Today we took a "day off" from our school work to go to the party at church (see pics on other blog) and by the time we arrived home (2 p.m.) the kids wanted to be outside and I'm not going to argue when they beg to play outside since that seems to happen infrequently now that the weather is cooler, more wet, cloudier, etc. We'll make up for it tomorrow (Wednesday). :o)
On Monday, we completed Unit 8, Day 3 work for both kids. D had a bit of difficulty in math - he wrote the first few problem's answers really BIG and I had asked him the other day not to do that or there would be a consequence. He ended up losing his video game time yesterday because of it. Then, when I checked over his paper before we moved on to another subject, I found a few of the "unknown" problems were wrong. He had 8 + 2 = 6 instead of 4 + 2 = 6 and he did it for several of those types of problems. I erased the ones that were incorrect and he went back and did them correctly.
He read another chapter in the Magic Treehouse book. He's enjoying the story and doing well reading words that were new to him a few days ago that he now reads fluently.
K had to cut out 8 pieces of jewelry for her counting page for her counting book. I used a combination of stickers and drawings for her to cut out and she did it all by herself again. Her Bible story was about the Israelites fleeing Egypt once Pharaoh said they could "GO!" The Egyptians gave them gold, silver and more so that's how the jewelry tied into her counting page.
We had break in our school day due to the piano being delivered to the house around noon. The kids were so excited that they immediately sat down to play it as soon as the movers left. I ended up getting out the lesson books I had begun with D last year and they both sat down and completed the first lesson. I'm excited that they're excited to learn to play it!
We finished our school day while we ate lunch around 1 p.m. :o)
