I am surprised how fast things moved today. We did a lot but children seemed to fly through everything with ease. Did they get everything done correctly? No. Mistakes were made, facts forgotten, mix-ups happened, but everything got straightened out and fixed and we moved on. Did the kids enjoy every moment of their school day? Absolutely! I could tell from the enthusiasm in their voices and the extra things they want to do or ideas they have to 'improve' their classes or new books they want to read. Oh, yes, Andrew wants to go to China to see the Great Wall with his own eyes.

| Andrew found out that multiple choice is not that easy. The Estonian swallow again reminding us that the Independence Day is close. |
 |
| In Math, Andrew got better acquainted with the One Dollar bill. Here he is literally 'making a buck'. :o) |
 |
| Saara's art book focused on faces today and the kids went ahead and drew their self portraits. Among other things. |
 |
| Andrew is recognizable. Saara ... well... It is art after all. :o) |
 |
| Andrew was so proud of his picture, he asked Saara to help him to pose for a photo. |
 |
| The construction work on our Great Wall of China has begun. It will be finished as soon as I remember to buy some more card stock. |
