Schoolwork Accomplished:

Leanna:
*American Girls Club
*Silent Reading-The Last Olympian
*Journal entry on what she did today
*arts & crafts-mermaid picture with pom poms, a finger drum, decorated a box, and worked on her weaving loom. 
*a few pages from the get ready for 5th grade workbook
*Colored a few pictures from my old Color Me Greek book.
*Mission US games again (she now loves these!)and helped Timothy with PopTropica
*We did a 30 second science experiment: a cd, flashlight, and box to create a rainbow.
A simple CD will create the prismatic colours of the rainbow if you look at the surface under bright light. The thousands of tiny grooves on the surface of the CD cause the light to split into its component colours in a process called diffraction. Although the light isn't being bent as with a true prism, the grooves are teasing out and reflecting various colours of the spectrum.
*We read chapter 22 in Story of the World.
*We read a chapter in The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder



*Timothy-we read On the Farm by Mercer Mayer together, computer play on PopTropica
*Justin-We did a math o lantern sheet on ways to get to 10, talked about the weather a tiny bit, and he did two pages in his math book.  He wrote some words he knows in his notebook.
