Schoolwork Accomplished:

*Geography lesson 10-included the boys in the discussion as well.  Then she used play-doh and clay to make a US Map.  We went over our specific location-continent, country, state, city, address.
*Then it delved into general play doh play. 
*Then Leanna did the questions for Geography Lesson 10
*We listened to some polka music and some band music (curtsey of the local channel 4 background!) then a bit of opera singing (which they imitated).
*I read Maximum Triceratops by Dr. Robert T. Bakker, mainly Leanna and Justin were listening (Timothy and Jacob only listened to parts).  They asked questions and I asked them questions and it was a nice little science lesson.  They were fascinated by the bones in particular.
*Leanna made a "What I've Accomplished This Week" list
*Art Journal
*a self-portrait
*We read two chapters in Eight Cousins
*Computer play on Webkinz
*She made a couple early christmas presents-decorating popsicle sticks with markers, glue, glitter, and googly-eyes.

Read most of a chapter in Little House in the Big Woods to the boys.
