'14/15 Week 23 Days 3 and 4

These two days have flown fast. We have been doing lots of reading. Both kids started new books for reading practice, and we have been getting new read-aloud books as well.

We were supposed to take a math test this afternoon. Well, the UPS brought our kids their suitcases we purchased last week, and they could not contain their excitement. We continued with a math lesson instead. Interacting with them kept them focused much better than working on their math tests on their own would have.
This is what we call homework. Some math practice after dinner.


Spring is in the air. The next few days are going to be wet and cold. We took a short nature walk this morning and looked for sings of spring.
Science. Andrew finished a chapter on photosynthesis. Saara dug up a few Shepherd's Purses for us to examine. We reviewed all the information on plant parts (but the flower) on these two specimens.

History. Andrew also finished his lesson introducing the US constitution and government.
