Timeline

Today was a good day. Doing TJEd is hard work! The mom can't sit back and do nothing or option #2 just boss and assign workbook pages.

I'm sure I'll forget something but here is what I remember from the day.

Family Scripture Study: Finished the testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith in the intro to the Book of Mormon.
Weekly Scripture Memorization: Article of Faith #13
History: We made a big time line that fills 3/4 of our library room wall. It starts at 4,000 B.C. and comes through to present day. Each 100 years is 5 inches. The kids had a lot of fun making it. We put on the major events and then some things we have just recently studied. We added several things as the day progressed. The kids already seem to be able to place things in history better. It was a fun project. (Caleb in a red Power Ranger costume).
Piano: The kids all had piano lessons. They are practicing for their Christmas recital next week. They all practiced the piano. Olivia is really enjoying the piano and spends an hour to two hours everyday studying the piano.
