Update Cool Thursday

Its a cool 57 degrees outside this morning and the kids have enjoyed kicking the soccer ball.. chasing trixy and doing their math outside this morning.
Heres what's going on this week:

Science:
We have finished out unit on the Sun and will move to Mercury next week. Our last section on the sun was about eclipses, we also had a review to see what we remembered. Like: 1 million Earths can fit inside the sun, the suns light is made up of colors of the rainbow, the sunspots are cooler spots on the sun but when there are a lot of sunspots the whole sun is hotter, .. I could go on and on but I will stop for now :)

History:
We will start learning about Alexander the Great today. That should be very interesting.

The kids are all doing great on their bookwork.

I began last week reading to the kids from a book by Edith Nesbit called "The Enchanted Castle". It has gotten interesting esp. since the kids in the story keep turning invisible :) I have never read it before but it sure seems great so far. Of course it is no Little House on the prairie..(which we enjoyed so much that is what we compare every book to)..
