Good Morning to whoever reads this...(I'm beginning to wonder if anybody does?!)

Last week was such a farce of a schoolweek that we're doing a "do-over" this week! Everything that could possibly go wrong....DID! I've changed our schedule around hoping to help things go better....I'll post after school today with how the day went....please if anyone is reading this, pray for us today. Blessings, Patty

***********************************************************

Bible:

We began studying the New Testament books today. We briefly skimmed the Gospels & Acts ~aka~ "The Historical Books".

Literature:

Today's story - Shago....A story that was a bit hard to follow (in my opinion) because of the detailed discription of everything. It was about boys playing baseball & the "top dog" if you will, slowly went blind & couldn't pitch or catch. It ended with him coming up to the other boys with some baseballs that he had wound. After he gave them to the boys, he asked, "But aren't you going to bat one?" They didn't know what to say until finally one boy blurted out...."We can't Shago....it's night." Obviously Shago had gone completely blind.

Math:

Today, he did factors. (Prime & ordinary) Since we're still obviously in review, he only did a few problems.

Science:

We studied radioactivity today....the detection of it & how to get measurements.

Social studies:

We discussed the Freedom Backgrounds. Today we read about the Freedom Principles.

Computer Basics:

Today's lesson was on the Basic Beginnings. The Abacus, the slide rule, Pascal's Mechanical Calculator, the Jacquard Loom, The Analytical Engine, & Hollerith's Machine. It was interesting to see how the computer started out....

PE:

Shaun rode his skateboard around today.
