SL Core D- Week 11, 11"A" & 12 May 16 to June 6, 2011

We are on a LOW-IG week 12 1/2 or Week 24 of Core 3. It is hard to believe we could be on week 24 and 2/3 of the way done if I hadn't added in our stuff. I am glad I am taking it slow this time. I usually feel a gravitational pull to finish each core as quickly as we can; and I don't have that this time...what a blessing.

So, this is a left-overs week and we should be focusing on SL science and LA-AAS/FLL/WWE. I have flopped back and forth about what book to add-in next. I thought about Calico Captive or Daniel Boone by Cheryl Harness or Ben and Me by RObert Lawson. ...and the winner is: Ben and Me. I think I should wait another week or more for the Daniel Boone. It is the only library book; so I know I can't put it off for long.

We also need to start Artemis Fowl for our library book club. That will hopefully be a fun book to read.

We went fishing again last night and enjoyed that. We didn't catch anything and that was a little bit of a bummer; but it was nice to be at a pond with all the birds, turtles, and bugs...yes, I am serious. I am weird like that. There were lots of dragonflies buzzing around eating mosquitoes.

Week 11  May 16-20th 2011:
Bible: Luke & Numbers
Landmark, American Indian Prayer Guide, Sing the Word: Great in Council and Mighty in Deed--I always, always forget to write that in here; but we do it about daily,Teaching Textbooks, WWE, FLL, RFH(reason for handwriting), AAS (all about spelling)
