Week 2

This week we went on a field trip. I had noticed a while back that our library has passes to Mount Kearsarge Indian Museum. It is a pretty small library and it doesn't have many passes but this seemed to be just the one for us right now! We decided to go Wednesday and prayed for low crowds. Well, not only did we have no crowds but we were actually the ONLY people there during our entire visit. It was so relaxing taking our time to look at everything and talk about things we saw. No lines or packs of noisy kids to push through. Of course this is temporary since it is so early in the year but I will take it for now. Our lives will become super busy in another two weeks when all of our regular activities start up again. So for now I'll take the quiet.  Anyone considering this trip should check it out. It isn't huge but it's big enough. Go in nice weather so you can explore the medicine woods.

We also started our Native American dioramas. Evelyn's is almost done. By the end of week three I plan for both to be completed and can post pictures!
Other than history, this week we started L'Art De Lire and are working on learning the basic french vocabulary from that first lesson. We have begun our memory file box that we do every year though we are using a small recipe box this year instead of the giant one. Quinn and I are finishing up a Kay Arthur Bible study on Revelation while we wait for CBS to start. Also, math and dictation have been getting done pretty regularly. Next week has a holiday and a birthday in it however my goal is to add in some basic IEW keyword outlining and rewriting with Who/Which clauses using some usborne science books as sources. That way i will be adding some science and writing at once! If I can accomplish that then we will be getting up to speed pretty well. :)I still haven't decided what to do about science this year so for now we are winging it.
