Week 24 in CTG

Week 24 in Creation to the Greeks covers from David and Bathsheba to Solomon. We learn first about the consequence of sin and the forgiveness of God toward a repentant heart. Then we see Solomon made rich, but by violating the rules God laid out for the kings (taking many wives, having many chariots and making much gold). History is basically the same as Bible this week, with a couple of extra readings on Israel during Solomon's reign.

We are still taking The Children's Home a chapter at a time. It is an interesting story, and Rabbit is finally getting better at narrating it back to me.

It wasn't a great science week - we just read most of the experiments, except "Oxygen In, Carbon Dioxide Out." This was a great experiment to do. Now, we modified it a bit. We didn't have any balloons large enough to go over the bottom of a 2 liter bottle. But, I had an old 12oz water bottle and that worked perfectly. Basically, we scaled down the model in the book. Also, taping the string to the bottom balloon to use it to pull it down didn't work - the tape pulled right off. But, we were able to just pull the balloon with our fingers and get the same effect. I have video of this, but I don't know how to where to put it online so it can be viewed. I'll try to do that. The kids loved this experiment - there were lots of ooohs and ahhhs.

The rest of school has been fine. We are progressing through All About Spelling Level 4 nicely. Usually 2 days to complete a step. Writing Strands has been a bit more of a struggle. This next assignment was to write about the things in her room in some order of importance. She didn't want to do her room, so we're doing the family room (or living room) instead.
