H is reading Things Not Seen,
T is reading Swimming to Antarctica,
we are still studying early America,
we are still researching osteoporosis,
we are doing lots of word problems and problems with variables,
the girls are practicing reflexive verbs, adverbs, and frequency words in Spanish,
the girls are beginning to make Italian sentences and studying the vocabulary for vegetables,
we have listened to several Spanish stories on tape,
we have done some standardized testing,
we have played the current events game,
the girls have played soccer and watched some on TV,
the girls completed a 30 minute swim (84 lengths of the pool),
