'15/16 Week 9 Day 4

Dad's going to be home tomorrow! That means, today was our last day of school for this week. We have been going straight without any breaks or holidays for nine weeks now, and taking a day off for a longer weekend seems rather reasonable. The more that we have a bunch of birthdays to attend this weekend. 

Our writing class was an interesting mixture of frustration and laughter. Today, the kids had to follow their own directions to the library on a map. That's were the funny moments were born. Left and right turns got pretty confusing. That's when the frustrating moments happened. The kids saw, how important it is to give precise and detailed directions. If you don't, you will end up at a wrong place. So, we edited the drafts, and the kids wrote much better and clearer directions of how to get to the library from our house.
