Week 7 in Review 10/17-21

Household Highlights
We had to put plastic over a few windows. Fall is here and the night frosts are upon us. 
This gives us more incentive to get lessons done so we can enjoy the sunny afternoons before they are gone. 

Homeschool Happenings
We traveled into Central America this week in Geography. Learning the basics of Botany, and the life of Nephi in the Book of Mormon. In History we are about to embark on a Revolution. Jacob is learning about the early theories of our Solar System. Abigail is working in a crochet project for Zachary's birthday on Sunday. 


On our Book shelf

Adventures 

We joined a new scout troop last week. The boys are very excited. 
Its a little larger than we had been involved in and I think 
this will allow them more opportunities. 
Abigail is also active in Activity Day Girls again. 

Helpful Homeschool Hint 
Lesson Planners. I print one each with a list of assignments for the week.  

My Favorite Thing
This garden bag was in a box of donated stuff. I LOVE bags but 
had no idea what to do with this one.  Then I had an idea!
PERFECT!! The inside has pockets for pencils, glue, note cards etc

Whats Working Not Working
Our grammar was not working for us at all. I found a textbook for 
Abigail and Isaac and will be ordering a new book for Jacob and Quinten.

Presidential Choice's

So for Civics this week we watched the TWO HOUR LONG debates.. anyhow, as their assignment Quinten and Jacob had to list their top two picks and why they would choose them.. I decided to type of Isaac's ( he did his as extra credit as he is not taking civics). ( I typed this exactly as he as written it) 
My first choice for Presidentuall Canadete is Ron Paul. I chose Ron Paul because he say, we, and nowone else dose. Becase wene he talk's he say's the word's that I would say. My secend choice for presidentuall canadete is Gingrich. I chose gingrich for second because he says he don't know who he should say because he loves evry one up next to him. and because of his laugh. My third choice for  presidentuall canadete is Jonson. I chose Jonson as third because he makes me laugh. and because his look. My fourth choice for  presidentuall canadete is herman. i chose herman as fourth because his look and because he says the words i would say too.
