Schoolwork Accomplished:

Leanna:
*Geography Lesson 7  & almost all of Lesson 8.  (Robinson and Mercator Projection maps)
*We did a Bible/Character Lesson on Attentiveness from A Child's Book of Character Building by Ron & Rebekah Coriell
*Leanna made a list of reasons she likes homeschooling (creative writing and handwriting practice)
*She did a bit of cursive writing practice
*She finished Ramona and her Mother by Beverly Cleary.
*I had Leanna copy words/definitions from her Preamble to the Constitution book.
*We read& discussed more about the American Revolution.
*She did more weaving on her loom.  She finished a project. 
*We discussed the cost of buying things and she did some money math in her head.  She also played with a simple foam measurement puzzle. 

*We did a Bible/Character Lesson on Attentiveness from A Child's Book of Character Building by Ron & Rebekah Coriell with the boys too.
*I read Little Rabbit's Loose Tooth by Lucy Bate (Jacob actually paid attention for this one).
*Timothy worked in his Book of Rhyming Words and I quizzed Justin on some of the words from the book.  Neither one was getting the concept yet.  :(
*I also worked on Upper/Lower Case letters with the boys, though more with Justin (Timothy remembered the concept better).  We wrote letters and Justin also did circle the upper case letters and circle the lower case letters
*I also did "which does not belong" or grouping, with Justin.  With Timothy we tried "which comes before/after." 
*We had just started a lesson on bats with me reading the kids Stellaluna, when Tom came home.
