Happy Thanksgiving!

I've been a little busy the last two weeks, between jury duty(I didn't get picked!), school, piano practice, church, getting all the Christmas' gifts(I try to have everything ready before Thanksgiving weekend, have you ever been to the Mall after black Friday?... it's crazy!!) and of course Thanksgiving. We also went to see the movie Twilight! it was very good!

Last week we did a Johnny Appleseed lapbook, it was pretty basic but the kids really enjoyed it.
We have two more lessons to go and we'll be done with Math U See Primer. We are starting Alpha in January. We are moving right along with reading made easy, A6 is doing excellent with that!

This past summer when I was planning the first half of the school year I had schedule this week off from school. But we started having so much fun doing lapbooks that I decided to do school for two days this week so the kids could do a Thanksgiving lapbook, I got greedy!
Turns out we really needed to have this whole week off. When we got up this morning nobody wanted to talk about school, starting with me. We did read The Night Before Thanksgiving and The Thanksgiving Door but our heart was not really in it. So I made an executive decision and school is canceled for the whole week as originally planned.

Last year we had a six weeks on one week off type of schedule, I thought we would continue that this year but we were having so much fun lapbooking that we just kept going. Now it is time for a much needed break. After this week we have two more weeks of school then three weeks off!!!
This will probably be my last post for this week, we are going to Grandmas for Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving Day!
