All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete,equipped for every good work. (2 Tim 3:16-17)

- This week we struggled somewhat with Big Bro on yards, feet and inches (Why, oh why is the American system not metric?!?!)
- Light: Absorption and Reflection (and different forms of energy)
Black plastic bag absorbs more light, thus more thermal energy and thus hotter than the white.
And we learnt about the different energy on this interesting website
- Light:Absorption and Reflection
The white paper just didn't work
But the newspaper work REALLY well!
- We had to do a few more practice on the more confusing terms like predicates and subjects but Rod and Staff does great job. (I like it so far)
- Spelling by Sight and Structure for Big Sis
- Spelling Power for Big Bro
- We also learnt the Greek word "sauros" and did our English from the Roots Up notebook page.
- We started the read-aloud Tanglewoods' Secret. (Big Bro volunteered to read to Big Sis during Quiet Time, quite cool and he is a very good reader!)
- And we started to read "All-of-a-kind Family" I really like the book!

We also did a notebooking page about him
This website has great resources for learning about Vivaldi and even a beginning sheet music for "Spring"!
- Learnt to draw lines and ellipses
Have you wondered?
- How old was Adam when he was created? - wow! I don't know!
- You mean, animals talked in Garden of Eden? (referring to the serpent) - hmm...
- Maybe Adam had no idea that Eve brought him the fruit from the forbidden tree? - he was "with her" (said the bible, so...)
- Were Cain and Abel twins? probably not Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord.” And again, she bore his brother Abel. (Gen 4:1-2)
- How long did Noah take to build the ark? 120 years !!!
- What did Noah do to the ark after they left it? Hmm...I don't know! =)

I used the coloring of "S" here and the rest of the pictures from here (I bought it during the "Pay as you wish" sale and I don't quite think it's worth it to pay $10 for it, my personal opinion)
