History Journal


Here's Half-Pint copying some facts that she felt were important about Squanto.

She now thinks we need to save our fish scraps and bury them in our vegetable garden.

Taking a sick day...

Half-Pint had a low-grade fever yesterday afternoon and it lasted for a few hours. I have her a few doses of a homeopathic med. and she started feeling better around dinner time. Thank God. She woke up this morning with no fever and is acting almost normal. She is a little dizzy at times, but she seems fine.

So, I decided to take the morning off from school. The T.V. has been on for a while already... eeeesh.

Lately, we've been doing a lot of reviewing. It's nice to have that freedom to be able to stop where we are at and go back and review just to make sure that she is "getting it".

I can't believe that it's already November! We're taking History nice and slow, which is good, because we are enjoying all of the books and reading that ties into our "spine". I think I am enjoying it more than Half-Pint, simply because I didn't excel at History when I was in school. At the suggestion of a friend of mine, I checked out Draw Write Now, Book 3. Half-Pint loves it! I highly recommend those books! I am putting another one on hold at my local library.

I haven't found a good rolling crate yet for our library books. I need something that can hold a LOT of weight and that would be easy to "cart around". Get it?
