Our school week in review

We have been working pretty hard this week and as a reward we could all feel good about the job we have done this week. Yeah! We have been in kind of a slump and didn't seem to be able to get out of it. So this was a our week of victory ;-)  We have been  learning about World War I this week. It was somewhat difficult because the girls don't really get into the war theme. We read in Flanders Field and several other books and have been very saddened about the realities of war. It was somewhat heart wrenching to see the girls reading biographies and such and for the first time "feeling" war on some level. 
Still it was all good, we talked a lot and worked a lot. Papers were written, tests taken, math conquered and foreign language taken by stride. Reading and spelling were done with good attitudes, too! Unfortunately we didn't manage to do our maps this week, instead we had our co-op day which was a lot of fun.
We also had some new snow, much to the disappointment of us all. We even had to shovel the snow, well, Jamie did anyway ;-)


 Here is Jamie shoveling the balcony, her hair was turned into a lump of snow.
The snow was pretty wet......
