Friday 23 Feb 07

Firstborn:
  • Great job on math test (Epsilon 16), only one wrong!
  • Took his Latin test today...pretty good, but more review is needed. I've got to remember to keep that CD going daily.
  • Put together (wrote) a little report on Science & Technology in the middle ages which will be presented tomorrow evening
  • Listened to a big and rather exciting portion of Beowulf
  • Practiced Menuet

Sunshine:

  • Started a new Alpha math lesson today. Although she is nearing the end of the book, I feel we need more drill before going on to Beta. Trying to find fun ways to do this.
  • Listened in for most of Beowulf
  • Copied pictures
  • Handwriting
  • Weaving and sewing projects underway

Rosebud:

  • Not really into the work scene today. I think she did the hundred's board and had a music lesson. Sunshine apparently taught her to weave and sew. The girls are trying to make their stitches "march in a straight line."

We finished "Little House in the Highlands" tonight; everyone enjoyed the final chapter immensely. Sunshine learned that we have a napkin folding book and was trying out some creative napkin folds...this would be great work for the Chef's Apprentice!

Firstborn had baseball practice tonight is beaming shyly because he is one of four on his team being considered for the pitcher's mound. The Prof & I are trying not let on how nervous we are for him.

We didn't get out to the yard to take measurments today as planned because it was drizzly. Actually, the children still spent plenty of time out there playing, chasing the chickens, catapulting and even eating lunch. Almamater didn't feel like going out in the damp weather, though. Firstborn is gathering up lots of treasures left behind by the roofers who completed their work today (nails, screws, metal discs, rubber bands, etc)

Lunch: This & That...PB&J on tortillas, leftover french fries, leftover burrito, popcorn, carrot sticks

Dinner: Baked Tilapia with a corn meal breading, bread, salad and radish samples from the farmer's market
