Week in Review- March 7-13

Here's what I remember that we did. I'm sure I left out lots.

Scripture Study:
Family: 2 Nephi 26-29. Each individual read their scriptures everyday.
Weekly Scripture Memorization: 1 Timothy 3:5
Theology: Several chapters in Gospel Principles.
Family Read: We read and finished The Bronze Bow. (World History)
Music: Daily piano practice and piano lessons.
History: Moses, The Spinx and the Jewish Calender.
Math: Money management skills, addition, and fractions. We also had lots and lots of Lego play going on this week. Caleb finally was able to follow the directions and built some of his own.
Science: Walking on the moon, gravity, periodic table, day of of the Creation and the Theory of Evolution.
FHE: Faith and the Story of David and Goliath by Caleb.
Club: Had Cub Scouts, scholar school and 4-H.
Games: Cashflow for Kids and Uno.
Goals: Weekly Goal Planning Session Held.
Projects: Dejunked the rest of the house (6 month purge)
PE: The Snow is melting and we can see the ground! We are playing outside a lot now. Lots of ping pong and some Wii Cardio.

Caleb: Caleb's reading is really taking off! We have settled in to reading the Book of Mormon Reader. He likes that better (and so do I!) than the Step Into Reading Books. We take turns reading a picture each. He worked hard on his math this week and learned to do missing addends in additions.

Luke: He had a goal to read easier books this weeks to get his fluency up before he settled into a big book again. He hasn't found "just the right one" yet any way. So this week he read numerous Magic Tree House books for fun and he had a lot of fun reading them! He was absorbed with Cash Flow for Kids this week and spend a lot of time on that. (math) He started his pinewood derby car.

Jared:
He read and finished another Junior Jedi Chapter book. He also continued to work on Peter and the Shadow Thieves. He had fun working on lots of fractions with me. He started his pinewood derby car.

Olivia:
She is still working on 1776 and The Scarlet Letter. She also read two Little Britches books for fun. She'd already read the series a couple of years ago. I think they are her favorite. He She attended two scholar classes. She also is consistently writing in her journal everyday. She had the homemaking bug this week. She sewed some on her baby quilt she's making. She is also hard at work doing some crocheting and looming projects. Her hands are never idle in the car. She also figured out how to do some scrap booking things on her blog with her Adobe Photoshop program. She made numerous things in the kitchen this week including homemade corn and wheat flakes and doughnuts. I've just need to get her to clean up after her self!

Deanna: Read in The History of the Pelopannesian Wars by Thucydides and read The Furies by Aeschylus. (a Greek play) I'm still writing in my journal everyday and reading at least one conference talk a day. Went to the temple this week. I spent a lot of time on Family History research. I also have cut out over 200 quilt blocks for a quilt I'm making for our bed.

Alex: Alex worked. Read lots of conferences addresses. Finished an Alex Rider book and he is listening to a book called Team of Rivals about Abraham Lincoln. He is reading How to Talk to Anyone by Larry King. He is still working on his campaign. He is working on a college level course for further education in his insurance field. Went to the temple.
