A glance at what DG has been up to in recent days.....
Completing Unit 10 of Creation to Christ
I thought I'd type out her narrations from her notebook page this week since there is a discussion going on about written narration on one of my favorite CM forums, and I know the picture is sometimes hard to read. Though one assignment each week is to copy from her reading, she sometimes elects to do narration instead, which is okay with me!
She is reading The Story of the Ancient World independently and then completing short writing selections over portions she reads.
The Philistines were fighting the Israelites. David's brothers joined in. David often went down to bring food. One day he went and saw a giant come out of the Philistine army and challenge any Israelite man to a single combat. But all the Israelites shuddered in fear. David said, "Let me go fight this man!" So he went with just a sling and a stone. He swung his first shot and knocked him down.

Saul was searching for David in vain for awhile, when he finally stopped at a cave and fell asleep. Little did he know, David was in the cave also, only a few feet away. So David cut off a piece of Saul's robe and kept it. When Saul arose, he went outside. Suddenly, David appeared at the doorway holding the piece of Saul's robe. Saul was stunned by David's generosity, and stopped pursuing him for awhile.
Crocheting- She finished three coasters and a scarf.
Sewing- She completed the pet blanket, and it is being enjoyed by her little dog already!
Painting- We went to a paint on plaster store the other day and she completed this project:
Dance- Four days of dance this week! The first company performance for the year is coming up soon and the dancers are working really hard. DG is excited!
I bought the crocheting DVD from the ladies at the HS convention and didn't do anything with it yet. Your daughter's projects have inspired me! Thanks for sharing.

Her crochet projects turned out so good! I think we may try your dog blanket idea. :) Keep up the good work, DG!
