I never got back to catching up last week. We got busy and overwhelmed with things. A quick catchup…
Margie:
~Spelling (Thursday only)
~Math (Thursday only)
~Black Ships Before Troy (daily). Among other things we talked about, we listened to the story of two men fighting who came to respect each other for their skill and left the battle as friends, rather than enemies. We talked about how modern war does not afford us many opportunities like that – we are so far from our enemies, we don’t ever get the chance to relate to them.
~The theme at church this month is “Generosity” and the kids listened to two stories: A Chair for my Mother and Smoky Night.
~We took her pennies to the bank and turned them into dollars ($25!) and then to the mall where she chose to buy herself a new Webkinz she’s been wanting. She counted out her money and paid by herself.
~Fetch and Electric Company & playing online.
Elliott:
~The usual unschooling. This week, he donned a yellow cape (playsilk) and ran around the house as Word Girl.
~Soccer class – last of the session.
~PBSKids on TV and online.
