School today was awesome. We caught up with the history class we had to postpone yesterday. I included a book about Thomas A Edison's life to our program. It has made Andrew's class a little longer, but he really enjoys hearing about a very mischievous boy who was called 'bad' by his teacher and ended up being homeschooled by his mother. He grew up to be such an important person in the States. What is more amazing, he never let his inability to hear stop him from working on inventions that required hearing.

| Science. Andrew's favorite day is when we do the TOPS science experiments. Today, we explored the function of a switch in a circuit ... |
 |
| ... and tested what happens to the light bulb if we use alternative paths. |
 |
| Art. This afternoon, we acquainted ourselves with the paintings of William Turner. As a lot of his works depict sunsets, the kids painted a simple sunset themselves. It also gave us an opportunity to talk about perspective. |
 |
| Andrew got a little carried away with his mixing and painting experiments. But that is also a part of the learning process. Both kids had fun working on their sunsets. |
