Logic

Lex finished his logic text book about the informal fallacies last week, so I ordered him the next text in the series. He is going to start an introduction to formal logic now. 

Redstone Academy - Geography Update

 Lex has finished another continent worth of geography lessons. 

So, I purchased the final two books:

It won't be long before Lex has completed the lessons for all 7 continents. 

This week at Redstone Academy

Lex finished his Astronomy book for science, 

and he finished this geography book about Australia and Oceania.

He will begin studying Biology and Antarctica next.

We drew some cute little Baby Yoda Santas.

Only one more week of school before Christmas!

He will begin Algebra 1 after reading The Number Devil. 

Amicalola Falls

Today we met with our friends and went on a hike up a mountain.

We hiked about one and a half miles up the mountain.

Then we climbed down hundreds of stairs to get back to the bottom.

Happy Hiking!

First Day of 7th Grade

Since Connor has gone to high school, our little homeschool only has one student this year. 

Lex is a 7th Grader!

Here are some of the books we are using right now:

Happy Homeschooling!

Getting Ready for 7th Grade

Lex is going to be a 7th grader this year!!

Today I spent some time printing the materials I purchased electronically for him to use.  We are still waiting on one of his workbooks (logic) to be delivered, but hopefully it will arrive soon.

This is for his humanities course.

We are going to be reading some folktales and myths in Spanish.

7th Grade Science in Spanish


Connor is taking Japanese in high school, so Lex asked if we could learn Japanese, too.

The goal is obviously a trip to Tokyo. 

Especially to Universal Studios where they have built the new Super Nintendo World.

Stay tuned. School starts after Labor Day!

Next Book

 This is the next book we read.  It's about Mother Teresa.

Let's go to Mars!

Today's edition of Summer camp at home is brought to you by Google, 4-H, and the Old Time Candy Company.

Because when you go on a long trip, you need to buy lots of candy.  I thought a trip to space would be best with Nerds, Pop Rocks, and Air Heads.

So, I ordered all of these things:

And today we enjoyed them all.  First we played a game to see where we all landed on Mars.  I crashed more than anyone else.  Then, we built a Mars rover:

Finally, we played a game to grow food on Mars.  Our colonies were a success!

In which we learn about Rangoli (A Photo Essay)

The End is Near

I can always tell that the end of summer is approaching when we finish our Sassafras Science book.  We finished studying Geology today.

(We also finished reading Sweet & Sour Tales from China.)

Here is a sample of Connor's work (because homeschoolers are supposed to keep these kinds of records):
