Bible: We did 3 lessons in the 10 Minute Bible Journey.
Read Aloud: We finished the YWAM Biography on Laura Ingalls Wilder and completed some of the study guide pages. I planned on playing some music from Experience History Through Music Musical Memories of Laura Ingalls Wilder but I could not find it anywhere! I either misplaced it or loaned it out I'm not sure. We read a few chapters of The Last Battle and DragonKnight ( I feel like we have been reading it forever and are still not even halfway finished!)
History: I jumped forward to week 3 in our review of Pathway to Liberty. These lessons take a lot longer then our usual history and took up a big chunk of our school days this week. As part of the course we watched parts 1-3 of a documentary called Seeds of Change, read two chapters in Henry Ford a Young Man with Ideas and a few chapters in Age of Extremes and completed the assigned pages to go along with the readings.
Science: We completed the lessons on Galileo in Techie Homeschool Famous Inventors and made a telescope. We will get back to Apologia Anatomy in a couple of weeks and finish up that book.
Poetry: We are still working on memorizing The Happy Farmer.

Other Activities this Week
Monday was Christian's birthday! That sweet baby boy is turning into a wonderful young man!
We went out to the range to practice (it was NOT warm!) had to run a few errands, and then went out for a birthday lunch.
Tuesday Alex and Christian had Trap Practice.
Wednesday was Kid's Club and Children's Choir.
Thursday Emmie had dance. We worked on the SeaPerch and picked up our birds. We got a batch of 20 Poultry Chain Chicks and so far they are doing great. Chicks are so cute! At least for a week or so. After this year I am retiring from this project.
Friday morning was the local junior AYSSP Trap Shoot. We had to be there by 7:30 am. Christian shot 11/25.
Friday night was our 4 H Achievement Awards Banquet. The theme was Ride High With 4 H. Emmie was a greeter, Lily played piano for entertainment, Nick gave a speech on SeaPerch, Alex gave a speech on Adventure Challenge Camp, and Christian led the Pledge of Allegiance. We had a silent auction to raise money for the SeaPerch Competition.
Christian won county and district for his Beginner Technology and Engineering Record Book.
Anthony won county and district for his Intermediate Technology and Engineering Record Book.
Alex won county and district for his Intermediate Animal Science Record Book.
Nicholas won State for his Advanced Technology and Engineering Record Book! When you get to the advanced level it is more difficult. You have to add a resume to your record book. Only a few across the state are chosen as finalists in each project area. Then the finalists have to go to an interview. After the interview the state winners are chosen. He will get to attend a free trip to Atlanta in November and also be eligible for 4 H state scholarships next year.
Nick also won County Champion.
It was a big night!
Saturday morning was the local AYSSP Senior Trap Shoot. We had to be there by 7:30 Alex shot 43/50. Both boys are doing well for it being their first year to shoot.
I hope you had a great week!
Happy Homeschooling!
Congrats to your awesome 4-H winners!!!!
