Mar. 24, 2007 - the rest of the week.....

Wednesday- Well, we had  3 extras today...Trey, Verity and my niece Danielle. We did our Table work, read from Tree in the Trail and also read about Abraham in CHOW and documented it in our Book of Centuries.  

Thursday- Table work completed. Libby used her word cards and divided them up into different categories such as: animals, food, things that are outdoors, and colors. Then she tried to make a sentence, though it was hard with the words we had avaliable. I think we will start back with her hooked on phonics. We read a chapter in our book Beautiful Land, about the Land run of OKlahoma. After lunch we loaded up in the van to visit the Poteets. The kids had a great time! They got to see all kinds of animals. The took a ride on Molly the donkey, pet some goats, pigs and a Llama. They spent the rest of the afternoon jumping on the trampoline and exploring the land. It was a great visit. I dropped them off at Grandma's house on the way home and they stayed the night and the next day. Eric and I had a date night...Outback and mall shopping.

Friday- I worked the kids played at grandma's. She gave them $5 and took them shopping at Target. Libby purchased a polly pocket doll and plans on giving the change she has left in the offering at church. She LOVES to Give! Parker came home with a set of magnets and a jar of marbles. Very good choices! Perry called from Washington DC and talked to everyone. He's having a great time.

Saturday- we are checking out a new curriculum called Ace Ministries. Parker did some assements today and measured up well. He's at 3rd grade math, 5th grade science/geography, and 3rd grade spelling. We still have the English assesment to take. I think I will have Perry start when he gets back from his trip.  We went rollerskating from 12:30-4:30. Eric got his own speedskates as an early birthday gift.
