What We Did Today

I'm going to try to start writing here more often again. I was looking back at the old "Six Little Olive Plants" the other night, and it was nice to read all the things I had forgotten about. So here goes.......

I felt horrible today, as I got hit with a sinus infection sometime yesterday afternoon. So, we didn't get as much school done as I would have liked.

Elias and the Middle Boys started the day off with some Medival crafts. They made little felt sacks that tie around their waists and then they wanted to make beauty patches! We read that they were the style in Europe 300 years ago. So they cut shapes out of paper and glued them on their faces with a paste we made of flour and water.

Then we finished history, reading, and Bible for the week and skipped everything else for the day. Josiah and Jarrett are doing Sonlight Core C, which is a general overview of history.

We took a lunch break for some chicken soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Then I got in a few hours worth of school with Devin this afternoon. He's studying Algebra for the first time. So I helped him with that and I got a lot of his work corrected and grades recorded.

Well, I'm off to clean the school room and fold my fifth and final load of laundry for the day!
