This week was an active one. We began by skiing on Monday and listening to The Young Carthaginian by G.A. Henty in the car on the way to and from the ski slopes.
Tuesday morning we were busy with music lessons. From Tuesday afternoon through the full day of Wednesday, we made great progress. A new system of accountability was put into play for behavior during the school day. Maybe I'll share more about it in a few weeks if the system works but so far, so good.
Thursday morning we attended CBS and learned more about Amos and the ancient kings of Israel and Judah. Mostly we learned that God is just and merciful. It's a lesson I need to hear and imitate.
Friday we watched a DK video about fish and then attended a performance by Mama Yaa. The children and I enjoyed two stories of famous African American women and learned about African drums. Friday afternoon was productive getting ready for a birthday party and finishing up the weeks assignments.
