School in the afternoon

We had friends come play this morning so we did school this afternoon instead and it worked well since C took a longer afternoon nap!  I didn't get many pics because my camera battery was out.

We finished Unit 16 for D&K!!!

D is getting used to his math - it's definitely making him THINK more (which is so good!) and challenging him.  I love it and I know he's enjoying it more, too.  We just have to get those facts down...thankfully this curriculum gives him a few extra weeks to work on them.  Whew!  He tried the computer game that goes with his curriculum and was sad to find out it's only math games...guess he was expecting it to be more random video game-like?!  He did play it and we'll use it off/on some weeks to reinforce what he's learning.  It separated into various concepts/levels/learning & activities. 

His Bible story today was about the Resurrection...JESUS IS ALIVE!   D enjoyed listening to this part of the story and hearing how the women found the tomb empty!

To go with the "cave" (tomb) in the Bible story, D's activity was to put 4-6 objects in a bowl, cover it and then turn turn backwards.  I took an object out and he had to guess what I removed.  He did well and K noticed the fun and came over to the table and begged to play.  We did it with her for a few turns and she did well guessing the missing objects, too!
