Week in review

Alisha, Seth and Andrew are doing week 5 of Classical Writing and this week they rewrote the "Gingerbread Boy". Here is a picture of them working on their papers:

This is Andrew's( 4th grade)  paper ( he typed it himself!). I need to edit it some, I noticed some typoes and grammar mistakes, but I think he did a good job!

The  "littles" have continued with looking at things under the microscope. Here they are looking at different papers and a green scrubby:

Here is a picture of our school room and the kids working independently:

Tuesday was the day Halo 3 was released. My 17 yo and dad waited in line and were able to get one of the first copies at our Wal-Mart. Here is my 17 doing "school" aka playing Halo LOL.

My 16 yo has been taking a writing class with Eileen at www.home2teach.com . Here he is on Tuesday finishing his last paper:

We had a visiter show up on Wednesday and the youngest 2 were thrilled:

Tell the kids they did a great job on their writing assignments this week. Very impressive! I also love to look at things under the microscope. Way more fun than cleaning closets...

Looks good! I wish we had a microscope. My son would absolutely love it.

And, oh, that stack of books in front of your son! Are those all his? If so, I think I'll show my kids that when they complain about the amount of work the have to do. LOL

LOL, yes, those are his books. It does look like alot, but so far, he hasn't complained. A few of them are binders so that makes it look scarier :-)

Hey, you must have got your camera!!
I'm glad you're able to "retire" from working at the animal hospital. I love how empty your school area looks -- not sure if you like it, but I do!! :)
I thought your ds Gingerbread Boy writing was excellent.
