Snow Fun

Family Scripture Study: 1 Nephi 21
Weekly Family Scripture Memorization: Moroni 10:34
Read-a-loud/Greek Fantasy: We read 3 1/2 chapters of Percy and the Olympians.
Social: Played with some home school kids for a couple of hours. They had killed and skinned a coyote that morning so my kids had quite the "biology" class with the skin they are tanning, the blood all over the barn (and now all over my kids snow clothes) and the carcass outside the door.
PE: Hours of shoveling and playing in the snow making snow forts.
Chores/Animal Care

Caleb: Read his scriptures, read to his teacher and got his best score ever, made a robin and nest out of clay and painted it (it turned out pretty darn good), learned all about mollusks, and wrote a blog post about what he learned.

Luke: Read his scriptures, practiced the piano, read some random books slightly below his reading level but they are good for fluency, working on a creative writing story, and lots of army man imagination play.

Jared: Read his scriptures, practiced the piano, read in Peter and the Shadow Thieves, worked on division math problems, played Quarter Mile Math, and listened to Harriet the Spy for a little while.

Olivia: Read her scriptures, practiced the piano, when to scholar school and discussed The Screwtape Letters, read in The Screwtape Letters, worked on some math problems, and is working on a report about Williamsburg. (We are going there for her 12th birthday this fall and she has to write about the places she wants to go and see).

Deanna: Read my scriptures, wrote in my journal, read a conference talk, practiced the piano, worked on piano theory, started a theology book, listened to a lecture about literary theory from Yale to help with my English class, word of the day, and played ping pong.

Alex: Read his scriptures, reading in the church handbook, word of the day, went to work, lots of Republican Party things going on, listening to The Ranger's Apprentice, and played ping pong.
