Wednesday
Elliott continued working on places in his math book, and did another vocabulary page in Explode the Code
Margie did a page in her map book on different map projections of the Earth.
Margie and I had a good conversation about journalism and how it’s supposed to be unbiased, and how it really sucks when it’s not. We also talked about SOPA which is big news today, and we followed the news stories about how senators and representatives dropped their support of this after certain websites blacked themselves out in protest and asked their visitors to contact their reps.
Thursday
Elliott did some work in his map book. He also had speech today.
Margie practiced her multiplication tables. She also read The Lightening Thief.
Friday
After Elliott’s OT appointment, we all went to the Children’s Museum to check out their new trash exhibit. We learned (or re-learned) about the great pacific garbage patch, the kids made projects out of trash (a dalek and the TARDIS, of course), they played with magnets, among other things. Then we spent the afternoon at the park where the kids played and built houses out of pine needles.
