Building with Legos

Robin spent a lot of time building with Legos, inspired by this book.

He took a bike ride.

And tried Beef Wellington for dinner.

We looked at a fascinating picture of sand magnified 250 times.

"Can I read that book instead of doing my word sheet?"

Robin worked with Saxon Math 1 today.

We went to the library.  While we were there I asked Robin if he was ready to try reading the very easy phonics readers we tried for a while last year (but which he was really frustrated with at the time.)  He said yes - and then he read three of them at the library and one when he got home.  He still wants to guess what the words are by looking at the pictures, but he is clearly much better able to figure out what the word is when I prompt him to read it instead.  Yay!  I read to him.

Including a book about Earth Day.

And one about African tribes.

Rainbow Tag

Robin attended his MAHC classes today:

Laugh-Along Silly Songs

Chess Club

and

Youth-Led Musical Theatre.

And played active games such as Capture the Flag, Zombie Tag, and Rainbow Tag.  On Rainbow Tag: "everybody goes on one side of the tree stump and then there's one person who calls out a color and if you're wearing that color, you have to run to the other side of wherever you're playing.  Then if you get tagged by the caller, you're not a caller but you get to help tag the people who are running when the caller calls.  If you get to the other side of the field without getting tagged that means you made it but then they call another color and you run back the other way.  Once everybody is tagged you start over or stop playing."

Graphing

Robin worked with Saxon Math 1 today for the first time in quite a while (a new baby and holidays will do that.) He created a simple bar graph.

Robin completed a word worksheet, and I read to him.

Including a magazine about the Sun.

And a book about princesses in story and reality.

Pizza (almost) from scratch

I read to Robin.

Including a science magazine, Ask.

We read online about this project: http://www.outofedenwalk.com/ and signed up to get email notifications about it.

Robin made pizza (almost from scratch) for dinner.

New Session at MAHC

Robin attended Mt. Airy Homeschool Co-op today. His classes this session are:

Sing-Along Silly Songs

Sunday

Robin attended his religious education class today which focused on the figure of Jesus.

He worked on a 500 piece puzzle.

And exercised.
