Weekly Review

We had a good week. Accomplished a lot. Joined Awanas. Practiced & went to lessons for Drums, Guitar & Dance. We are contemplating hosting an International Foreign Exchange Student next year. The girls & I think it would be GREAT - Ferris isn't convinced yet but, he hasn't said NO either!

History: Rosie & Delly studied about Sargon taking over the King of Kish in ancient Mesopotamia, did their extra readings, map work, essay questions, & had a test. Both did great.

Science: R&D have decided on & began research for their science projects. Rosie is going to research tree frogs. Delly is completely fascinated with sugar (big surprise) so she is going to delve into the world of sweeteners!

Math: Rosie is LOVING geometry! Delly is attacking the concept of 100,000.

Spelling: Both are working their way through Spelling Power & LOVE IT! They had a lot of fun playing a crossword type game with their word lists this week.

Grammar: Both are using grade appropriate Rod & Staff English texts. They actually enjoy this 'hard-core' grammar program.

Writing: Delly composed & illustrated a delightful story about a boy & his dog at the zoo. Rosie is working on her 'novel'.

Pumpkin is just SO good. She mothered her babies, built block towers, assembled puzzles, 'read' books, cut, pasted & colored. We have been working on recognizing letters, saying the alphabet, and learning letter sounds.
