'14/15 Week 32 Day 1

Yesterday was spent at the dentist again. We still did some math and reading, but it did not count for a full day of school. Today, however, we tackled the everything with gusto. Andrew, Saara, and I were knee deep in science about light. Both children's lessons are talking about the same subjects, so they both were part of each others classes. Also, Andrew and I watched some videos about Newton's first law, and then tried an experiment about inertia. 
For Saara, and Andrew too, the today's highlight was watching a documentary about gladiators and the Colosseum in Rome. Saara donned her paper laurel wreath for the viewing, but then decided she did not like being an emperor after all, and took it off.

Science. Saara dividing objects into opaque, translucent, and transparent.

More objects to check.

Andrew trying inertia on a raw egg.

A writing assignment. Andrew helping Saara understand the importance of flowers. It is so neat to see when they are understanding a subject well and are able to explain it to others.
