This week my birthday was Monday so we took off of school that day. Normally I would not do that but we hadn't seen Chelsea and the babies since Christmas and they wanted to come out and spend the day. My children didn't mind getting an extra day off :) By Thursday a very stressful situation I have been dealing with got the better of me and I had a horrible migraine. The children were able to complete some individual work and I gave an art assignment and a science assignment they could do on their own but the other planned work I had required me to read and that was not possible so the day didn't go as planned but we made it through.
Homeschool Wrap Up Week 18
Bible: We have started reading in the book of Acts.
Read Aloud: We are reading Dangerous Decision by Susan K. Marlow and The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Science: We read the first half of chapter 4 in Botany and the children built some models of flowers out of clay and construction paper.
Emmie completed 2 lessons in AAR Level 3. She has been very interested in a show on TV called Crikey It's the Irwins that is about wildlife and animal rescue so she was excited that her story was about a Wombat Rescue. She is working on subtraction in math.

I'm sorry to read about your migraine and stress. I will remember you extra in my prayers! Those Christmas pictures with your bright-eyed grandbabies and happy family are sweet treasures. Even with a birthday and sick day this week, you did so very much! I hope you give yourself credit for that. {{{hugs}}}
