Week 26 Week in review 7 weeks to go!

Well this has been a good week, we only did school 3 weeks because we are taking off for Good Friday. Co-op is having a break for the holiday also, which is great. WE are still in the midst of WWII, and we will actually have the war start next week. The last 3 weeks have been a bridge of getting to know the players (rulers of each country) and what their "angle" is in this conflict. Did I ever tell ya'll (yep I is a Texan LOL) that I hate studying this time period?

These are the books and video we used for this week. OHH by the way did you know that tweeners will find Pable Picasso art very funny? Well neither did I! Ohh by the way Picasso had an issue with female anatomy, enough said! But the video did show a lot of his art and that was the goal.



This is our control center, it has our announcements for the week, it has our not update date, and our vocabulary. We do vocabulary together for history because all they were doing was copying the definitions without a clue what they meant. So I put in simple terms and then they copy it and use it in a sentence. Try using lebensraum in a sentence, that was very difficult.


And last but not least is paper mache blimp picture, it is now total covered in paper mache and will need another coat of paper. I wonder if we will finish studying WWII before we are done with this project!


The research papers did not get edited this week, I am needing to go make copies of our CQLA and since our printer has been broken I have yet to find the time to do it. Math is coming along well and really we had a very lite school week with only three school days we just took it lite.

Wednesday, dh day off we had to deal with car issues I barely had time to make it to the libray. I hope to be able to make copies this weekend some time. I hope we will be able to buy a new printer by the end of April, we so did not need a car bill to pay it has put us in a bind to pay other bills that are due. One of dh's account that he gets paid spiffs has not paid him in 2 weeks and we are now owed over $300 and we are expecting a couple of checks in the mail. I pray they will pay him soon so our bills can get paid, we have no saving built up to take the blow for our car bills. Ugh but dh's "season" is just starting so we hope to be caught up soon and can start to pay off our debt soon. We also hope to build a car fund to be able to pay these bills soon and will be less of a bomb in the old account.

That was our week, the good the bad and the ugly!
