In history we studied the early American settlers. We learned that when they didn't have glass, they would use oiled paper for windows. It lets more light shine through and repels water. So of course we made some, too.

For Physical Education Rose enjoyed riding her scooter, playing on the playground, and riding her bike. We have been going biking about three evenings a week in different locations around town.

In addition to reading during school time and free time, Rose continues to read to daddy each evening. (He reads to her for about 45 minutes to an hour and she reads to him for about 10 minutes)

Here Rose is laying out her Bible verse that she learned as part of our My Father's World Bible lesson.
Rose also does the Bob Jones University Bible lessons. She enjoys watching the videos and doing the activities with it. Here she is mixing up pudding as part of the lesson on creation. (it was cute)
Rose also started memorizing Genesis chapter one on her own. I thought maybe we would do that but hadn't really decided when.
One day, she comes in the bathroom, where I am showering and wants me to listen to what she learned. To my surprise she recited several verses. She had been reading and studying her Bible so she could memorize them......and I didn't even know she was working on that!

She continues to love all things art related. We are doing several art things.
(The activities in MFW, I Can Do All Things by Barry Stebbing, Abeka art, and various other things)

Well this is a little more difficult to blog about....
We ended our week with a Field Trip to the Reno Air Races. We had a fabulous time. Thanks to our homeschool group, we had passes to get in the pits and see all the planes up close. We enjoyed looking at all the different types of air planes, watching some of the races, and some the air plane performances. Thankfully we left 2 hours before the close of the show due to Chad having to go to a reception at work that evening.
As you know, the races ended so tragically that day when a pilot somehow lost control and crashed into the reserved seating area, killing 11 people. We are so thankful that God arranged for us to not be there during that time. We are also thankful that more lives were not lost. We pray that this tragedy can somehow bring people closer God and they seek Him.

A bike ride sounds fun! Thank you for linking up and sharing your week.
Wow... your pics are so pretty. So sad about the lives that were lost. Thanks for sharing.
I fell behind on news and family updates. My heart leapt into my throat when I read the news of the crash, wondering instantly if you'd been there. I am so thankful that you were not there at that unfortunate moment to witness or be in any way involved in that tragedy. My heart goes out to Reno right now.
