'13/14 Week 21 Day 5

Valentine's Day! We have not had a proper holiday since New Year's and it was getting a bit boring. Now, then, cupcakes with breakfast and a shorter school day. 
It did not mean, we relaxed much in our classes. Andrew completed his eight test in math and did very well. He also got drilled in history about the great explorers. Also in history, we continued reading and learning about the Renaissance period. At the end of the class, I asked the kids to choose one coloring sheet either from Raphael, da Vinci, or Michelangelo. Both kids chose Mona Lisa and colored (by number) their own modern version of the classic.

Valentine's Day cupcakes after breakfast. Truth be told, this was their second helping. We ate the first cupcakes  with Dad before he headed off to work.


Andrew's and Saara's versions of the Mona Lisa.
