Learning Notes::Wk 3::2010

This week was horrible for John's belly, it hurt so bad that he actually threw up for the first time in a long long time. It did get better as the week went on, thanks to new medicine and a change in meds. School was pretty much on the back burner, somewhat because John just hurt so much, but also because he had the opportunity to play with friends, that doesn't happen nearly enough, and Mark had his first on-call this week, which is going to happen more frequently but we should also adjust to it after a while.

Learning Our Faith:

• We continued to learn the catechism by heart with the 1st through 6th commandments.
  
• We read aloud Abraham and the Angels and The Offering of Isaac from A Child's Garden of Bible Stories.

Language Arts:

• We finished the third Magic Tree House book Mummies in the Morning, continued Stuart Little, Favorite Poems Old and New, Aesop's Fables, Ben Hur (Illustrated Children's Edition) and had a delightful time sharing Mercy Watson Thinks Like a Pig with our friends.
  

Music

• We continued reading Bach by Wheeler and Deucher and listening to Bach's music.
