Home School Weekly Digest

Last week Hope began her study of the individual states in the order they joined the Union. We began with Delaware. For each state, she gets a state sheet, learns some facts, puts the flag sticker on and colors the state bird and flower (looking at a colored card for reference). You can pause the slide show to get a longer look at the pages. I had borrowed two books on each state: Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Georgia to learn about the states in colonial times and what they are like now. I love the library.

We began reading Indian in the Cupboard for our read aloud since there was no scheduled read aloud this week. Both Hope and Owen are loving the book. We read it over the next week or so. We'll take the next 4 weeks off for our vacation (except for a little Thanksgiving unit and one week of spelling in CA). What a joy it is to teach and I am thankful to be a teacher (it's in my blood).
