By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge
the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. ~Proverbs 24:3-4
• Oct. 28, 2007 - Week in Review
We started the Revolutionary War in American History and visited Switzerland and the Netherlands in Children Around the World. Mark worked on common factors and Mei on subtraction and fractions in math. In LA, Mark continued on verbs and Mei worked on reading words with the letter e.
We had our Swiss dinner on Saturday. We had cheese fondue with steak, turkey, broccoli, carrots, and bread. We also had chocolate fondue with bananas and cookies for dipping. I didn't take any pictures this week.
This coming week are visiting on a whirlwind tour: Finland, Norway, Iceland, Sweden, and Belgium. We will continue with the Revolutionary War.
I am thinking about dropping our Native American focus after Thanksgiving. We are studying our home state Native Americans the week before Thanksgiving. We have not really done much with the NA focus. Perhaps we will pick it up again in this summer.
We don't usually do much with nature study. However, I happened to look outside one morning and noticed a woodpecker eating my thistle seed. We got out the binoculars and bird book to identify him. We think he was a yellow-bellied sapsucker, visiting us for the winter. We must have spent 20 minutes on it. It was fun and we ought to do more of that.
All-in-all a pretty typical week here. It finally rained and we are grateful to God for that. We are still in drought conditions and pray it rains again soon. It has finally cooled off and we may even get our first frost this week. I have been enjoying my morning glories, so I hope it doesn't.
We had our fried potatoe balls tonight for our study of India. We really didn't think that we would like them, but they were great!!!! I am so enjoying all of these new foods!!!
