Education ::
We briefly worked on our George Washington study this week. Â We read several library books, including George Washington
, and George Did It
. Â We didn’t dig into Amanda Bennett study too much this week. Â A couple of weeks ago I ordered several George Washington books from Amazon. Â They arrived and I apparently put them in a “special spot” that I now can’t find! Â Ack!, it’s been driving me crazy this week. Â I’m worried that I accidently threw them away or donated them somewhere, I just can’t locate the darn books….
Jacob~4th grade :: Â Horizons, The Tale of Old Mr. Crow, Vocabulary, Handwriting/Copywork, IEW

Monday: We read the book and we also read A Walk in New York
. Â We found New York on the map, found the Hudson River, and The George Washington Bridge. Â I made a customizable word search on Worksheetworks.com that related to the book and to George Washington the president.
Tuesday: Along with our main story we read Keep the Lights Burning Abbie
. Â We talked more about lighthouses and remembered that we visited one not long ago. Â We watched a couple of youtube videos about the actual Little Red Lighthouse.
