Weekly Update

I worked this past weekend so haven't gotten around to an update yet. Here is the update for last week. There will be no update for school this week as we are off and the girls are in Des Moines.

History: We finished up a King Tut activity book that I found online and read about Moses and the Exodus from Egypt. We'll take a break from Story of the World until January as we will be studying Christmas and Christmas traditions for the month of December.
Science: We started the chapter on the moon. We got our telescope last week so this will be of great use during this chapter.
English: Ellie got 3 lessons done. Kara got several lessons done in OPGTR and read a couple of books.
Spelling: Ellie took her pretest but we haven't gotten around to her post test yet. We'll have to do that this week.
Reading: Ellie is currently reading The Adventures of Dr. Doolittle.
Math: Ellie did 3 lessons and 1 test. She needs to work more on her multiplication and division facts. Kara did several lessons also.
Art and Music: Didn't get it done on Friday as planned. The girls were doing their chores and packing so they could go to grandma and grandpa's on Saturday morning.
Latin: Ellie finished lesson 9 in LC1.
Bible: Ellie did several of her lessons in her Genesis book. We discussed commandment number 9--thou shalt not bear false witness.
