4th grade- Sydney has read some great planets book this week. We are switching around some of her curriculum this week. We are getting ready to start her 3 week break from school so we are just finishing up the loose odds and ends. We are trying to finish up our study of Columbus. We will be taking a break from history and will be concentrating on elections and a short government study when she starts school again. I figure it is a good time because of the election!As you all know Sydney has been writing each state requesting information on the state. One of the states she wrote was Alaska. And guess who sent her back a letter and information? Sara Palin. Thats right the vice president nominee. Neat, I think!
