| We had enough snow left on the second day that Andrew managed to build a miniature snowman. |
 |
| Beavers. No doubt about it. |
 |
| Andrew checking out the teethmarks. |
 |
| And, of course, the dam itself. |
We started our week as usual - by looking at the calendar and jotting down all the things that will take place this week. It feels like some board planning meeting. :)
I was rather surprised to see how well everything flowed today. We were able to finish EVERYTHING in good time (including lots of additional materials I inserted here and there in almost every class and a 'curiosity' break we took to watch a power company crew chop down some trees on our property).
Now, we are waiting for a second cold wave. It may well mean that Saara will not have a ballet class tomorrow.
 |
| Bible. The kids received their new memory verses this morning. Their song was ideal to sing in the sign language. |
 |
| Math. Our math class was rather intense today. Saara needs some more practice in measuring a perimeter. So, we practiced, practiced, practiced. |
 |
| Andrew is grasping the times table rather well, but he needs more practice with finding the missing number in problems. So, we practiced, practiced, practiced. |
 |
| LA. In phonics we stepped into a new territory: the silent consonants. The kids have dipped their toes into this area before, but now we launched a full blown study on them. |
 |
| The beaver-damaged trees were too close to the power lines, so the crew was out this morning finishing off the work the beavers had started. Andrew and Saara found the traffic cones quite spectacular. |
