We started the week by participating in the Illinois Heartland Library System’s “Library Crawl.” We had a lot of fun visiting a dozen libraries, and Chickadee also got some practice with maps and navigation!

The rest of the week we focused on our regular work. In algebra she learned about the standard form of linear equations, and practiced “reading” a graph to come up with a formula to go with it. In history we read about the continued colonization of Australia and Africa. We finished The Wind in the Willows…it was a charming book! In religion we read about the difference between the theology of the cross and the theology of glory. She finished the chapter on the introduction to the periodic table in science. And this week’s recipe from the American Girl Sweet & Savory Treats Cookbook was Apple Bread Pudding inspired by Kit. It might be my favorite thing we’ve made so far…it tasted just like fall!

Not sure if we have anything special going on next week, but we’ll see!
