We did it....we made it through our first week of school!! :)

We only do a 4-day week for the subjects we do together. Starting next week they will have individual lessons to do on Friday. Since I usually have to work on Fridays I try to keep it a light day of things they can complete without my help.

This week we:
- learned about China. Tonight's dinner was Chicken Lo Mein (as close to a Chinese meal as I managed to come..lol) and yesterday we made red chinese paper lanterns.

- learned about ancient art. Explored some cave paintings in a couple books and online.

- explored a little bit about the book of Matthew.

- talked briefly about the Reconstruction era.


I have a bit of readjusting to do with some of their individual work. Em needs to jump up a couple of units in Math. The one we started with is WAY too easy!!

Next week should be a normal week for us, uninterrupted by a birth. ;) It will be good to see how things flow with my schedule.
