NOTHING TO SEE HERE: Our day was (gasp) rather unremarkable. We did math, and lots of it. We're trying to finish up the kids' current math book this week.
We also worked on some geography lessons out of a very normal, schoolish type textbook. We read about the Pacific states (Alaska, Oregon, Washington, California and Hawaii). We located landmarks on maps, found their capitals, talked about different regions within the states, transportation and jobs, the state birds and more. It helped the kids cement their knowledge of north, south, east and west, as well as reinforcing their place in the world and the order of things. For instance, we live in the neighborhood Magnolia, in the city of Seattle, in the state of Washington, in the Pacific Northwest, in the United States in North America, in the Western hemisphere and above the Equator in a solar system that's part of a galaxy which is part of an infinite universe. Whew, long list!
The kids also did some reading (about Greek mythologies and animals), and both researched the history of Keyboard Cat. (Yes, that IS educational.)
This afternoon it was off to acting. Annabelle and I slogged our way through a game of chess and Scrabble poker while CJ did his thing.
This evening, the kids checked their mealworms and updated their observation charts.
