Family Scripture Study: 1 Nephi 10
Family Scripture Memorization: 1 Nephi 4:6
Pray/Pledge/Motto
Music: Lots of Primary song singing
Christian Living: We read almost half of the January Friend.
Math: We discussed the principle of multiplication and practiced the multiplication tables.
Idaho History: We filled out some papers for the home school day on the hill in a couple of weeks. They had to fill out several Idaho State facts. It also included lots of information about the State Capital building. We looked up the answers to these questions on several different websites.
Government: We discussed the purpose of bills and what makes a good bill. We brainstormed for a while. Luke wrote a bill about having a state essay contest that promoted the attributes of Idaho aimed at attracting revue through tourism. Jared wrote a bill petitioning Idaho to create a "State Dog" and that being the boarder collie. Olivia is still working on hers. They will present there bills at the Day on the Hill event. They will debate them and try to get them to "pass" in a mock legislative meeting.
