Week #14

Along with our home studies, Artsy girl and I spent the night in Huntsville at Space Camp with our American Heritage Girls troop. We had lots of fun (and very little sleep) learning all about the space program.
Soccer Boy finished up our study of the letter "Ww" and water. He learned about liquids and solids and continued adding sight words. I mailed off our form to receive our ants as we begin our study of insects next week.
Artsy girl was a very busy little bee this week. Along with Space Camp, she completed her study of The Declaration of Independence. We will move right into learning about the states as they were added. We also began a study of birds and nests and we will continue to learn about the state birds as we study each state. We also did an artist study of Henri Matisse and his beautiful paintings. She has decided that he is one of her favorite artists so far. He used beautiful colors and even some collages as well. She finished her Art School classes at the Memphis College of Art. This is her fourth series of classes and she continues to love her art.
