• It was a short week this week, because Peyton had a sleep study Thur. and Fri
• Science: we learned the major group of invetebrates
• History: we learned about the rise and fall of Rome. It was a long memory sentence this week. With it being a short week, I want to continue practicing it next week as well. 
• Kyle has 2 short history reports a month, which he completed. He chooses the topic from either our Timeline memory work, or a previously learned history memory sentence
• Since the demise of my keyboard most kids have not resumed Spanish, must order another keyboard.
• I introduced paragraph writing to the twins this week. Although they are in 4th grade, My daughter works about a first grade level, and my son at about late 2nd early 3rd grade level. They both have a reading and language disorder, so this is really the first opportunity that they've had to begin composing paragraphs. 
• We participated in our weekly homeschool co-op
• We followed our plan listed here

• We were supposed to do a model of an animal cell, but we ran out of time, so I think we'll do a playdough animal and plant cell model next week.
• Kyle started Virtual homeschool co-op this week. He is taking Biology and really enjoyed it
• Our homeschool co-op started last week
• In addition to these hands-on activities, we did our regular reading, writing, and arithmetic..... which is detailed here.
