Week of Jan 18th

I can't believe I have not updated this in 2 weeks. Well, the week of the 18th was a short one, with the holiday. We did more review in Bible, including a blindfolded obstacle course with me to lead them through. We talked about kids being "blind" to some of the world, but parents can help guide them through. We also talked about honesty. They did a crayon resist. They colored a page very colorfully, then covered them with black, then scratched off some. We discussed that lies cover up, but usually always are revealed in the end.

The both studied about France and the Sun King. We listened to Handel's "Messiah" this week. We were actually listening on the computer. David stood up on the bed and began waving his arm. He said, "I'm the preductor, I'm the preductor." It was so cute, but the teacher in me had to correct him.

Hannah finished up subject-verb agreement and moved on to pronoun-antecedent agreement. She continued geometry in math, and did more with light in science, including an experiment with light, water, and color. She also did quite a few Mind Benders in her critical thinking books.

David moved ahead in his LA, math, and reading. He is really challenged by the speed drills, and is improving in the subtraction. He did a lot of Mind Benders as well. He would do them all day!

We ended our week with housework because my sisters were coming into town for the weekend, which was a lot of fun.
