'15/16 Week 11 Day 1

This week is going to be a four-day school week. Andrew and Dad have dentist appointments in the middle of the day which allows us to do our reading assignments, but not much else. Besides, Dad's home!

Today, in science, Andrew was mapping and drawing circuits. He thought it was a rather easy task until his assignment included many parallel and/or series hook-ups. Things got complicated, but we were able to follow the instructions and draw the circuits correctly. 

This were much more fun and relaxed during our art class. We looked at the works of Claude Monet, and afterwards, the kids tried to color their own pictures of Monet's "Water Lily Pond". Not just color, but use the kind of brush strokes the impressionists did.

Science. Andrew used different circuit squares to build a complete circuit. It was much like putting together a puzzle.
