Workbox Wednesday 1st Grade

Here's a look into what is in Phillip's Workboxes for school.

I bought this set of drawers about 3 or 4 years ago when they were on clearance at Walmart.

1st Drawer is Bible. This contains he AWANA book, bag and vest, along with his Jesus Storybook Bible.

2nd Drawer is his Daily Learning Notebook. We also chart the weather and mark what day it is on our bulletin board.  You can get your copy here of the charts and notebook pages.

3rd drawer is Math. Just a basic addition worksheet for today. 

4th Drawer is Reading. We are currently working on 6 new words this week that we will add to our caterpillar on the bulletin board. He also has a notebook to draw a picture in from the book that I read aloud. The current book is The Tale Jolly Robin

5th Drawer is Writing. There are a few worksheets in here for him to complete. 

6th Drawer History   we do these lessons with Trevor

7th Drawer Science   we do these lessons with Trevor

8th Drawer Computer   He does a few things on the computer for school. XtraMath.com, ABCya.com are just a few websites he uses daily. 

9th Drawer is a Math Game.

The LAST drawer, #10. Copywork.  To help him with his penmenship, he will copy what I write on the page. This week we are using his AWANA verse, John 3:16

I'll post soon what the plan is for Annabelle and her preschool work. 

September 2015 Menu

So the last several months I have been trying to get our grocery budget under control. I try to plan a menu for the month, but I never shop for the month. Well this month I did. I planned the menu and shopped and got about 98% of the groceries I needed and still have quite a bit left in the budget. 

There are a few reasons why our menu is a little different. We eat dinner at my Mom's house every Tuesday before Scouts. I also cook intentionally sometimes to have leftovers.  

Here is the basic plan for each week:   

Sunday: crock pot meal

Monday; Mexican (because we LOVE Mexican food)

Tuesday: Dinner at Mom's

Wednesday: Leftovers

Thursday: Salad

Friday: Grilled

Saturday: Breakfast (because I LOVE Breakfast food)
