Week 5 in review

Hi all,

This was another good week for us. We even did school on Labor Day, the kids wouldn't let me have the day off. We did the usual lessons but also had something interesting for science come up. It appears that all of the Geckos in our backyard are having babies by the dozen. You can't go out our backdoor without at least 10 of them scattering in all directions. The kids decided that would be our science topic for the week while we're waiting for our new Sonlight Science curriculum to arrive. After reading what we could in our books about Geckos and checking so captive ones out as well as chasing them in the yard they decided to make some of their own Geckos. Here's a few pictures of their creations.

The Sonlight Science arrived today and we'll be starting that next week. The following week we will be taking a week off as we are using a 6 week on 1 week off school rotation this year. We're going to be spending 3 days of our week off at Disneyworld. We thought it would be nice to take advantage of it before we move in November and also it's one of our favorite places to go.

I should have photos from the trip in my next weekly update.
