My day normally begins between 5:30 to 6:00 a.m., but this morning my husband woke me up at 6:55 and we both were shocked at what time it was!  We had forgotten to set the alarm clock last night, but thankfully we were up in time.  I've been taking care of a baby girl and her mom and dad bring her here around 7 in the morning.  Whew!

Our day went good.  We're still studying about Ancient Egypt and just have about 5 lessons left to go, then we'll move on to Ancient Greece!  That should be interesting. 

Today's lessons:

Bible/Literature - Exodus, chapters 1-4 - We read the story of Moses.  Although my kids knew the story but it was good to discuss it again.

Grammar - Sentences - identifying declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory sentences

Writing - dramatizing the story of Moses by writing it as a play (they have 3 days to work on this)

Social Studies - Ancient Egyptian history and culture - cooking project (We will be making Cleopatra's Kisses (sweet cookies, I think).  It calls for honey and I'm out of it, so as soon I get some we'll be making some.

Science - desert words - ghost rain, ground water, hygrometer, nomads, plant biomass, predator, producers, rain shadow desert, salinization, species diversity, succulents, torpor

Math lessons were done as well.
