Andrew started a new science book about the human body. Last year he did very well learning about the internal organs and the digestive system, and today I was pleased to see that he remembered most of the information. So, it was more or less a review class.
We took our singular and plural studies to a new level as well: after recognizing nouns and their grammatical number, Andrew started to convert words in the singular form into the simple ('add the 's') plural form.
In history, we visited king Solomon's northern neighbors, the Phoenicians. We looked at their alphabet, their trading routes, and watched a short video on them (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLHNh4caX4Y). It was a good start and we'll learn more about them tomorrow.

| We started our day with solving math problems or 'crayon problems'. |
 |
| Andrew practicing writing down and solving the crayon problems. |
 |
| I am not doing any printing practice this week. Andrew has plenty of writing to do for his spelling practice and Language Arts. |
 |
| Andrew could not take his eyes off the Phoenician and Greek alphabets. He was fascinated by them. |
 |
| Trying to keep yourself still when you sister is tracing your boy on the paper is a science on its own. |
 |
| Saara traced Andrew's body a bit too skinny, but he managed to fit all the major internal organs onto it. |
