Week of Jan 25th

I can't believe a month of 2010 is gone! We started our week with the first day of our Co-Op. We will be meeting for 10 weeks; however, David did not get to go the first day due to a fever and cold. The kids really enjoy these classes, so it was disappointing for him. Hannah has a Bill of Rights class, studying the bills and discussing Supreme Court cases. She has an art class, and a natural spa class, in which all the girls are making their own lip balm, bath salts, lotions, etc. David has Five In A Row class, Traditional Games, Spanish Songs and Stories, Math Games, Show and Tell, and Science for Boys (chemistry and physics).

We learned about mercy and compassion in Bible, memorizing Matt. 5:7 from the Beatitudes. We watched the Three Musketeers movie since they had read about France and the Sun King. They did notebooking pages about Handel.

Hannah finished up her chapters in Grammar and Math. She did a review of the entire Physics section of her science and will begin Chemistry next.

David was so excited because he finished a speed drill with 40 seconds remaining. He had 28 addition facts to do in 2 minutes. I covered with him at home what he would have had in science at the co-op. He learned about matter, mass, and solids, liquids, and gases.
