E started the week with a fever :(. I guess it was bound to happen. She was sick through Wednesday and then Thursday night Q got it. Happily, Evelyn was able to go to her dance recital Friday night. I was worried that she would miss it. Sadly, her brother and father missed it. But, Grammy, Gramps, Auntie and Meme were there.
Before Quinn became sick he did quite a bit of math. He is now doing addition and subtraction of fractions, changing to common denominators, and simplifying. I must admit I was worried when I saw this coming but he has caught on to it VERY WELL.
We did the long bone model in our Human Body Book. Then we did a simple experiment to see why bones are hollow. Quinn accurately predicted that that made them stronger. He said "See! God knew what he was doing!"
We started week 2 of our Advent Bible Study and added it to our Christmas notebooks.
Wednesday we got about a foot of snow dumped on us. I am determined not to complain about the snow this early on. Really, it was a perfect week for a snow storm since we stayed home from all of our usual activities. Quinn went out and enjoyed it. And the puppy went crazy. It was her first real snow. She was loving it (And eating it).
We didn't have any new spelling words this week. I just had Quinn review the old words with two dictation sentences a day.
We read about William the Conqueror and The Battle of Hastings in CHOW and Quinn read also in Our Island Story. The kids each did a narration and picture. (This was Monday morning before I knew that Evelyn had a fever. No...really I am not that mean!). I realized we haven't been putting our figures onto the timeline for a few weeks now. perhaps next week we will get caught up with that.
We did the first two DVD lessons in I Can Do All Things. Evelyn wanted to take part even though she was sick. She loves art. The first lesson had us drawing shoes with laces.
Quinn did a couple geography lessons. He is learning about latitude and longitude now.
That's about it for our week. We stayed home from CBS and playgroup. Co-op is over until January and we missed the lovely Christmas Craft Fair that our home school group puts on every year. Evelyn also missed a birthday party and we didn't make it to the Museum of Science as planned. However we enjoyed some quiet time at home which is pretty rare, believe it or not, for us homeschoolers.

We just did William the Conqueror and the Battle of Hastings as well! We use SOTW though. I have wondered if I should supplement with CHOW. I would love to preview it from the library or something, but they don't have it. Hope you will be healthy from here on out.
What an adorable picture at the top - it's so great that our pets comfort us when we are feeling badly! We have started off this week with cold/sinus symptoms here and are hoping to get it all over with before Christmas break! I hope you and yours are feeling better!
