Back into school after Thanksgiving break week. Enjoyed having the week off and just being with our family. We pushed through 3 weeks of school so we could take a couple off for Christmas break. Girls really seem to be doing well and work together real well too. I see E and P helping with G and also P stepping up and helping when she can.
We reviewed CC for first 12 weeks each week and traced our Geography maps. The girls know all 50 states and exactly where they are on the map along with their capital Pretty impressive :)
Girls continued reading, writing, spelling, and Math also.
