Schoolwork Accomplished:

Leanna:
*We read Growing Up with a Bucket Full of Happiness: Three Rules for a Happier Life by Carol McCloud(three quarter of the book)
*Journal entry-3 pages long and not finished yet!
*We read come commonly used phrases and word roots from What Your 6th Grader Needs to Know
*She worked on decorating a container she's making
*We had a discussion about bucket filling and relatives and people and situations she knew when she was in school.  Also how it applied to our family.
*Outdoor play-running, raking leaves
*She read & finished Meet Marie-Grace by Sarah Masters Buckey (American Girl)

Justin, Timothy, and Jacob:
 *We read Growing Up with a Bucket Full of Happiness: Three Rules for a Happier Life by Carol McCloud(three quarter of the book) we discussed the concepts.  Justin was paying more attention and getting more out of it than the other boys.
We really need to work on character development, it took quite a while to get through the reading and discussion and they all needed a break afterwards.  So the boys did play outside also, but this book was our main school for the day. 
 I read  a bit more with just Leanna later on. 
Justin did his webkinz.
