Poor little M was sick as a dog today. She actually fell asleep on me during a short story before lunch. I don’t think that has happened in years. And I don’t think she has EVER fallen asleep during a story before. At least not one I read to her. Anyhow, I didn’t push anything on her all day so we didn’t get anything official done.
~We talked about how to spell pie which lead to how to spell pi which lead to explaining pi which lead to looking at the Greek Alphabet which lead to looking at the Hawaiian Alphabet. And etc.
~Watched and played Charlotte’s Web. Talked about the differences between the cartoon and the book. Re-defined teh word “fine” in context of the story – she had thought that the phrase “a fine name” was sacrastic, so I explained it was a positve phrase rather than neutral or negative.
~Watched The Waterhorse, talked a little about sea monsters, Nessie, the UK, military, war, etc.
Not bad for a sick day. I have a lot of respect for unschooling.
