WEEKLY REVIEW 6/14 - 6/18

We finished up our overview of the elements of the periodic table this week. Yaaayyyy! Lol. I also changed the way Little Girl will use our dictation book. I am having her copy it (on the computer) the first day, and I dictate the same passage the second day. I am also letting her use spell check as she does it.

Big Girl has worked a lot on her model horses, customizing them, this week. She also took some photos, which she enters in contests. This is just one of the many reasons I love homeschooling. Children have time to develop their own interests and hobbies.
