Monday, January 5

First day back after "vacation", but I didn't get enough vacation to get any real planning done, change the bulletin board, or rotate the picture books.  Today was sort of spastic and a bit exhausting, but as far as things accomplished, not too bad.

All:

• Illustrated Catechism - Inos Biffi
• Angel Food v. 1 -- 1 story
• Little History of the World -- chapter about ancient India, along with mapwork (mostly for K's benefit, but G was also interested in looking at the language/culture maps, which showed the different language families including Indo-European); also had some interesting discussion about Buddhism and the merits (and possibility) of not wanting anything, bad OR good
• Be Glad Your Nose is On Your Face by Jack Prelutsky -- various poems, much giggling.  K read aloud long after I said that I couldn't read anymore because I had to eat lunch.

Gareth:

• Saxon lesson -- area of a parallelogram. Some trouble with this.
• spelling
• writing-- Aesop -- the least possible
• Latin
• ancient Roman coin kit
• SciQ Sunday recorded -- future inventions

Katydid:

• times tables
• dictionary work
• spelling
• violin practice
• vision therapy
• Harry Potter
• researching chickens, chicken coops
• Latin

Farmerboy:

• stamps

• My Father's Dragon audio -- AGAIN

• Duplos/legos

• outside with K, chickens

• browsing Roman books, Usborne Time Traveler

• Mr. Popper's Penguins, 1 ch - bedtime book
