letters to the kids about the meaning of their names and why we chose to name them those names.   

 

   A & M then copied the meanings of their names and drew self portraits. 

We also learned about the Vikings, Eric the Red and Leif Ericsson, and his discovery of North America.

  Science we are learning about density.  The egg on the left is floating in salt water and the one on the right is in regular tap water and sank.
