Just One Quarter to Go!

I am as bad as the students are at this time of the year. I am really ready to be D-O-N-E.  That being said, we did some interesting things this week. 

The best thing we did all week was finish reading Wonder and we watched the movie. It was so sweet. Of course, the movie was not faithful to the book, but it was still worth watching.  It spawned many deep discussions about being kind to people and helping people out.  I would highly recommend the book and the movie to everyone.

We're cruising along in math and science. That's about all there is to say about that.

We read a little bit about the Vikings. I'm not going to spend a lot of time with them. They will come up a little more when we start the Middle Ages next year.  We will move on to Ancient Rome next week.

We finished The Subtle Knife a couple of weeks ago. It was incredibly strange. We started The Amber Spyglass last week, and I have to say I am enjoying it more. Henry is looking forward to the remake of the movie.

We are really hoping that the weather will take a turn toward being more springlike. This March has been incredibly cold and unpleasant. Warmer weather, and being able to get outside will do us all a world of good. Perhaps it will bring back my enthusiasm.
