Here are the songs that we played:

Beginning band: Minor Rock, Rio Bravo, Jingle Bells, and Dr. Rock.

Advance band: Valley Forge, If I didn't Have You, All Through the Silent Night, Swingin' on a Star, 12 Days of Christmas, and Christmas of the Toreador.

Also this week, we read the story of The Nutcracker and we are doing to go to see Joey and my cousins, Emily and Sydney, perform The Nutcracker. We are going to go my little brother's gymnastics show today and on Sunday we are going to go to my clarinet recital at a church. There were a lot of performances this week.
This week I started my Middle Ages book. I made two pages one on The Fall of Rome, and another on the Byzantine Empire. I drew a nice map for The Fall of Rome, and I'm doing a drawing of the Hagia Sophia for the Byzantine Empire.

This week we learned more about Viking mythology. We leaned different stories of the Viking gods ,the Aesir, and their war and eventual truce with the Vanir, some other gods of the Norse.


Also this week, we went to the optometrist to get our eyes checked. We also looked at some new glasses for Joey and I.

This post will cover two weeks.
This week we went to my Aunt and Uncle's house for Thanksgiving. We stayed there two days, and we camped on their front yard for the night. It was about 40 degrees and we brought some really big blankets.
Here is a picture of us at my Aunt and Uncle's house:
Also this week, we learned about the Vikings and about how they were really the first ones to discover North America. We learned about their mythology and about Eric the Red and his son, Lief Erikson, and about their way of life. We also made a Viking ship out of paper.
Here is a picture of the Viking ship:
