Weekly Family Scripture Memorization: Articles of Faith 13
Sewing: They all decided they had to sew today. Can a day get any worse?
Olivia finished her horse quilt top. I'm so proud of her. I didn't help her either. She started a second one and is making a baby blanket. Jared made a sheath. Luke made a quiver, a sheath and a picture frame. He sewed for a long time. Caleb made a cape and together we made a big bean bag.Cooking: We made 5 or 6 batches of caramel popcorn. And passed them out later in the day to some friends and family. We made sugar cookies and rolled and cut them out.
Science Experiments: We did a myriad of science experiments including ones involving air pressure, water pressure, fog and crystals. They played for a while after wards with all the stuff and created their "own" science experiments. (Pictured)
Geography: We started putting together our big world puzzle again. We have the edges and all the corners done.
Literature: I read 4 chapters of Treasure Island to Luke and Jared.
Book on Tape: We listened to a Hank the Cowdog book together for about and hour and a half while we drove around on the county roads.
Social/PE: We played at some fellow home schooler's house and went ice skating on their pond. (Pictured)
PE: We went on a walk.
