We started our last week of school for November with a sick day. :( The stomach bug hit my side of the family at our Thanksgiving and I was a victim on Monday. Thankfully, it was quick moving and we picked up on Sunday. We actually accomplished everything I had planned with a little combining so I was happy with our week! The big excitement (for me) is that we finally finished The Wind in the Willows and started our next book, A Christmas Carol. The kids quickly realized they knew the story when I mentioned Scrooge's name. :)
We painted watercolors like Monet this week....
We ended our week in the Netherlands by making a 3-D ice skating rink. This was quite the intensive project but Hunter mentioned multiple times how much he enjoyed it. :)
They turned out nicely...hard to see their skating rink but they look neat:
We're going to accelerate Samuel's reading program next week so we can finish it up before surgery...everything is revolving around surgery right now (at least for me). :) We are soooo ready for December!!!!
I loved those skating projects. We have to pick it up on Expedition Earth. It always seems to be the one thing I never get to! xo
