We finally made it out of the house on a field trip! On Wednesday, we went to see the new “Collected” exhibit at the Missouri History Museum…I was very impressed with it!

This was also a short week for us, as we always take the day off on Good Friday. Ladybug finished the second volume of Jane Eyre. In psychology she read about social dynamics. She continued to work on her final research paper. In writing she wrote four different theses. She finished reading On The Hippie Trail…her last social studies book is American Nations. We made it to the final chapter of our study of the history of Christianity, and discussed what it means to be a confessional Christian today.

Chickadee worked with graphs in pre-algebra, performing transformations including reflections, rotations, translations, and dilations. She read about the California Gold Rush in history. We finished The Bronze Bow. In science she began a very long chapter about the nervous system. Her writing assignment is to combine the various topoi for writing about history to complete a paper about Joan of Arc.

I’m hoping for a few more field trips before the end of the school year!
