Schoolwork Accomplished:
Leanna:
*Silent Reading: Heidi and finished Big Nate:On a Roll by Lincoln Peirce
*The Middle Ages-finished the questions for unit 13 and completed unit 14 and the questions. (this took forever since she had to write a mini report for it.) We discussed Egil Skallagrimsson and I searched unsuccessfully for a good website on him. We looked at an article on his probably having Padget's disease and a picture of what that kind of skull might look like.
*The Long Winter Lapbook- we did the first four chapters.
*I read a chapter in the Long Winter to her.
*She drew a picture of a medieval shield after looking through a book on designing your own coat of arms.
*She also made a little book for Lorelei.
