Adventure Boxes - 4/10

I'm a little late getting the adventure boxes planned, posted, and even untilized this week.  I'm not exactly sure where to place the blame but life is busy with Shakespeare preparations occupying so much more than Wednesday afternoon and taxes due today.  We spent most of the day yesterday trying to address some of the activities but progress is slow.  Here's the original plan.

Math:  Mathematician:  Renee Descartes
           Craft:  Times table placemats - empty times table chart to fill in the blanks
           Life of Fred:  Lesson #2
           Wrap-ups
           Storybook - mathematical principles
           Math-in-action:  Chart how many eggs we gather per day to calculate cost
                                       effectiveness of having chickens vs. buying eggs.
           Family Apprenticeship: Manners - completes a Faith in God requirement also

Language Arts:  Happy Phonics:  Build a Sentence Game
           Family History:  Pedigree charts
           Publish book reviews on blog for 'Squanto' and 'My Side of the Mountain'
           Passport / Timeline
           Self- Studies (Conference address for Faith in God)
           Oral Narration / Picture Narration
           First Language Lessons
           Choose the next Family Reading - We chose Sarah Plain & Tall, followed by Charly

History:  Self-studies

Science:  Experiment how best to behave while Mommy is working on taxes.  In other words - no science this week.
