I worked with Becky:

• Read more about Old Lobo in Wild Animals I have Known
  
• Becky did a tiny bit of cursive practice
• Read story about the Prophet Elisha or Eliseus as Bible History insists on calling him! Becky narrated well about Namaan, etc.
• Becky and I practiced learning the hymn Holy God, We Praise Thy Name. Becky has such a good voice!
• Did practice set for Lesson 3 in Saxon 5/4. Number Sequences
• Did narration and copywork from WWE, Week 8. Caddy Woodlawn.
• Reviewed a tiny bit of Latin and learned about what a subject of a sentence is.
• Becky is all excited to sell T-shirts at the Blessed Virgin Mary's Birthday party which is always the opening event for our homeschool group. She's making a sign that says $5 per T-shirt and then drawing pictures of the t-shirts on the poster.
• Went to BVM's Birthday and collected dues, etc. Had a good time. A sweet girl led us in a decade of the rosary and then the kids all sang happy birthday. Becky had great time selling those T-shirts!
• Meanwhile, at home Sean finished his math lesson and then talked on line with his friend.
• Josh did a lesson in Algebra II

• Took Josh to CLC
• Sean read more The Treasure Seekers
• Becky read two paragraphs from McGuffey's. Then I read a ch. and 1/2 of Little Women to her.
