Johnson House (180 + 3 weeks)

We went on a tour of Johnson House, a station on the Underground Railroad in Germantown.  We lived around the corner from this house for 5 years but never managed to get there.

R went to Parkour.  W completed his training and is now Adult and Pediatric CPR Certified.

D and J made pysanky eggs with friends.  R and W hung out with friends and took a long walk.

D and J went to the library with me.  They both enjoyed building with magnatiles.  In very characteristic fashion, D built organically and creatively.  Unfortunately her masterpiece fell apart just before she felt it was done and therefore before we got a picture.  J on the other hand started with a plan and created what she aimed for (a church):  

J went to ballet.

R made dinner for the family.

D went to Circus.

All the kids attended a service focused on evolution, Easter, and Earth Day, including live music and singing.

We celebrated spring at home by planting a lot of shrubbery, eating a great meal (pulled pork prepared by W!) and going for a walk with family.

W read independently.  R read some with support and some independently.  D practiced reading and mastered 

Bud's Nap by Bobby Lynn Maslen.  J practiced reading and mastered
The Sad Cat by Bobby Lynn Maslen.

R practiced spelling.  D worked with Handwriting Without Tears and J worked with Explode the Code.

W and R worked with LOF.  D and J and R played Yahtzee and cards.

W and R exercised.

I read to the girls and we journaled:
