When I first started looking through the pictures for September, I thought "Wow, Valerie is having a lot more fun in kindergarten then Lily is having in third grade!" Luckily, I kept looking and realized that third grade is pretty darn fun too!
Lily took up tennis lessons at the Cooper Complex! Tennis is officially her favorite sport and she improved so much over a month period. She looked so forward to her tennis lessons that were twice a week. I just wish it wasn't a 40 minute drive to get to the Cooper Complex! 
We had a fun field trip to the air show in Camdenton, Mo. Lily loved looking at all of the air planes.
My favorite project that we have been working on so far this year is her Story of the World Journal. We listen to these cds that are called Story of the World and they tell all about history. As we listen, we draw pictures to help us remember what we are learning.
Another awesome thing about Story of the World is that it matches up with our Classical Conversations memory work so Lily is constantly making connections.
We also had a great field trip to the Wonders of Wildlife that is connected to Bass Pro. I guess it was actually at the learning center. We went on a scavenger hunt and Lily wrote down all of the animals in either the invertebrate or vertebrate categories.
We also had a wonderful speaker teaches us about invertebrates and then we did art projects to go with it. Here Lily is with her jellyfish. She also made a crab and a worm farm.
We love having friends over so we invited our lifegroup friends over for a day of pumpkin fun. We made pumpkin pie scented.
At Classical Conversations, we are having so much fun with our presentations. The other week she did a presentation on her favorite animal which is a horse. These presentations really motivate our writing lessons. We love that! She also did a persuasive presentation the other day where she convinced everyone that garage sale shopping is better than regualar shopping!
Lily loves her best friend Boston. Boston often comes over after CC on Mondays and lately they have been drawing together. Then they set up a table in the front yard and they sell their work. I am shocked to say that in two weeks they made almost $5.00. Very proud of these awesome girls!!!
