Today has gone okay, I guess. We're slowly but surely getting back on track. By next week we should be okay....barring nothing else happens. (Patty ducks her head real fast! )

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

Bible:

This morning we picked up where we left off yesterday with the General epistles. This would be James thru Jude. It's just a general overview of the books of the New Testament. Next week we'll start with the Chronological Sequence of the books of the Bible. (NT)

Literature:

Today's story was Cache of Honor. It was about a sled team trying to get across the Artic. They get lost & have to eat one of the sled dogs . Then when they finally get there, they find that an Eskimo that was starving found it before they did but refused to touch it until they all got there.

Math:

Today was cancellations. and boy did we hit a brick wall! Shaun informs me that he doesn't need to do the cancelling like it is in the book because he can get the same answer on his own with a calculator! There are days when I wish that technology was just a little bit slower....know what I mean?

Science:

Today was Atomic Nuclei. Please somebody just shoot me....it might has well have been in Greek for all I understood. The nuclear composition....protons, nutrons, atomic mass....Yes, and then the squirrel climbed a tree with a nut in his mouth. Oh! I'm sorry....what was that again? For some strange unknown reason that is beyond me....Shaun seems to actually understand & LIKE this stuff!

Social Studies:

We studied the early issues....How the nation was able to learn to stand on it's own. A little about the constitution, discrimination, & slavery.

Computer Basics:

Today's lesson was about computers & people.A few different items....privacy, errors, job changes, & physical problems like carpel tunnel syndrome. There was alot of review today because he'll have a free day tomorrow & will take his 2nd. quiz on Friday.

PE:

Today was a beautiful Fall day....He rode his bike all around the neighborhood.
