Week # 11

Had another really good week! I wasn't great about recording everything we did this week though. Was too caught up in what we were doing!

BIBLE-
Memory Verse Mathew 5:16 - This was a really long one so I didn't expect the kids to memorize it really. Just to hear it and get familiar with it.
Read Mathew 7:13-29 & 8:1-4
Lots of discussion on Nate Saint. We visited the MAF website to learn more about him and see pictures of him and his family.

LANGUAGE ARTS/ENGLISH-
Copied Memory Verse
DD- Workbook # 1 Pages 60-69 (+ daily review of sight words) She finished her first workbook this week and started a new one. She did pages 35-48 in the new one. She didn't want to stop working! So we just kept going until I finally had to stop her!
DS & DD worked on Spelling DVD each day. they are still enjoying it but I can see it getting old very soon as we have changed the spelling words numerous times but they have won all the prizes already so...
