On Saturday, we all fared much better. Andrew had a fun scavenger hunt in the house looking for objects that conduct or do not conduct electricity.
At the end of the school day both kids went through a box of older photos. They chose one of a person they wanted to draw. This little exercise was to ensure they remembered from last week how to draw a person's face. Both of them did. They also added a background to their drawings this time.
The children also finished their research papers on wild animals. They had picked their reference books, read and wrote down the information they needed, organized their notes, and wrote a short paper on the animal they chose. It was a good first experience for them about how to gather info and write a research paper. We will do it again soon.
