We had a very nice week!
DG completed Unit 11 in Creation to Christ. We are hoping to finish half of the guide before December so we can take that month off (from HOD) and we are on track to be able to do that!
Her history notebook page:
And her poetry painting for this unit:
We completed Jashub's Journal. Below is one of DG's pages from the study.
She was glad to be finished with this study. She thought it would have been great to read a study that applied situations to our modern life. When I explained to her that a mother/daughter team wrote Jashub's Journal, and encouraged her that she might be able to write like that one day---------she excitedly decided to begin story in a similar manner and make it modern------that very day. She asked me if I could help her find Bible verses that applied to the situations she would write (of course, my sweet girl!), but so far she has written two short scenarios and has found Scripture without my help (her Bible has some topical references). A rough draft sample of what she is working on.....
It is such a blessing to watch her learn and grow!
DG completed an Atelier art lesson on "shape" in which torn paper was used to form the shape of penguins and their surroundings. I think her little penguins are so cute-----one jumping in the air, one sliding into the water and one riding the waves!
DG finished the first three books in Kingdom Keeper's series this week! She reminds me of someone I know who used to read like that when she was younger.....
We also spent a couple of hours at the zoo this week. The weather is slowly getting to where we can enjoy being out for long periods of time. We are looking forward to going back again soon and staying longer. DG had fun taking lots of pictures! (So did I.)
