Schoolwork Accomplished:

*We read 3 chapters of On the Banks of Plum Creek and discussed common sayings.
*Leanna researched Egypt on this website: http://egypt.mrdonn.org/index.html
and took notes and drew pictures.  This will eventually become an Egypt lapbook of her own making.
*Explored the website: How to Love Your Dog, particularly the page on what dogs cost.  I printed out a worksheet for her to figure out how much a dog will cost for a month, year, & lifetime.  She happily read the page on how to teach your dog tricks. 
I am including this as schoolwork because we just picked up a stray on Sunday afternoon and she needed to learn some about dog care and because it falls in with lifeskills.  Plus the worksheet involves real life math.  :  )    Always better when it's the real life kind!
