Week in review VII

This was a short week as we are taking a fall break. We did school Monday-Thursday and will resume on Tuesday.

Language Arts seemed a bit lighter this week. It worked out because we were able to complete the lesson in only 4 days. Chiggie memorized Psalm 23 for her oral presentation. Tea finished another short story unit and Midge made her own book and learned several new words.
In Bible we finished Who is God part II. I think the girls had some very important questions answered in this unit.

Math is becoming more advanced for all of the girls. We are done with review and introducing new concepts very regularly now. They are all doing great!

In history we began our study of the Indians. We barely scratched the surface with a pretty basic overview, but will go into much more detail next week after our break. The activities that go along with this topic should be a lot of fun.

In science we are still studying Venus. We did a demonstration with flour and butter to show how the hot lava effects the surface of the planet.

I forgot to mention that a couple of weeks ago we added Handwriting Without Tears for all three girls. They have some handwriting in their other subjects but I just didn't feel like it was enough. I am so glad I thought it through and decided to do more. They are enjoying it and I'm noticing better handwriting already!
