'15/16 Week 11 Day 2

A full school day. Andrew finished his science book about Alexander Graham Bell. As the book talked a lot about telephones, we took a look at some important telephone numbers in our lives - anything from 911 to family members. The children taped the cards with the numbers to the insides of their binders.

For weeks, the children have been practicing their recorders. They have learned how to hold the recorder properly, how to cover the holes properly, how to breathe correctly, etc. They have also mastered nine songs with just three notes. Today, we added one more note, and will be practicing more songs with more intricate melodies.

The end of the day took us to a play ground in town. We had another fun Park Day. The weather was so beautiful, lots of homeschool moms came with their kids. 

After playing so hard at the park, Andrew still had energy left for an hour of baseball practice this evening.
