Weekly Review - First Week

Our first week of school consisted of 4 half-days, three of which contained academics. David was sick for 2 of those days, so he didn't accomplish much academics.

All of us:

• Reviewed Paul's 1st and 2nd missionary journeys (from last year)
• Learned a new hymn (The Solid Rock) and a new praise chorus (Mighty is Our God)
• Family prayer each day
• Read a section from Acts about the start of Paul's 3rd missionary journey
• Went to a homeschool park day with about 10 other families
