6th Week

Another week of school is behind us. We had a great week. Monday was Labor Day and Daddy was off, so we only did a little school and spent some time with him. That night I went to a Mom's meeting with my homeschool group. It was about scheduling and record keeping. A night out with other Mom's is very refreshing.

We hit the books the rest of the week. We finished up our study of wisdom in Proverbs. The kids are both studying the Reformation and Martin Luther this week, so we got the movie "Luther" to watch. Hannah is reading a biography, too. We acted out vocabulary words, and did "trick" sentences (the kids have to fill in the right vocabulary word). Hannah is moving along in Physics and will have lab every week with some friends. She went to her new novel club where they discussed "The Outsiders" and watched the movie. David has been studying nutrition, so we went on a grocery store treasure hunt I found at www. mypyramid.gov. He's also enjoyed playing their online game, too.

Grammar, math, and critical thinking workbooks are used almost everyday around here. We also watched a Nest DVD about Leonardo Da Vinci and an HBO composer series DVD called "Bach's Fight for Freedom". Hannah finished up reading the book "Mummies in the Morning" with David. We finished up the day with talking about 9/11 and watching some tributes on the internet.
