Each girl did her math and online work.  We read the Christmas story in Luke 2 and talked about Advent and how to begin.  P did her phonics work and E did her grammar work.  We reviewed our language lessons and wrote a verse for handwriting.  It was a little unorthodox today because E got her cast put on her foot.  But we got it all done!!!
