Weekly Wrap Up - Wrapping up January

This week was hands-down the best week of school we've had in 2011!  

(So what if it is only the 4th week?) 

We got a lot done, and all relatively smoothly.  Of course, instead of leaving me feeling satisfied, I keep seeing all the more that I want to do!  There's always next week, right? ;)

Looking back:

Together we...

- Read and discussed Matthew chapters 8-19

- Took a trip to the dentist

Dale...

- Made great progress in memorizing the Beatitudes

- Began a Beatitudes lapbook

- Added to his weather lapbook (clouds, raindrops, and hailstones)

- Practiced spelling Long U words

- Reviewed capitalization of proper nouns, etc

- Continued practicing 'borrowing'

Alan...

- Reviewed the letter 'O'

- Water colored an octopus

- Made a tp tube octopus

- Played playdough

- Finished pages in his BIG Bible Activity book

- Worked alphabet puzzles

- Read lots of books with me

I...
