Week in Review ~ Week 6

WOW! I can't believe we just completed 6 weeks of school (and only one day off for Labor Day)!

~Family Accomplishments~

~Reclaimed the Living Room and Dining Room: They are both free of boxes and other than bare walls are finally finished after having moved into this beautiful house 10 weeks ago (this is what I did instead of "schooling" on Labor Day)!

~Decided to have History and Science be more "student-led". In Science, I am allowing Unicorn to choose her topic (ocean animals) while I choose the format (Non-Fiction books & Notebooking). For History, I am choosing the topic and she gets to choose the format (Literature & Notebooking).
