Week of November 9th

I'm a little behind on updates, but here goes. We began our week with co-op, then moved on in to our academics. In Bible we studied honesty. We memorized the five "I Wills of Truthfulness". In history we did more timeline work on explorers. Since we studied the Aztecs and Mayans last week, we studied the Spanish conquistadors such as Hernando Cortes. We listened to selections from Mozart and did notebook pages.

Hannah began "Tuck Everlasting" for her novel club. Glencoe has free literature guides on their site. She wrote her persuasive essay on the state of American education. She covered adverbs in grammar and statistics in math.

David studied more about verbs in his grammar. He also continued his chapter on measurement. He has enjoyed it very much. His spelling words list was long e sounds with ee words. He studied more about weather using books from our own resources.

We ended the week with "Candy School" on Friday. I got the idea from this site.
