Tuesday!

Besides the basics math, spelling, reading 15 pages is Thomas Edison and writing...and a couple of more simple science projects...
We enjoyed watching a video from the Discovery channel, "Shipwreck! The Lusitania"... supposedly German U-boats from WW1 blew this ship up. For our read-aloud, I started Robert Quackenbush's, "Who Let Muddy Boots in the White House?" about Andrew Jackson. Our family enjoyed a one-hour, very interesting Michigan History class! We also learned a little bit about Samuel Morse.
Today, for the first time, Tommie learned how to use a thesaurus! Using Monday's spelling words, he wrote good sentences, with good adjectives and then used the thesaurus to replace the original adjectives. Surprisingly, he thought it was fun!
