Week of Sept 21st

We started our school week with a bang! We had the first day of our new co-op that I started. We have 10 families and 26 kids. David had a Geography class, Game/Snack time, and an Art class. Hannah had an Art class, Geography Class, and GA History class. We stayed and ate lunch with our new friends. We had science lab right after with our Lab Partners.

We took my sister (and Roxie!) home. The kids were sad to see them go. The rest of the week was filled with regular school work. We studied Friendship in "The Book of Virtues". We learned the five "I Wills of Wisdom". We began "The Wind in the Willows" as a read-aloud. I'm not sure the kids are liking it very well. We also learned about Gutenburg and the influence he had on our society. We had our normal week of math, grammar, and such. The kids really enjoyed receiving their God's World News magazines. Hannah is working on a news show to present the information to her Daddy and me.

Hannah also started a writing class that will be 4 weeks. It is being offered free by a retired English teacher. It is to specifically teach the essay style needed for SAT's.
