Josiah (age 8 and in third grade) is "studying" also. He chooses to do his work online!
Anyone remember the SRA Kit we used to have in elementary school? Eliya (age 9 and in 4th grade) is going gang busters on her levels. She takes a test after the reading and then checks her work. She is the "goal-oriented one" so she didn't want to stop for lunch until she reached Level 20. I convinced her that she could take a break and then get back to it later.
Grandpa Dave is doing his work also. His medium of choice is the ipad.
After lunch we watched "Swiss Family Robinson" and then had a craft session. We used acrylic paint and decorated some of the flat shells we brought home from the Florida beaches. Notice the big jar of peanut butter on the counter. They had to have a little snack while they worked.
Eliya, our budding artist turned her shell into a cartoon fish-- a rainbow fish of sorts.
In the first grade, the students are learning to count money. Grandpa David had lots of pocket change and he and Hannah had fun talking about what equals what from one penny to one dollar.
While we were having fun indoors, here's what it looked like outside. This is David blowing snow in our neighbor's driveway. As soon as David removed it, the snow again filled in.
Eliya and I went out to help. We are glad it will be tapering off in the next few hours.
There will be no grilling tonight!!
One thing we know is that it won't last very long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be in the high 30's and then some melting will take place.
Our daughter and son-in-law are vacationing where it is warm and sunny and the beaches are inviting. Enjoy every minute of it, kids! Your children are doing fine!!
