These past two weeks......

....Quinn read Blackthorn Winter and started  Ranger's Apprentice book 1



....Evelyn read Young George Washington and Rachel Yoder book 8

....Leah enjoyed listening to The Very Hungry Caterpillar over and over again.. She also liked Mouse Paint and Mouse Count

....Together they made valentines for the kids in their CBS classes.

Evelyn made this valentine for her brother.

...Together we made painted paper for some upcoming art projects

...Quinn finished Singapore 5b. The last few lessons were on volume and then there was a review. There were definitely some topics in the review that he could use a little more practice with. Next week I plan to do a bit more review before starting 6a.

...Together we had fun doing some projects from these two new books that I recently ordered. We made a 3d map of Jamestown and of Columbus' voyage. These are history topics that we covered much earlier in the year but wanted to do them anyways.

Together we went to see Derek Small from Wildlife Encounters put on another animal show at the library. I am amazed at how Derek's business has taken off. I remember when we were members of the New Hampshire Herpatological Society together ten years ago. I also used to babysit his two girls. Now he has a very successful business educating people about exotic animals. He has even been on many tv shows.

... Evelyn and I had a wonderful opportunity to go see the New York Theatre Ballet with friends one night. They performed The Alice in Winderland Follies. It was incredible!
