Multiple-Digit Brain

The Homeschool hosted a sweet visitor, two actually, this morning. Grandmother brought her darling little friend to play! Well, Toddler didn't think in positive exclamations, though... and visitor only validated his feelings when she called Evel Kenievel "Bobby!" (Barbie.)



Grandmother did sit, beneath the dining chairs in their cave, and listen to records of Hans Christian Anderson Tales with Toddler, and that made up for his hurt feelings of having to share his toys! Alternate remedy: Computer time!



Math brought new concepts in addition. Student conquered adding with 3 addends. The vertical being more challenging than the horizontal. Also new to the brain, was adding double-digit numbers and skip-counting by fifties. It would have been nice to have a prepared Teacher with 50 cent pieces...Seatwork was dragged on for quite the while today, but all was completed before midnight with the help of CHOCOLATE CHIP rewards!

Principal and Student worked together to complete Phonics and Writing seatwork. Student reviewed alphabetizing and sentence structures. A comprehension exercise was the first of it's kind, but no match for the cooperative effort of Principal and Student. What a team!

US History was supposed to happen today, but didn't! Teacher is actively checking the requirements for this year's History so as to keep on track for Spring Break! It's coming, coming, and soon to be here! The Homeschool may have to call out the History Guru, Uncle Toby, to restore lost time!



Science's circulatory system came to life with kidshealth.org which Student used as a basis for her heart diagram of the four chambers. To-be-water-colored tomorrow, and labeled, then shown-off to nurse Auntie!

Mrs. S had to cancel lessons today, no violin when there is a stomach-sickened toddler in her home... prayers for their curly-daughter going up! Tomorrow morning, at 8:30am Student will play at a local school with other Suzuki buddies! Bright and early with the black & white duds on...pictures to post tomorrow...FRIDAY! Blessings of rest for the Homeschool until then.
