Here we are at the end of the first quarter. I really can’t believe how fast time has flown.
We did a lot of wrap up this week. I’m ashamed of how little I did with the Vikings segment. I had such grand plans! Thursday evening I stayed up late to get together one last craft… Viking longships. Got them to the point that there was only adornment and minor assembly to do. While the kids worked on it, I read from Beowulf. I didn’t have Sam do any dictation from it. We discussed what had happened previously before I read and then what happened this time afterwards.
Math went really, really well this week. Sam flew through several sections on Mathscore.com
Science… we headed out to the driveway and made a line model represented the distance between planets using a scaled down “AU.” The next day we used those tic marks to draw circular orbits and place rocks in the asteroid belt.
Pennywhistle… he’s getting really good with “Hunting the Hare” Can’t wait for the performance/test 
Thursday was the book discussion at the library for “Lightening Thief.” Sam had a great time. Jessie and I hung out at the Library and had fun too.
Friday we went Iceskating with friends and had a great time.
