Hello there.

So, where are we?

We've been working on 1A3 for awhile now & are doing great! We're actually about halfway through already.

My original plan was to take the holiday's off, specifically December actually. I'm going to stick with that plan, even though we aren't where I expected to be. No biggy. We're going to keep working on math & do some writing here and there, but this month is going to be mostly focused on Christmas!

I made a list of all the fun stuff we're planning to do. Wanna see it?

Ok.

Green means we missed it and we'll try again next year...
Red means we're planning to get this done before the 25th!

Actually there is a lot more, but I've only hand written them in yet so they're not included in this list still. I'm really trying to emphasize what we are DOING for Christmas, instead of what they are GETTING for Christmas.

Oh...I wanted to mention how God is working in our school. Did I tell you we FINISHED Pilgrims Progress??? But, what was really cool was how we walked into Church a week after we were done and our Pastor showed the movie!!! And - he's doing a study off of it about spiritual warfare, which of course is what we are studying in 1A3!!!

Isn't that amazing how the Lord worked all of that out?
I thought so.

Anyway, I'll be back soon and I'll try to include you in all of our projects and outings.
Can you believe it's December 1st already???
