Week 4

Rebecca is in California with her Grandparents, lucky duck! So, the boys and I are plunging ahead without her. She is supposed to be reading Alice in Wonderland, Busy Times, sketching, and doing her wordly wise. She will be visiting Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, and Sea World...So I am not sure how much "school" work she will be getting done, but she will have the time of her little life and much to narrate to us all on her return!

This is what we have done for the week:
