'15/16 Week 5 Days 2 and 3

We have had two afternoon in a row nothing but fun playing with friends. These have been good rewards for hard work in the mornings and early afternoons. 
Yesterday, we took a few minutes in the morning to walk around and look for color in the nature. Everything was rather green still. We found a few berries and flowers that were purple or yellow, but majority of our fall is still very green.
Saara finished reading "Stuart Little" by E.B. White. Neither of us were impressed with the story. "Charlotte's Web" by the same author is a much better read. 
Today, both kids took their second math test, started writing their drafts of their animal research paper, and learned about new kinds of verbs - the linking verbs, among other things.
Thankfully, it has not been raining these past few days, and Andrew was able to go to his baseball practice.

Looking for fall color in the forest.




Science. Saara learning about lungs and testing out a lung model.


LA. After a week of researching in books, the kids are finally ready to write the information they gathered into paragraphs.


Practicing his old songs and learning new ones.

Park Day! We made it to the second park day. It was lots of fun.
